You're going to be. Hello and

I'm Brian Lauter an editor at Slate's LGBT-q podcast.

I'm Brian Lauter and editor at Slate,

and this week we've got a little bit of an old school slate spoiler special about

season 4 of HBO's True Detective which this time around is subtitle Night Country and

stars Jody Foster and Kali Race as hard-nosed detectives investigating

murder, corporate malfeasance, and mystery in the Alaska town of Ennis during its period of

perpetual night because it's north of the Arctic Circle.

So just a little warning to listeners, we are going to be talking about the whole six episode

season, which just wrapped up this past weekend with a really pretty, let's say bracing finale might be a good word for it so if you haven't

watched that yet and you plan to I would save this episode until after you've caught up and

we'll be right back. All right, so why are we going to be talking about this show on the queer podcast, you may be asking?

Well, that's because it's my colleagueeland de sharm put it in a recent

piece a thorough investigation has led me to a veritable glacial

of evidence that suggests that lesbianism is just as pervasive in the town of Ennis as

Cyclops Polar Bears and mysterious rolling oranges."

I am pleased Madeline was able to step over from producing Slate's Daily News Show What Next to unpack that tantalizing sentence for us. Madeline, welcome back to Outward.

Thank you so much. I'm so excited to be here. I hate copaganda but I do like when the cops are hot, Dyke beating up like bad men who hurt women.

And that is how they get us.

Yeah.

That is how they get us.
