Summary

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) are joined by Leesa Charlotte (@leesacharlotte) and Alyse Knorr, the team behind Ellie's new podcast Sweetbitter, a podcast about the life of Sappho, launching October 15th, to talk about why Juno Should've Been Gay. Has Ellen Page ever played a straight character? Consensus says....no. How much better would Juno have been if she gave her baby to a couple of nice lesbians? Juno has her gay awakening, Rebecca finds a cool Asian girlfriend, who, like dresses awesome and rocks out...but we don't want to be too particular. Paulie Bleecker is a stand in lesbian if we've ever seen one and we all know that Juno's far more in love with her best friend Leah. #justiceforLeah Check out their new podcast Sweetbitter here: https://sweetbitterpodcast.com/ Follow along on Twitter @lezhangoutpod and Facebook and Instagram (@lezhangoutpod).

0:21.2	Before we get started with our This Week in the Lesdom, we would love if you would check out the new
0:25.7	trailer from my new podcast, Sweet Bitter, coming out on October 15th. We get this glimpse back
0:32.9	in time into what were women thinking about. What was important to her, to her women?
0:39.7	Introducing Sweetbitter, a podcast where we investigate the truth and controversy surrounding Sappho,
0:45.6	her life, the Isle of Lesbos, and her relevance today.
0:49.1	Each episode will deep dive into a part of the mystery of Sappho,
0:52.9	with insights from academics, translators,
0:55.7	performers, and poets.
0:58.2	Scholars and writers and religious authorities have been intentionally erasing the lesbian
1:02.5	love in Sappho's poems for millennia now.
1:05.2	But her work has survived all of that.
1:07.5	It's pretty shocking to me that people are still asking, are these really lesbian poems about the woman who the term lesbian was named after? Was Sappho married? Did she have a
1:16.0	child? Did she really have relationships with women? All of this is up for debate. To find out the
1:21.5	answers to all of this and more, listen to Sweet Bitter, launching on October 15th wherever you get your podcast.
1:30.9	This Week in the Lesdom.
1:35.5	This Week in the Lesdom is a place where we can touch base each episode about things going on with the podcast or otherwise.
