Summary
Sometimes we do episodes where I know a fair amount about the subject and end up on a three minute digression about picture palaces. And sometimes I’ve only started to learn about a topic — or read within a genre — and am absolutely thrilled to spend an hour listening to someone else’s expertise. That’s what we’re doing today with queer romance writer Adib Khorram: tackling your questions on everything from how to feel about queer romance written by straight people, why so many romance plots are M/M, where to find great trans romance, and so much more. And as with every episode in our romance series: you do not have to be an avid romance reader to find all of this interesting. (Although this episode might get you interested in becoming an avid romance reader!)

| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, it's Anne. Melody and I are currently planning the next two months of podcasts, and we just |
| 0:06.8 | scheduled a whole bunch of recordings. So here's what's on the docket if you want to submit your |
| 0:10.5 | questions. First, skiing. Not just like, how do you ski? We're talking about like ski culture, |
| 0:17.8 | how it's changing towns that are around skiing, like the transformation of skiing |
| 0:24.0 | into this incredibly expensive and exclusive thing, all that sort of thing. So if you have questions |
| 0:29.1 | about that, please submit them. Also, the rise of therapy speak and how therapy presents itself |
| 0:34.8 | on social media. So we're talking about like carousels, |
| 0:37.9 | where there's lots of different shareable options about like some sort of therapy, |
| 0:43.1 | something of self-care is related to this. |
| 0:45.5 | But then also like stuff like holding space and how that came into the popular lexicon. |
| 0:51.6 | We're also going to do an episode about running culture, which is weird and |
| 0:56.5 | exciting and annoying, and then specifically contemporary ideas of self-care. We're going to drill |
| 1:03.0 | down on that one. And wow, culture. Culture is in the name of all of these things. We're going to |
| 1:07.8 | have another culture episode on dad culture. And then one on |
| 1:12.1 | old movies that I am really excited about. We want to hear about your barriers to watching old |
| 1:16.5 | movies. And most specifically, we want to make specific recommendations for you based on movies |
| 1:23.2 | that you've loved in the past 20 years. So like you submit, okay, here are three of my favorite |
| 1:28.4 | movies from the last 20 years. And then my co-host and I, Margaret Willison, will come up with an |
| 1:34.7 | old movie that you will also love. So if any of these subjects spark some curiosity in you, |
| 1:40.3 | head to our Google forum at tiny URL.com slash culture study pod. And if none of these ideas are |
| 1:47.0 | appealing to you, or at least not appealing to you yet, you have to listen to the episode, |
| 1:50.7 | tell us what would be appealing. What should we do an episode on? You can use the same form |
