A podcast from your local bisexual who literally can’t stop talking ? Bisexuals to the front - everyone is welcome ?? Queer-themed nonsense, tarot readings & a different guest every episode!
Dear Neighbour
We can put up a hell of a fight, and we can care for each other in that fight…
Welcome back to the fabulous scorpio queen Jane Claire Bradley whose debut novel will be coming out this week! Dear Neighbour celebrates chosen family, the ever necessary battle against austerity, and empathy between neighbours.
We also pull some majorrrr major arcana cards and talk about the beauty of pole dancing! What a treat!
"Five strangers. Four weeks. One letter that will change everything…
Dear Neighbour tells the story of Alice, a single mum living in Leeds, her next-door neighbour Bill, a widower still grieving his wife’s death a decade earlier, and the other residents of their street. It’s a novel about the power of community and found family, and the real definition of home. A love letter to the necessity of resilience, resistance and empathy."
Join Jane for a queer extravaganza of performances on Dear Neighbour's launch date, the 15th of June at Feel Good Club in Manchester! Tickets available.

Content Warnings/Trigger Warnings:
Bilemma 1: Threesomes, non monogamy, jealousy, sex, and open relationships.
Bilemma 2: Being “straight passing”, misgendering, biphobia, and exclusion in the queer community.
Bilemma 3: Dating/asking out a friend.
Bilemma 4: Having sex while drunk, regretting a sexual experience, virginity, consent, and sex.
Bilemma 5: Discussions of genitals/vulvas/vaginas, sexual health, transphobia, body shaming and sex, HRT, transitioning, body image issues, dysmorphia, bottom surgery, medical interventions, racism, and transphobia in the NHS.
This last question was sent in by a woman about her own relationship to her body/vagina/vulva and the bodies of other women, so there was a focus on women and body image but I definitely want to use more gender neutral language when talking about these issues, and I hope that the discussion was inclusive although we did focus on women.

Episode 9 - Queer Sex Ed 101: Safety First
Let’s talk about sex gaybies!
Following on from Episode 8, which was mostly complaints about the state of UK sex education, I thought it would be useful to speak to someone who actually knows what they’re talking about! This week my guest is local dyke and allotment owner Rosie, who works for Yorkshire MESMAC, an LGBT Sexual Health Charity.
Nearly 40 years on from the start of the AIDS crisis in 1981, we discuss HIV awareness, safer sex practices, and how to navigate sexual health screenings as a queer or trans person. In typical Taurus fashion, Rosie has a delightfully wholesome agenda & the tarot segment has a queer makeover!

Episode 8 - Don't have sex. Because you will get pregnant. And die.
It’s time we had “The Talk”... While the Netflix show Sex Education is beautiful/queer/amazing, unfortunately, the Sex Ed we received in School was severely lacking (and didn’t include Gillian Anderson in a silk robe).
My beautiful and smart sister Emily is back again to provide a scathing critique of the UK’s education system and how it failed us as young bisexuals. In the second half, we come up with some ideas on how to improve things - please note neither of us are qualified to do this. Also - Fuck Margaret Thatcher, it’s time to promote being gay.
Disclaimer: This episode is from the archives and took weeks to put together due to many technical fuck ups. The first half is actuality part of the first TBA episode! The audio is a bit crackly in certain sections because Skype loves to ruin our lives but please bear with us.

Abortion (8 mins)
Rape and sexual assault mention (40 mins)
