COL683: Trans Bear Listener 2

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys are joined by BuilTABear, another trans listener who, after hearing COL514, shared his feedback and brought some perspective that may not have been touched on at that time 4 years ago. The cubs revisit the topic of trans identity and the bear community while also getting to learn more about BuilTABear’s upcoming projects regarding the older trans community.

Trans Bear Listener 2

In the summer of 2019, we did an interview with listener Trans Bear, or T-bear, to discuss previous episodes where we here and there touched on transness in the broader bear community. In 15 years of the podcast, our understanding of being trans has evolved. True to our nature, we’re excited to come back to this topic with another listener that reached out to us with feedback on episode COL514 from almost 4 years ago amongst others. Thank you BuilTABear for joining us!

COL544: The Return of Bathhouses?

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys make a splish-splash as they talk about bathhouses. With decades old laws in San Francisco soon to be removed, the cubs discuss the relevance of bathhouses and whether there is still a necessity for them in today’s modern culture, especially with apps and PrEP.

Show Topic

The Return of Bathhouses? – San Francisco is considering making bathhouses legal once again, a quarter century later. We’ve come a long way from the height of the AIDS epidemic when they were outlawed in 1984. Has PrEP created this turning point for MSM?
