Hi all, yesterday, the IBWTR team was having brunch, and we were like hmm I wonder what we should record for the Patreon for December? And then we realized, hey, now that we have the Patreon we can just ask you amazing folks! So here are a few ideas we've been batting around and for which we have notes and research (mostly) done -- we'd love to see what folks prefer.

[Oh, and the reason the second part of our "Precious Bodily Fluids" episode isn't on here is the following: we decided that when we promised you two Patreon eps a month, we really meant two full eps on individual topics, not parts of an episode. So we'll be releasing Part II this Friday as a November bonus.]

Anyway, here are some of the ideas we're interested in for December! Thank you so much for helping us decide!

-Moira and Adrian

These topics are excellent

Paul Crider

I'm going back to my principled nonvoter days. These all seem fine! I don't know why Law & Order is relevant, but I assume you have a reason that I'll learn all about!

Karen Cox

I picked ‘The George Circie’ because I don’t know what that even is.

Kristi Yingling

I'll listen to you two talk about anything but I'd love your take on copaganda! Or whatever direction you were thinking for L&O.

Cerulean

i have been watching law and order svu to distract myself from despair about current events (or else i will genuinely have a crisis). truly can’t wait for my problematic fave to get torn apart lmao 🤣

Cerulean

also would love to learn more about act up!

Mary Green

Same. Did a quick google and now I want to know more

Mary Green

I’ve been off L&O since I learned what “copaganda” was, but I loved both SVU and Original Recipe for many years and I’m interested in your takes

Austin Kerr

My students know how much I despise Phyllis Schlafly that whenever another teacher mentions her in other social studies class they allllways have to tell me lol! I‘m constantly enjoying fresh looks and takes on her!

James Talley

Go for the If Books Could Kill hubris and do all of the above as an "It's all one book" kinda take!

Emily Furlich

Schlafly deserves a main feed episode

In Bed With the Right

We were thinking that too! Especially because this one would be a kind of new format for us: an archival deep dive!

Edith

These are all awesome topics, hope they all get made eventually! The Tár episode seems not to be a favourite but I'd really love an episode on it and movie analysis episodes generally, always enjoyed Adrian's movie opinions on the Feminist Present.

Elias

I think this goes for Roy Cohn too?!

Emily Furlich

Yeah, I think that’s right, too

Kathleen’s a soberqueerdoe

A gendered lens/analysis on ACT UP (& HIV/AIDS more broadly) would be really cool to hear from you both. Just off the top of my head you could talk about: 1) that famous poster/tshirt “women don’t get AIDS, they just die from it” 2) the gay transsexual man Lou Sullivan’s famous quote about how he took a perverse pleasure in calling up all the gender clinics who had previously rejected him for not being a straight man to inform them that “while you told me it wouldn’t be possible to live as a gay man, it looks like I’m going to die as one”

Also, please send me the necessary information about the Discord channel. My email address is cox dot karen 6 @gmail.

More on German Idealism for the win? Would love to hear your take on the seemingly trending Hegelian-Lacanianisn and its interface with gender

panoptigoth

If you do tar, I feel like either Aubrey or Michael need to come over for a visit!

Julia

I think discussing how the medical establishment reinforced binary, conservative gender norms from the 70s-90s in gender affirming care would be so interesting to hear your take on
