PODCAST

StraightioLab

Big Money Players Network and iHeartPodcasts

StraightioLab is an intellectual podcast where smart comedians George Civeris and Sam Taggart unpack the rich, multi-colored tapestry of straight culture. In each episode, George and Sam are joined by a guest to hold a MIRROR to society and finally get to the BOTTOM of mysterious and perverse topics such as college fraternities, gender reveal parties, the military, themed restaurants, and the concept of "the holidays." Scared? Good.

"Prom" w/ Drew Anderson

StraightioLab ·

2020/08/18

On this week's StraightioLab, George and Sam welcome Brooklyn-based sweetheart Drew Anderson on to unpack prom and, in a greater sense, what it was like to listen to music in 2004. This episode overcomes so much (hand washing in the middle of recording, boring anecdotes) and emerges stronger than ever (attacks the Slate Culture Gabfest, tries to put all gay couples into a box of either being a Portia or Ellen). There's nothing that can't be overcome...on the podcast that is named StraightioLab
