Historical HomosWho Is The Motherf*cking Supreme (Court)?Bash and Donal are back together again! This week we're leaving behind ancient sugar daddies to look at some of the gayest moments in the Supreme Court's history. From antisodomy laws to gay marriage – and now state-sanctioned discrimination, oh my! – the Court has had a long and bizarre history of interfering with LGBTQ+ rights. But all is not lost. The motherf*cking Supremes work in mysterious, not always terrible ways. (Sometimes they even actually do their jobs!) It's our responsibility to know what they're up to and what has changed over the past 60 years of queer liberation. Plus, we soun...

Historical HomosWas Joan of Arc Nonbinary? (Or Just A Virgin)Joan of Arc has an impressive CV: French it girl, saint, military genius (kind of?), 15th century celebrity (chic!), burned at the stake (careful, c'est chaud!), and potentially...nonbinary? Bash returns to his altar boy days to unravel the never-not-compelling, extremely unbelievable story of Joan, the Maiden of Orléans. As always, we disagree with almost everything everyone's ever said, and find an annoying way of positioning our opinion as fact, because that's what it is. #Trump2024. In summary: if you care about medieval white women AT ALL, click play.Written and Hosted by BashE...

Historical HomosDo Ask, Do Tell: An Army of Ancient Greek BoyfriendsAn ancient Greek army of...boyfriends?! You may have heard tell of it somewhere in your gay little zines and Tik Toks, but do you know the full story? Join Bash for a bonus episode as he dives *deep* into the Sacred Band of Thebes – if only, sigh – an ancient Greek military experiment that led one city-state to total domination over her apparently-not-gay-enough neighbors. That is, until their utter annihilation at the hands of a notorious, warmongering, bisexual megalomaniac (guess who!). Written and hosted by Bash. Executive Produced by Zachary Quinto. Edited by Alex Toskas.

We dive deep into her affair with Vita Sackville-West, leading London lesbian of her day, and relive the parties thrown by the Bloomsbury Set, a group of young Modernists who continued the British tradition of plumbing the nation's bottomless depths of homosexuality.

Trivial TrialsEpisode 36 - Dog People versus Jack's Hate CrimePucker up! The Trivial Trial is in session once more, with Raghu taking to the role of judge like a duck to water, or Jack to the idea of an attack on one of his best friends. Sebastian debuts Sappho, who will soon be his replacement in the Very Real Court, just as soon as she finishes law school. And if you are listening to this on Spotify, we think (?) you can now vote on who you think deserves to win the episode?
2023-02-2233 minTrivial TrialsEpisode 35 - Gay Speed Dating versus Roy KeaneAnd so, another episode dawns upon us. Jack does the worst job of all time being a judge, Sebastian regales us with a delightful tale about something or other, and Raghu predicts the World Cup winners.
2023-02-0842 minTrivial TrialsEpisode 34 - Profane Munchkin versus Divorced ArchitectAKA The Spicy Butter Waffle Episode. Sebastian returns to his rightful place as court judge, sniffing out justice to his heart's content. Raghu's velvety tones take on a lactose quality, while Jack Vaa is actually from, like, Denmark? In case you didn't know?
2023-01-2536 minTrivial TrialsEpisode 33 - The Return of the Trivial TrialWith new and improved microphones, and outdated and degrading perceptions of life, the Boys are Back for Season 4 of the best barely listened to podcast of all time. With Raghu acting as a cutting judge, Jack freaks out about his hair and Sebastian throws one of his slaves under the bus. Some things never change.

Trivial TrialsEpisode 32 - The Queen versus Tony Gardner versus BotwRecorded August 2019. Which is why all the references are from a distant era, pre-Brexit, when Corona was just the only beer you put a lime into for some unknown reason. Jack's Dad and actor Tony Gardner joins us for this episode, in what could potentially be a career-defining role. In fact, after listening back to this, we are convinced this will have massive implications for his career. Raghu discusses the Royal Family (#EatTheRich), Jack commits Patricide and Tony discovers the dangers of reading through Urban Dictionary in a pub whilst waiting to come to the recording... Oh boy.
2020-03-1730 minTrivial TrialsEpisode 31 - Double Decker Sonnets versus Greta Thunberg's EnemiesIn this weeks jaunt, Sonnet-composing Sebastian cannot stop bloodcurdlingly laughing at describing the death of his enemies, Article-Reading Raghu reads an article and Beautiful-Face-Haver Jack does very little apart from keeping this ship afloat as usual.

In our THIRTIETH episode (look how far we have come, look what we have ACHIEVED), we invite Dame Helen Mirren or Judy Dench or whatever into the studio to talk about Library Creatures, then Raghu goes on another semi-comprehensible rant about the sun before Jack whacks out his strings and makes you listen to him for 4 minutes straight because he can do what he wants.

This week we discuss very important things like how to punish pregnant women and how being told to not watch sports is like farting in a room full of people. And if that isn't new and improved then I don't know what is.
Jack embodies a new character because character and prop comedy are two noble arts, Raghu writes a story (new and improved) and Sebastian returns as the Gay Judge.

Sebastian has a wet dream as his fat phobia is allowed to flourish freely in this week's ep. (He's only this way because he was fat when he was younger-- swipe right on his Facebook profile 5 times and you'll see).
Raghu is so unwell that you have a danger of becoming infected just by listening to this recording.
Jack is fantastic as ever, no-one ever reads the episode description, especially not Sebastian and Raghu so yeah, Jack is wonderful, fantastic and the brains behind this operation. And beautiful.

Trivial TrialsEpisode 16 - Your Mum versus Shaquille O'NealSebastian has really decided to fulfil his New Years' resolution of more conflict not less, and has attacked the least deserving Trivial Criminal we've ever had. This is probably the last episode of the podcast... Jack's undoubted physical stature gets ignored. Raghu takes too long to deliberate over the easiest decision ever made by a judge on this podcast, or in the history of any legal thing ever.

In other words, the absolute perfect story for this podcast. In detailing a story about his "sweet ass tattoo" (check the insta: butterflies_on_the_wheel), Jack humiliates a work colleague and potentially destroys a nascent friendship in his attempts to make strangers laugh.

They will conclude by proposing a fitting punishment to the moderator, who will then decide who has presented the most convincing case, and the winner will have the right to compete again in the next podcast.
