Welcome back to EDUGAYTION - the queer culture podcast that’s gay (or gay adjacent) over-sharing into microphones. We’re trialling a new “studio” (Owen’s living room), Jake is podcasting in rotating sunglasses thanks to a (allegedly not) pink-eye drama, and Owen has declared Halloween = Gay Christmas (aka Bitches’ Christmas). 🎃
This week we dive into why Halloween is the queer high holy day! From 1920s drag balls to 1950s Philly “Bitches’ Christmas” - and why cross-dressing, camp, and chaos still matter more than yet another shirtless vampire.
We also get into:
• The mystery of AMY 🚪- she’s everywhere and nowhere (legend says she’s still on the loose)
• Mango’s Halloween lewk and Jake’s “pimps & hoes” party report (fishnets, pearls, and massive bulges)
• Gay costume rundown: niche > basic (Oompa-Loompa from Glasgow? Poppers bottle? Daphne & Velma = lesbian flag realness)
• Jake’s costume crisis: hot vs. haha, cross-dressing and charity-shop solutions!
• Herstory lesson: how Halloween let queer folks bend gender when the law said no
• Strictly corner: Vicky Pattison’s “Fight For This Love,” Harry Styles fits, and our ill-advised Ariana high-note challenge 🎧 HEADPHONE USER WARNING !! SCREECHING CATS !!
• LADYBIRDS ARE SPREADING STD’S 🐞& we need to get them teeny tiny PrEP.
• AI afterlife: Suzanne Somers’ widower makes an AI clone - is it cute or are we concerned?
• Halloween 2025 costume inspo! Including, but not limited to; Sticky Vicky, Mystic Meg, Louvre jewel thief, Toy Story alien, and more!
💅 NSFW? A touch. A smidge. A sprinkle.
