Creative Pursuits w/ Bailey Pope - Ep. 198

Author: Dyking Out - a Lesbian and LGBTQ Podcast for Everyone! August 24, 2021 Duration: 1:11:46
Comedian Bailey Pope is dyking out with us about how her day job and dream job have more in common than one might assume. Telling jokes on a stage to strangers isn't all that different than years of having a captive audience in a salon seat. Especially at some comedy shows. Bailey talks about the queerness of the hair industry, and how her queer and trans identities are received there vs. in comedy. Plus, learn why she won't date within either field, and how to barter for what you want. Also, Carolyn and Melody try their best to predict their gayest thing as they head out on vacation. Finally, we end with a listener question about "straight" friend with a tendency to "twerk" on her. -Get extra content EACH WEEK, Ad Free episodes, support the pod, and get to know other listeners by joining our Patreon community.

New York comedians Carolyn Bergier and Melody Kamali are at the mic for Dyking Out, a weekly space that feels like grabbing a drink with your funniest, most insightful queer friends. While the title proudly centers a lesbian perspective, the conversation and community built here are genuinely for everyone interested in LGBTQIA+ life. The format is deceptively simple: each episode, Carolyn and Melody bring on a special guest-be it a comedian, musician, actor, or even a personal crush-to dive into a specific topic relevant to the community. What unfolds is never just a dry discussion; it’s a lively, often hilarious, and deeply personal unpacking of pop culture, current events, sexuality, health, and the nuances of daily existence. You’ll hear authentic interviews that range from heartfelt to absurd, all filtered through a comedic lens that makes even complex subjects feel accessible and engaging. This isn’t about formal debates or polished takes. It’s about the specific joy and solidarity found in “dyking out” over shared experiences and new ideas. At its heart, this podcast operates on a simple, winking principle: having a great time while casually advancing the gay agenda. Tune in for the laughter, stay for the culture, and become part of the ongoing conversation.
