Rejection w/ Alysia Hush - Ep. 226

Rejection w/ Alysia Hush - Ep. 226

Author: Dyking Out - a Lesbian and LGBTQ Podcast for Everyone! March 8, 2022 Duration: 1:26:58
We hope comedian Alysia Hush felt the opposite of rejection while dyking out with us this week. Rejection is something we all face - some of us more than others. But how we deal with it makes all the difference. We talk about the differences between personal and professional rejection, how we bounce back, when we accept the L, and when to take it personally. We also talk about rejection in dating, including memorable embarrassing rejections. Plus, Melody's gayest thing surprises Carolyn, while Carolyn runs into celesbians at Stonewall. Finally, we end with a listener question from someone in an impossibly complicated and unexpected situation. -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.
