BAIT: a queerbaiting podcast
bait
An analysis and celebration of the best queerbait ships out there.
Request Special! Jarchie, Tomgreg, Les Mis, and Dead Poet’s Society
This is a bit of a different episode! Instead of covering one queerbait, we're touching on a few different ships that have been highly requested but that we wouldn't normally dedicate a full episode to, plus one special surprise ship at the end that may not be bait, and may never have been requested, but we just wanted to talk about it. This week's suggested pairing is the essay In Defense of Dead Poet's Society by Christopher Cantwell

We Were Wrong About Destiel
The audio quality is a little garbage this week, we're still adjusting to recording over Zoom! To kick of season 2, we're revisiting Destiel, and realizing just how much we didn't know about the greatest bait on the planet. Join us as we discuss fishing as queerbait, the canonical destiel child, and how insane Supernatural has gotten. Buckle up. It's a long one.  This week's suggested pairing is Maj's revamped destiel playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1cZSTM348PiY1YUlLdUULL?si=8Op3rdAzSCqdItD_FJlKgg
