About

The Heart is back after a two-year hiatus with a new slate of hosts that the original show creator Kaitlin Prest calls “the next generation of radical queers.” The podcast’s already-broad purview, which includes lesbian separatism and radical politics, has expanded even further, letting listeners in on conversations that are often relegated to private or fringe places. The “Race Traitor” series diagrams the uncomfortable historical context that’s ever present between Black and white intimate partners. The “Divesting from People Pleasing” series examines how the anxiety of navigating white spaces as a Black woman manifests in the body. The “One” series considers the aches of loneliness and somehow reassures you that being alone is far from the worst thing to be, even during a pandemic. The Heart takes a self-aware, members-only approach to its subjects, and even if you aren’t invited to join the club, you’ll still benefit from eavesdropping.
