 Beats | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:34:31

Beats have been a not-so-safe space for gay people to meet others and explore their sexual desires, especially back when homosexuality was literally in the shadows. Leni and Brendy explore the horrific way cruisers were teated in Australia on the beaches of Sydney, how beats have evolved to include sex-on-premises clubs and virtual apps, and the late George Michael as our unashamed poster boy for beats.

 Gold Star | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:27:49

A 'gold star' is traditionally used to recognise outstanding merit, but for some queer people its a self-identifying term for exclusively having sex with people of the same gender. Leni (bronze baby) and Brendy (confirmed bachelor) break down it's origin by way of Tila Tequila, Andy Cohen and try to work out how common it is for gaybies to be 'pure'.
