House of Barbrism

House of Barbrism is three queer podcasts in one: ADVENTURES IN GAYBYSITTING, CLOSET PRACTICE, and DOCUMENTA AND SON. From relationships to parenting to culture to sex, it's all in our house! ADVENTURES IN GAYBYSITTING (alternating Mondays), hosted by gay New York dad Documenta Barbrism and bi L.A. mom Shannon Corder, chronicles the highs and lows of coming out of the closet and having your first baby at the age of 40. CLOSET PRACTICE (alternating Mondays) is an opportunity for queers of all stripes to share their stories, whether they're in, out, or out-curious. In DOCUMENTA AND SON (every Thursday), newly out gay dad Documenta tries to mentor his newly out bi son Dingle Mary on the ins and outs of queer life, and occasionally even succeeds! Every week they play games, hang out, and discuss a different queer culture object. Remember, Barbrism begins at home!
