About

“That hiatus felt really long. It felt like a decade, right?” — Alice Pieszecki It’s finally here! This episode we look ahead at The L Word: Generation Q. No spoilers, we promise! We talk about what’s changed for queer women and trans people in politics and visibility in the 10 years since the original series wrapped in 2009. We share our hopes for Generation Q: Better trans representation! More racial diversity! Lots of queer drama! We offer our first impressions on the new series and get to know the new characters, Dani, Sophie, Finley and Micah. We pour one out for the Betty theme song and give love to the Gen Q music supervisor for Lizzo and Le Tigre. We plan to vote for Bette Porter, we want to be guests on Alice’s talk show and we still have concerns about Shane’s hair.Episode notes and extras:The L Word: Generation QJennifer Beals in New York magazine on The L Word: Generation QGLAAD’s annual report on Where We Are On TV“Brother” by The OrganShane and Carmen have sex on the set of The Organ video shootFeaturing: Rachel Giese @rachelagieseErica Lenti @ericalentiEternity Martis @eternitymartisMichelle Turingan @chelleturinganSpecial guest: Katie Sketch @KatieSketchBandProducer and editor: Corey Misquita @coreymisquitaSenior producer: Rachel Matlow @rachelmatlowExecutive producer: Rachel GieseMusic: KidKulit
