    Strange Bedfellows + An Offer from Longview

    26/03/2026 | 42 mins.
    The episode you’re about to hear is the first in a new series from our friends at Longview Investigations, the podcast company run by Matt Boll and Andy Mills, both familiar voices if you’ve been listening to our show for a while.
    The series is called Strange Bedfellows, and when Andy first asked if we’d be interested in sharing it with our listeners, I said absolutely not because I’m still bitter that the Moose likes Andy better than me and because every time we drop something new into the feed, at least a couple of you complain and then Jesse starts crying and sweating and it’s this whole thing.
    But after hearing the first episode, I changed my mind.
    Strange Bedfellows is exactly the kind of thing Blocked and Reported listeners will be into. It’s about how LGB became LGBTQ, what brought that sometimes uneasy coalition together, and why it now seems to be coming apart.
    The series is hosted by Ben Kawaller (also a BAR alum), and it’s smart, funny, and genuinely thought-provoking.
    And here’s the bonus offer: Andy and Matt have generously offered three months free of Longview’s membership program for our Primo subscribers. If you take them up on that and subscribe now, you’ll get access to the full three-part series before it’s released publicly.
    This offer is only available to Primos and the link to join is right…
