with ALLY BEARDSLEY

and BABETTE THOMAS

A podcast about gender…

…and a whole lot more.

Gender Spiral is an award-winning podcast about being a varied, ever-changing human in a world built around categories.

Through interviews with trans and queer guests -the experts on reinvention and evolution- hosts Ally Beardsley (Dropout) and Babette Thomas (Yale University) investigate how we as humans relate to, reject, and reimagine the boxes society puts us in.

The hosts

Babette Thomas is a radio producer, artist and researcher who thinks about how media can be used to tell Black stories and the stories of marginalized people more broadly. They're excited for Gender Spiral to be a hub of gender questions, thoughts and feelings!

Ally Beardsley is a comedy writer who spent 10 years begging God to be straight while surrounded by dirt biking Christian hotties. They are fascinated by queer people's hard-won gender expression and all the care poured into those decisions.
