We're here to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the classic movie, Dazed and Confused (directed by Richard Linklater) and to dig into the film's impact on North America's widespread cannabis use and media representation alongside Jenny Blaze of the podcast, Bravo & Blaze.

High Low Brow is back for Season 3 with a new co-host, River Gilbert. Listen to the first 30-minute intro episode, where they discuss trans rights, the futch scale, board games, and more.

Well, faithful listeners, it's that time again ⁠— the end of the season. You have been on such an incredible second-season journey with us. We brought on our brand new host Ameema! We tried out a new show format! We had on some of our fave guests (to date) and broke some of our listening records. And that was all thanks to you!

Media featuring cops has been a staple of North American film and television culture. Heck, who didn't grow up watching Law and Order on A&E? However, during the George Floyd protests, copaganda was identified as a widespread tactic of the police and media. For this week's episode, we have invited Reina Sultan, a Lebanese-American Muslim freelance journalist and one of the co-creator of 8 to Abolition to chat about what the hell is copaganda and how we can be more critical of the media we consume.

Throughout the pandemic, many people used memes to cope with the world's heaviness, as they're an undeniably fun way to express one's emotions and feelings. But they are also a great way to connect with others in so many things, including pop culture, reactions, and the news. ✨So for this week's episode, we decided to sit down and dig into memes as a love language and we invited Thea D'souza from the wildly popular Instagram account @YourMomsAreWatching to chat with us. Her account uses a mixture of humorous memes, serious analysis, and personal stories to analyze the Bravoverse, so tune in!

This week's episode focuses on why millennials (specifically queer millennials) are so obsessed with astrology. We decided to invite to High Low Brow one of our favourite writers and astrologers, Jeanna Kadlec. The creator of the newsletter, Astrology for Writers, and author of the upcoming novel, Heretic (to be released in October 2022) - we chat with Kadlec about astrology as a form of social, cultural currency in the queer community.

June is Pride Month – a chance for the LGBTQ+ community to celebrate the progress that's been made. For our very first Pride-related episode, we're exploring how corporations prioritize profit over the LGBTQ+ community in our exploring Rainbow Capitalism with Toronto-based sober trans journalist Niko Stratis.

The summer is here and things are starting to get hot 💦 For our seventh episode of the season, we were so happy to chat with Toronto-based writer, performer, and sex worker advocate Andrea Werhun about the art of thirst traps. These sexually suggestive selfies are posted on social media by celebs and everyday folks to attract attention.

Not only has another two weeks gone by (so quick!) but we're happy to be celebrating our 1 year anniversary of podcasting! 🥳 For our sixth episode of the season (and our mid-way point of season two), we're happy to bring on two guests we've been looking forward to all season: Natalie Franklin of everyone's favourite Instagram parody account, Nori's Black Book. But if we were getting into who is behind the curtain of these parody accounts and making a living from living and having a blast living the life of these "celebs", we had to ask the one and only Jordan Ross Meyers behind the Twitter handles of Donn Gunvalson and Lee Radziwill and co-host of the Pretty Corrupt podcast.

Oh hi, we're so happy to see you're back! We are dropping episode 5 of S2 today, and it's a fun one! For this week's episode, we are exploring the gay history of wrestling and how it's really a form of athletic storytelling or heck, performance art akin to drag. To take us through the history and make a case for why this matters, Nova-Scotia-based winner of Masterchef Canada and pro wrestler Jennifer E. Crawford talks us through everything and shares with us their story of how they developed Moon Miss, their wrestling persona.

We're back for our fourth full-length episode of S2! For this week's episode, we get into one of the hottest trends of 2021: parasocial relationships with arts and culture journalist Sadaf Ahsan. No matter where you go on the Internet, it's all everyone is talking about. From the social and entertainment-kind, intense-personal, and borderline-pathological.

We're back for our third full-length episode of S2! For our very first Low Brow Takes on High Brow Culture takedown episode, Ama and Ameema have invited on former co-host and fellow podcaster from the show We Really Like Her, Danita Steinberg to discuss all things Oscars 2022.

In the second full-length episode of season two, Ama & Ameema invite the iconic writer/director of LGBTQ+ reality shows such as Hot Haus and Slag Wars, our favourite sex-positive daddy (and soon to be yours!) Topher Cusumano.

In the first full-length episode of season two, Ama & Ameema invite educator and YA author Tanya Boteju on to the show to chat with them about a topic that has been bothering the two of them for a while: why society seems to enjoy mocking teen girls and young women for their interests.

After a nearly four-month hiatus, we're back and so excited for season two! And trust us: it’s going to be bigger, and better than ever! Plus, we have a brand new co-host!!! Say hello to the wonderful and talented Ameema Saeed.
