From Headgum:
Having been described by the press as “occasionally hard-to-follow,” “as chaotic as they are iconic,” and “going through it,” the band MUNA started Gayotic with the hope of providing not only more income, but also rare insight into the behavior of queers outside of the month of June.
Join Katie Gavin, Naomi McPherson and Josette Maskin along with their special guests on Gayotic as they gab about their personal lives, music, what they like to eat, the TV they watch, intergenerational trauma, and of course their search for answers in the case of a missing girl.
Guests include:
- queer legends Tegan & Sara
- Saddest Factory President and indie darling Phoebe Bridgers
- Lucy Dacus from boygenius
- Saturday Night Live’s Bowen Yang

High School with Tegan and Sara (Part 1):
All rise for gay church: it’s the season two premiere of Gayotic!!!! We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than by having an epic two-parter with our parents, Tegan and Sara. In this episode, we talk sharing hotel rooms during tour, secret high school girlfriends, feeling like the Phantom of the Opera, and, of course, our therapists and whether or not we’re all over-therapized (which, probably, yes).
Gay Gay, Horny Horny, Cigarettes with Lucy Dacus
The title pretty much says it all?? The band is joined by the legend that is Lucy Dacus (pronounced, Daytime Kiss-kiss if you were wondering) to talk about journaling, lying to your journal to make yourself feel better, transcribing your journal as a way to check in with your past self, throwing away your journal as a way of not ever dealing with your past self, and other stuff that comes up when you’re disciplined about getting your pages in every day. This one’s for all the iLesbians out there.
Relentless Jackhammer with Phoebe Bridgers
Our special guest this week: our friend (and boss), Phoebe Bridgers. Listen along as we process the sexual education misconceptions we had growing up, our intrusive thoughts of the day, and the nuances of collaborative songwriting.
