The science of the penis

Robert Lamb and Julie Douglas, of the Stuff to Blow Your Mind podcast, recently squirted out a two-part series on the penis.

But they didn't stop at humans, who, by the way, have the largest members in regard to body proportion, thank you very much. From scary two-headed monsters to freaky detachable insect schlongs, these episodes are both insightful and frightening. 

Unfortunately, the How Stuff Works podcasts don't offer the ability to embed episodes, so if you're engorged with interest, you can listen to both parts of "The Penis Episode" via their iTunes page

RuPaul on Girl on Guy

If you are going through a Drag Race withdrawal and are jonesing for a weekly fix of the fabulous RuPaul, give a listen to this sincere interview Mr Charles gave on Aisha Tyler's podcast, Girl on Guy

Now Tyler isn't gay, but she is definitely a queer ally. You may know Tyler as Charlie on Friends or as the voice of kickass secret agent Lana Kane on the animated series Archer

In this interview, Tyler gets RuPaul to open up about everything from his drag beginnings, to his entertainment business lows, to being told he was different before he knew what different was.

Drag Race returns with its first All Stars season in October. Read more about the upcoming season on Xtra's Toronto Diary blog

Wildrose leader pandering or pro-gay? Listen to the podcast interview

For the first time, the leader of Alberta's Wildrose party, Danielle Smith, has spoken out against homophobic comments made by a former Wildrose candidate.

In a 2011 blog post, pastor Allan Hunsperger wrote that being gay is a choice, public schools were immoral for protecting gay pupils, and all queers would burn in a lake of fire.

"We have a lot of people [in Alberta] with fairly conservative values who should be allowed to practise their religion," Smith said during an interview on the queer women's podcast called I Dig Your Girlfriend.

"If you want to seek public life, if you want to be a politician, you have to decide what hat you are going to wear. You have to decide that if you are going to be a public official that you will do so in a way that allows you to represent every single one of your constituents."  

While Smith's stance should be applauded, are these the words of a queer ally or simply someone trying to sway queer voters?

Listen to Smith's full interview on I Dig Your Girlfriend -- where she also discusses her province's stance on funding gender reassignment surgery, same-sex marriage and abortion -- below and decide for yourself.
