About this episode
The Yentas discuss their obsession with hockey smut and explore themes of sapphic stories and emotional intimacy.
It's just the Yentas this week, and we're spending an entire episode on our new obsession: HOCKEY SMUT. It's nothing but Heat Rivalry today, including our very own pitch for a religious sapphic version of Shane and Ilya. We Yenta about: - Why people pretend they’re over coming-out stories - Emotional intimacy as the true climax (queeeeeer) - Why sapphic stories never get the same cultural attention - The sapphic version of Heated Rivalry Sponsored by the Mandel Cultural Leadership Program: https://mandelinstitute.org/programs/cultural-leadership/cultural-leadership-application-faq/ **Side note, you'll notice that the video quality is weird. This was our first day shooting with our new upgraded cameras, but put them on the wrong setting! We promise it'll get better! xoxoxo ---------------------------------- Announcement!
