Dismantling Women's and Gender Studies Studies, Queer Literature on the Rise, Haircuts and Catherine O'Hara
Thu Feb 05 2026
This week Bryan has an interesting experience getting a haircut from the same man who originated "The Bryan" during his childhood, and Erin picks up a part time gig at her friend's salon. Bryan discusses the rise in popularity of queer literature, and how demand for titles like Heated Rivalry and Box Hill are leading to increased access and readership at public libraries. Erin tells us how Texas A&M is back in the news this week for dismantling its entire Women's and Gender Studies program after its board changed the syllabus for hundreds of classes and how they're trying to justify their censorship.
