About Attitudes!
Attitudes! is a political comedy podcast hosted by Erin Gibson and Bryan Safi. Every week we cover the news, LGBTQ+ issues, gender politics, internet chaos, niche cultural obsessions, and whatever deeply unnecessary discourse has broken everyone's brain this time.
Think of it as a place to stay informed without becoming unbearable.
Or at least less unbearable.
The news is exhausting. Ignoring it isn't really an option.
We started Attitudes! because we wanted a place where people could engage with politics, culture, and the increasingly cursed internet without feeling like they were trapped inside a cable news panel.
We believe information matters. We believe community matters. We believe laughing at something doesn't mean taking it less seriously.
Every week we bring our decades of experience in comedy, media, television, advocacy, and professional overthinking to conversations about the stories shaping our lives.
- Sometimes that means discussing legislation targeting LGBTQ+ people.
- Sometimes it means spending twenty minutes unpacking a Facebook Marketplace listing that feels spiritually dangerous.
Both are important.
What You'll Find Here
News
Political stories, legislation, activism, LGBTQ+ issues, and the people trying to make the world slightly less terrible.
Culture
Internet trends, media, celebrity nonsense, discourse, and the increasingly blurry line between journalism and group therapy.
Community
Live events, Discord discussions, bonus episodes, and thousands of listeners who are somehow having the exact same weird experience as you.
Chaos
Self-explanatory.

"They have that thing that is often such a big part of making a good podcast: a shared comedic language of cajoling and teasing that the listener is invited to feel part of.”
"The perfect combination of silly, intelligent, cynical and charming."
"I was laughing so hard I thought it was too dangerous to be driving at the same time."
"There could not be a better time to have a platform to speak positively about women’s and gay rights."
"Funnier and raunchier than Bill Maher"
"Brings us to camp and lets us stay there"
Why Membership?
We're building something we own.
That means no chasing algorithms. No trying to optimize ourselves into oblivion. No wondering whether a platform suddenly changed the rules while we were asleep.
Just independent media supported by a community that believes political engagement, queer joy, cultural criticism, and extremely specific opinions about grocery stores can coexist.
The world is still collapsing.
Come hang out!
