The Substance (Abuse)

After half a year being avoidant (and avoiding responsibility), Douche Station honeys come back with EP 10 : THIS IS NOT A PIPE lead by your favorite archive historian Sarnt (who remembers everything before Covid but not after). This EP we also feature special guest Mihu, the iconic otter organizer of the infamous queer party Riot and very helpful collective Queer Mama.We celebrate Berlin's oldest gay neighbourhood: Schöneberg on the occasion of this (shameful) month of CSD #csdberlin . This EP we bring you on bar/dïćk hopping on varieties from Tom’s (FOMO if you just moved here) , Bulls (yas mama) , Hafen , Prinzknecht , Cafes and bushes. We say hi to the West Berlin gays, Eastern exclusivity, your Romanian "friends", shame, racism and ask: what is left of the so-called glory days and my self-respect?Definitely this EP brings you: disappointment premium Featuring track by Riot's current resident Majdolen

WE’VE BEEN SNUBBED. While Demi Moore is basking in Oscar fame for The Substance, the Academy has shamefully overlooked Berlin’s weekly commitment to substances, abuse, and desperate attempts at sobriety. So as Berlin’s unofficial entry for Best Documentary (collapse live on camera), we teamed up with our friend and special guest Tommy, who helps us unpack how substances and sobriety allow us to connect, disconnect and experience our very own takes on body horror.

You can’t spell community without cum! Well, you could, but why would you want to? Since brat summer is officially over, our hosts enter their mindful era to discuss asexuality in the Berlin scene and what really remains of the queer community once you take away substances and hooking up. To support their cum to Jesus moment, they have enlisted the help of Berlin’s sweatiest woman Nicki Black, resident DJ at the Berlin-based label and collective Subverted.

Every villain needs an origin story, and ours is finally here: we are celebrating our 1-year anniversary by landing exactly at where our idea (without consent) for our chaotic project began: the douche station at WHOLE festival. EP7 WHOLE IS BURNING captures our (without consent, still) participation at the festival this year 2024 as voyeurs to the recent G-collapses, Flinta* mafias, bomb threat, public security, darkroom hot takes, Whole webforum, reddit, and better ideas of how to have sëx̌ in public Because we are LGBTQIA+ family (without consent) * For listeners outside Germany, Flinta term refers to Female Lesbian Intersex Nonbinary Trans Agender (anything but Cisman)

Locals only!!! This week we are making an exception to welcome fisting extraordinaire Big Butt Geek (@thebigbuttgeek) of Such FFun to talk about cruise ship plumbing, ins and outs for 2024 and fisting as an antipatriarchal practice.

Sisters before misters: These two and half FLINTA* are back from the mother zone to talk about how to (not) balance queer relationships, intimacy and hooking up. As a very special treat, they are joined by Berlin drag royalty, Lawunda Richardson, who talks about experiencing her very own version of the drag curse.

You host or travel? Our three residency advisors are discussing the ins and outs of Berlin’s housing crisis: from finding the perfect flat for chills to hooking up in the park, because during times of gentrification any hole is a goal.

This week we're going deep. Or wide? Your hosts are back to anal: Alex demystifies what happens on a porn set, we are learning to love our busted hole and we will once and for all settle, who loves a rosebud and who is a true prolapse queen.

Not only did someone SHIT last Whole Festival but also shared that shit with us all. Have you heard of the "someone clogged the douche station" story? Who is this person? How did it happen? Can the act of sh__ting in (Europe's only) queer summer festival be political? Who has Lotronex or med against IBS? - send us your stories via writing or sending voice messages, anonymity guaranteed.

This podcast works interactively. Three hosts of yours will have a discussion, while you all can participate by submitting your stories via writing or voice messages - which we will play out loud (anonymously!) and comment on. The goal is to create comedic, funny conversation rather than anything "serious" or "political". There will be extra guests invited in later episodes, featuring your favourite Berlin partygirls.
