Hello VICE Magazine Podcast listeners! It's true we've gone dark for a while, but we're really excited to introduce you to our newest VICE podcast, Queerly Beloved.

Queerly Beloved ​is a new podcast series from Broadly. Co-hosted by Broadly editor Sarah Burke and Fran Tirado of the popular queer podcast Food 4 Thot, it’s a multifaceted portrait of LGBTQ chosen family—the people who help us figure out who we are and inspire us to live as our most authentic selves. In a world obsessed with significant others, Queerly Beloved focuses on the unconventional, seemingly insignificant relationships that actually end up shaping us most.

Here's the first episode, "The Past Lovers." For the full season, sure to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.

The VICE Magazine Podcast is your definitive guide to enlightening information. We’re in the middle of celebrating the release of our 11th annual Fiction Issue. Inside the magazine, we curated a special subsection of personal stories about losing your temper. Akhil Sharma wrote about a bully, Walter Kirn wrote about a rooster, and David Shields and Allen Pearl also participated. But today we’re highlighting “Rage Blackouts,” Sadie Stein’s personal essay from the section.

In Stein’s essay, she discusses how small annoying incidents throughout the day (“the whole store-full of old ladies who banged their carts into me at Zabars”) will piss her off, but she smile’s through the ordeal, holding it all in. “Then it all comes out at night” in extreme dreams, which includes shouting expletives and punching in her sleep, usually while her husband sleeps next to her (wielding heavy-duty earplugs).

Stein stopped by the office to chat about how she deals with her “rage blackouts”—sleeping on airplanes is out of the question—her writing process, and more.
