From Lighter to More (S1E1)
2026/11/04
In this episode, Tiana and Elinor begin their deep dive excavation and analysis of Heated Rivalry with the question of how race and racism(s) show up in and around the show, and look at the progression from Shane and Ilya's first meeting, through the MLH draft, to those lingering finger brushes on that water bottle, with all of their subtext. Anybody else feeling thirsty?

Let's GUSH Over Heated Rivalry!!!
2026/10/24
The Inaugural Episode of our wild Unofficial Heated Rivalry Deep Dive Podcast!
Come meet your hosts, Tiana and Elinor, as they talk about what brought them to Heated Rivalry, and encourage you to watch the show (if you haven’t already!).
They get into what Heated Rivalry is about, both on and under the surface, and its connection with fandom right from its genesis. They talk about the show’s casting, backing, and storytelling, how important it is that the queerness of the story was never suppressed, queer representation in media, biphobia and bisexual erasure, and yes, even the actual plot of the show!
So settle in for a juicy discussion where the sex is, in fact, the plot, and there is endless space for queer joy.
