About this listen

Welcome to the museum of Straight Culture. Heterosexuality is famously at risk of extinction. So to make sure the greatest achievements of the Straights are not lost forever, comedian Joe Sutherland has opened The Hetropolitan Museum of Art and Culture, aka The Het.


Each episode, museum curator Joe invites a brilliant LGBTQIA+ guest to nominate two pieces of straight culture that they want to preserve in the museum. Joe then decides which of artefact will be accepted. And of course, the winning item is honoured with its very own Het Gala reception.


Expect deep dives on some seriously niche stuff with some of the funniest queer guests from the worlds of comedy, TV, and internet culture.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • Sophie Duker: Big girl clothes and romantic babies | The Het, museum of Straight Culture
    Nov 11 2025

    Welcome to The Het, the only museum of Straight Culture — curated by comedian Joe Sutherland (Roast Battle, Hypothetical).

    In this episode, Joe is joined by champion of Taskmaster and former roasting opponent, Sophie Duker.


    This week they work it out on the remix to consider two precious artefacts from the endangered world of heterosexuality:


    • Exhibit A: ‘Boyfriend’ clothing
    • Exhibit B: ‘Rizzed up babies’ i.e pretending babies have girlfriends, boyfriends etc.


    But due to government cuts to the arts and heritage sector, only one can be saved. Which will make it into the esteemed collection of The Hetropolitan Museum of Art and Culture?


    Plus: The Houdini museum, twinning couples and disturbing ways to deter burglars.
