What's Age Got To Do With It?!

February 10, 2023 20:00 - 48 minutes - 33 MB

Join us while we discuss what has been on our minds about aging--gracefully or not--as a part of the LGBTQIA+ community. We dive into what it's like to be the generation behind one that was lost so effectively, to not have models to look towards, and why it's so important to think about these issues. Don't worry-- we still can't remember our full title or where we put our glasses...but this time let's see what age has to do with it.

Freedom 2021

July 05, 2021 19:00 - 1 hour - 46.7 MB

It's a 4th of July inspired episode!  What does freedom mean to you?  Most of us have a feeling  and/or assumption about Freedom based on our life experiences (and where we live).  Is there one way to experience or define Freedom?  Where does your Freedom begin and/or end and is it based on someone else perception of their Freedom?

April 05, 2021 20:00 - 44 minutes - 30.9 MB

Let's face it, we have all tried to be the "best," thinking it was the only way to be accepted.  When does carrying that burden become too much and what happens when we "stop playing the game"?

Love is an open door policy

February 15, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 45.2 MB

Based on listener feedback, this episode is a rough draft of how you can be a better ally for those in your life.  The request was for classroom support, but it can apply to everyone. In short, how can we all lift each other up and show support in ways that maybe we aren't doing now? Let's face it, no matter where we are in the alphabet, it's always a good idea to make sure we are doing what we can to be supportive to others, especially when they come to us with their story.

It's our first podcast.  You know, that one that's a throw away.  The one where we mindlessly talk about ourselves and lay out the plot and outline for what we hope to provide for all of y'all.  Please just get through this one and hopefully we will continue to grow and entertain you.  We hope you can find something really special in this and see it as an invitation to always come to "our table" and feel seen.
