Customer Reviews
Incredible
Laughed out loud more at this show than I have at any podcast in forever. The vernacular, a fresh and refreshing outlet and a podcast that is brilliantly welcoming for anyone of any sexual orientation.
Nah
Not for me..
Essential
Came across the show as a result of a crossover episode with Riot Act. Currently working my way through the back episodes and it’s absolutely fantastic. Tom is eloquent, hilarious, and endlessly knowledgeable. No matter where you are (Baltimore, Maryland fan here!), this is a much needed voice in a scene long-plagued by homophobia and transphobia. Cheers and thanks.
