    178: Austin Gets a Penis

    In this episode, our good friend Austin Arrowwood is only a few days away from his gender-affirming surgery. You will learn that despite what your ultra-conservative family might tell you, you can't just walk into a clinic, tell them you feel like a boy, and they will staple your new dick on before lunchtime. Lots to learn. Enjoy!

    177 My Dad Died

    177 My Dad Died

    In this episode, Shelly's dad dies. Not literally on the show (that would have been super-weird) but just a few days before this episode was recorded. Plus, Shelly and guest co-host Kirsten get extremely sidetracked with a conversation about karaoke. Also, you will learn about Shelly's brother's magical priesthood ability to "release" dead people from their bodies. I'm not kidding.

As an added bonus, you will get to hear Shelly’s talk that she gave from the pulpit, in a Mormon chapel, in front of hundreds of Mormons. Did she announce that she is gay? Of course she did. Did the church burn to the ground? Listen up and find out.

Diana Ragsdale’s memoir + goooo Shelly!

Ex-LDSDiana Ragsdale wrote a memoir called Loose Cannons. I hope you can have her on the show! Prisoner of The Prophet and Briell = soooo good. Thank you!!

Keep doing what you're doing! You'll krep growing in confidence. I wish Mary well, but you can do this! Keep talking! Love you Shelly!

Relatable!

Middle-aged Lesbians - especially with a religious background - will find things to relate to. Smart, open-hearted, entertaining.

Lalindia ,

Terrifically funny while keeping it real

Love these lesbians picking apart the “logic” they were raised with. The on-air chemistry is fabulous as well.
