  • The perfect mix of news and real talk

    I’m obsessed with the range on this show. One minute you’re getting the tea on Boston local legends, and the next you’re hearing a deeply moving interview with a pro hockey player coming out. It’s raw, it’s hilarious, and it feels like hanging out with your smartest, funniest friends. If you aren't listening to Everything and Anything (and a Little Bit Gay), you’re missing out.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 222: Psychic Medium Barbra Banner on Spirit Messages, Trance Channeling & Life After Death
Q: How has the experience of reading affected Barbra personally, especially regarding death and reincarnation?
The readings shifted her view on death from finality to a home base experience, and reinforced a belief in reincarnation as a continuing journey, which she describes through personal memories and client stories that illustrate soul evolution.
Ep. 222: Psychic Medium Barbra Banner on Spirit Messages, Trance Channeling & Life After Death
Q: What is the core difference between messages from loved ones and skeptical readings?
Barbra emphasizes evidential details that prove presence (like specific, verifiable contexts such as a TV show or a unique personal memory) and aims to uplift and comfort clients, while acknowledging that skeptics may require more proof and that not every message lands as a clear sign.
Ep. 222: Psychic Medium Barbra Banner on Spirit Messages, Trance Channeling & Life After Death
Q: How did Barbra first realize this was her path during the pandemic?
She described a series of intensified phenomena that began when Spirit started knocking—objects moving, lights changing—and after taking a class, she quickly embraced training and began building her practice, recognizing a clear sense of calling.
Ep. 220: Top Surgery Changed Everything: A Plastic Surgeon on Trans Care & Changing Lives
Q: How have pain management practices evolved in top surgery to reduce narcotic use?
We now use nerve blocks during surgery to provide long-acting pain relief, allowing most patients to recover with minimal or no narcotics, relying instead on NSAIDs like Advil and Tylenol, which drastically reduces opioid exposure.
Ep. 220: Top Surgery Changed Everything: A Plastic Surgeon on Trans Care & Changing Lives
Q: What exactly is top surgery and what does it entail for patients seeking chest masculinization?
Top surgery generally refers to chest masculinization and can include removing projecting breast tissue to create a flatter, more masculine chest; some patients also seek breast implants or augmentation for trans women, and nipple-areola tattooing can be used later for restoration or symmetry.
