  • Pro life ads?

    I have not loved this podcast, but tried to stick with it through the inane chitchat. The audio is terrible, the ads are very oddly placed, and the constant interrupting to add nothing is irritating. It’s the pro life ads that finally did it though. Are you guys serious with that? Not okay.

  • Eye opening.

    For anyone wondering if these if leaving a happy marriage is worth it to chase this lifestyle you can tell these women are very unhappy and re leading very miserable lives. Trying to cover it with a facade of “it’s worth the price of admission”. Save yourself some heartache and regret and learn from the mistakes of these women.

  • Not an inclusive podcast

    This podcast is threatening to the lgbtq community as Alli & Melissa reinforce cis-Hetero, norms through a white capitalistic patriarchal lens. Weekly Alli & Melissa discuss and joke about essentially using ‘ catalysts’, or lesbians who have been out, and then discarding them after their needs weren’t met. This problematic behavior reads toxic straight community, and gives lesbian’s who came out later in life a bad name. Alli & Melissa’s gatekeeping is disheartening, and especially within an alr... more

  • Meh 🫤🫤

    I want to like this podcast. While very different from my own experience, I love hearing coming out stories. But…these women are so ungrateful to the women who cleared a way for them. They denigrate lesbians who are more stereotypical and have so little diversity in their guests. I often cannot make it through a full episode. Sigh. What a drag.

  • Support I needed!

    I came out 3 years ago at age 47 and after two hetero marriages. Alli and Melisa have given me a support group and so much validation. They helped me navigate this big move in my life with confidence and integrity.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 343: Sophia Spallino on Lesbian Matchmaking
Q: What differentiates private matchmaking from the general dating platform?
She outlines a higher-touch, vetted service with team members conducting interviews, background checks, and tailored introductions, versus the broader platform which focuses on scalable features like AI matching and group coaching.
Episode 342: Rebecca Kordecki on Breath Work
Q: Tell us a little bit about you and what prompted your shift from fitness to breathwork?
Rebecca explains that after decades in fitness, the realization that heart and inner work mattered more than external results led her to explore breathwork as a means to help others access deep emotional layers, ultimately guiding her to study, certify, and teach the practice.
Be Gay, Solve Crime: Episode 2: The Murder of Katie Janness and Bowie (Part 2)
Q: How does DNA work in a case like Katie's when CODIS has no hit yet?
DNA databases exist, but not every offender is swabbed, especially if they were only in county jail or not convicted; thus a hit may not exist yet, so investigators must rely on broader investigative work and potential surreptitious DNA collection if probable cause exists.
Episode 332: Raw Inventory
Q: What sticks out for you as some of the painful lessons?
Using my voice, even if people don't like it, has been a big lesson for me.
Episode 324: After the Honeymoon
Q: What are some things that like after the honeymoon phase, when you're settling into that situation, what are some things that like you could think of to keep it fun and alive?
Continuing to flirt and planning dates can help keep the relationship alive and fun even after the honeymoon phase.
