Amazing to have a podcast (and book!) that avoids moralizing relationships beyond how we care for one another. I’ve teared up, felt like my circumstances have been acknowledged, and given tools that can help in all manner of relationships. Grateful for this.
This podcast is a prime example for why Dean Spade is so highly regarded in the field of activism. His ability to communicate complex ideas in an accessible and enjoyable package is on full display, due in no small part to the warm rapport he has with his equally knowledgeable guests. A must listen!
Revelatory and delightful—like everything Dean Spade writes, speaks or produces

Highly recommend, along with the res... more
