I am inhaling this podcast. I laugh and weep all within minutes. Light and shade and so much joy and pride. Thank you for sharing these stories 🌈
Really enjoying this podcast. Wonderfully raw and real people telling their truth with diversity in character and tales. Only wish they could slow their speaking cadence in some instances, as well as the host. Let the listener take in your words, and not just ‘listen’ to them
A thing of beauty, joy and solace
Love this show so much but the top volume is still so quiet, compared to all the other podcasts I listen to, if you’re driving or walking or doing anything it’s so hard to hear, please make louder! :( love this podcast but just don’t often have a perfectly quiet room to listen
I’ll be honest, I don’t get why this has such a low rating. This podcast features so many amazing storytellers! I guess the homophobes got to it first :( maybe my opinion is a bit skewed because I can only listen to the non-explicit versions because my mom, being my mom, won’t turn off the content restrictions because she thinks I’m obsessed with my own queerness. But nevertheless, I love this podcast, and I hope the creators don’t allow the haters to get them down.
Sincerely,
And avid listener,... more
Some really heartwarming stories which I enjoyed listen to, also many which were so cringeworthy I felt smashing my head against the wall

Excellent
beautiful, hilarious & touching storytelling
What a beautiful, deep story of love and friendship. I sat on our porch, eyes closed with the sun warming me as I listened to her story, so well read by the author....I was transported into her world at that time - love and pain, friendship and death....an important message - live life today!
Interesting, fun, heartbreaking and worthy
