  • Breathe. So much vocal fry. Misophoniacs beware. 3 stars because I couldn't last more than 30 seconds. The host set the record for the strongest vocal fry I've heard on a podcast yet. Breathing is good for humans.

    Only 3 episodes out so far, but I’m excited to have stumbled over this podcast and can’t wait to keep listening. Excellent conversations - and giving center stage to the ending (rather than the beginning) of things is a breath of fresh air in the trans/queer/anarchist/culture-critical podcasting world!
