Pressing pause on the podcast until right around Halloween. Explanation in the introduction. I will miss you all until then!!!

Today's episode takes us from the sunny beaches of Santa Cruz to the bright lights of Las Vegas. Once again...APPLY ALL OF THE TRIGGER WARNINGS!

Wow! Due to overwhelming positive response, I am making this episode available immediately. Please...pass it on to ANYONE who's worked in a toxic theatre environment!!! And so many thank you's to all of you who've offered to come forward! It means the world to me.

The episode that should be called, "A PSA about PSA" ended up being two vintage gays taking a lovely romp down memory lane.

My first double episode! The episode decades in the making! In this episode I cover the next two songs in my show...Little Pink House, and Lullabye. My very special, special guest and I want to make sure you all know, WE ARE NOT LICENSED CLINICIANS in any sense of the word. This episode should also be labeled with ALL THE TRIGGER WARNINGS! We have a very candid talk about some very horrifying things. Enjoy?

The Surgeon General's name I couldn't remember was Nadine Burke Harris. Here's a link to her amazing TED Talk:

I've had the most amazing 3 years performing my show, and now I'd like to take you behind the scenes. I've got some clips from several different versions to compare with you, and an explanation as to why and how things got cut. There is also a very important (to me) chat about feeling safe. Please feel free to donate as often as possible to https://www.thetrevorproject.org/Watch for episode #2 coming out next Friday at...you guessed it..4:21! Enjoy!

ADDED: There are some audio oddities in this episode (thanks to those of you for pointing that out). I am deaf as a pot in my right ear, so I’ve made some changes to my recording software to accommodate that. Those changes have since been sacked. 😎 see you next week!!!
