This week, Tuck chats a bit before sharing an episode of the TransLash Podcast, a new show that covers news, culture and politics from a trans perspective, hosted by Peabody and Emmy-award-winning journalist Imara Jones.

In this episode, Imara Jones talks with Kai Wright, who hosts WNYC's The United States of Anxiety, about the links between transphobia, the history of fear in America and the 2020 elections. Plus, Marquise Vilson, a Black-trans actor and activist, opens up about the importance of transmasculine representation and using his platform to combat violence against trans women of color.
