Different Together Episode 5: Superpowers is a joyful season finale about all the skills and abilities that emerged for my guests through potentially challenging origins. And: we talk about food. Lynne just had to cram a big chat about food in there somewhere. Dafe and Lynne discuss the complication with the structure of the question, What is your superpower, and Dafe cracks the whole puzzle at the end.

Different Together Episode 3: Do Ask, Don't Ask explores what came up for guests when asked what do they wish people would ask them about their identities, and what do they wish people would stop asking about their identities. Themes included hair, language, and that problematic little question, Where are you from? Dafe and Lynne discuss the aurality of the "Do" answers versus the "Don't" answers, the creation of the episode's montage, and the nature of interview in general.
