Hello, Lovelies! We've got two awesome guests this week talking two totally different pro wrestling projects. First, Brian sits down with Out In The Ring director/producer Ryan Bruce Levey to discuss the upcoming documentary's goal of connect LGBTQ pro wrestling's present, past and future. Then, Colette Arrand (Fanbyte/Fanfyte) returns to help Brian break down AEW's latest pay-per-view event, Full Gear, headlined by a supreme clash between Eddie Kingston and AEW World Champion Jon Moxley. It's long, but it's strong!

Hello, Lovelies! With Paris Is Bumping debuting later tonight, we welcome 1/4 of the event's Divas Championship match to the podcast: Jared Evans. Evans has enjoyed some his most high profile matches ever this year despite the pandemic, making up for years of "stagnation." Butch vs. Gore, EFFY's Big Gay Brunch, going through doors at the Polyam Cult Party: Evans packed a lot into 2020 thus far. And he isn't done. Evans chats all about Paris Is Bumping, the dark periods he overcame and why he doesn't "broadcast" his bisexuality!

Hello, Lovelies! Bi+ Awareness Month comes to an end this week as Brian welcomes independent wrestling staple Solo Darling to the show. Darling came out publicly as pansexual during Pride month and details that experience while getting into why she was hesitant to make the announcement. The discussion also focuses on issues like bi+ fetishization, fears of not belonging and the #SpeakingOut movement. It's a fun, hard and inspirational conversation that looks to rewrite "chapter one" of being bi+!
