Episode 24 of Responding To... a podcast where I aim to expand thinking about all things gender and sexuality, especially for an audience of older, cisgender, heterosexual, white men. In this episode I harken back to episode 19 and dip us again into the rich, educational waters of art. I read 4 poems by 4 different authors around the themes of gender, sexuality, love, and connection.
