Transmasc man Kelly LeBlanc comes back on the pod today to talk to us about self love, art promo, and how transitioning was the ultimate act of self care. You know what’s punk rock? Living your truth in a world that doesn’t want you to.

“If you show a kiddie pool to someone with no depth perception, they’d be like ooooh, that’s deep.”

Because it's never too late to talk about the new Batman. Or Robert Pattinson and his relationship with the media. Or how The Riddler has re-defined the term "influencer" for us all. 

En route to Highland Coffees, the best way to spend the afternoon in Baton Rouge traffic is to hate on something men love: superheroes. Cierra Shirley is a current LSU Vet School student, dog mom, and absolute best friend of Swamp Rat's since kindergarten.

Much to discuss!

Today, we teleport into an academic's living room. Adam Ortego is a Master of Architecture student at UL, a chill vibe provider, and an old pal of mine from our drum major days. We discuss dreaming big, critiquing our current societal systems, both cultural and economic. We declare Mardi Gras a grandiose display of drunken gluttony, appreciate Costco's fresh baked bagels in bulk, and explain what doesn't quite make sense about Pixar plotlines. This episode is a melting pot of catharsis, field notes, and thesis statements. For example, as Ortego once said, "Ratatouille is a gay coming of age movie incorporating gender norms, toxic masculinity, and regional, economical, and racial disparities in arts, culture, and standard of living." 

And that's just That on That!

*Editor's note: our "main guy" in Disney Pixar's Ratatouille is Italian, not American, and his name is Alfredo Linguini.

Special guest Rebekah Hinson joins Swamp Rat today for a debrief on organized religion, spirituality, crystals, the highs and lows of cult-like Christian conglomerate churches, the feminine urge to be nurturing, self care, and how to actually, finally, really, and truly, clean ya damn house. Sit back, turn the lights down, light your incense, and let us walk you through our girl talk for the evening.

Special guest Belle South joins Swamp Rat for a hearty fireside chat avec meatless Cane's, some background jazz, and a gold ole trip down memory lane. We discuss first blowjobs, girlbossing, gaslighting, and gatekeeping, how heartbreak is great for art, how we are ~artists, writers, and musicians~ and how mental illness shouldn't gatekeep you from motherhood. So come on in and have a seat, we were just talking shit!!

Louisiana Stars alumni Joseph Bagnerise and Kelly LeBlanc discuss a multitude of topics in this 2 hour episode. Drum corps making Kelly gay, Joseph being spiritually buff, sex education, the infamous black square, playing a part in the school play as Jesus, the government spying on us, and college indoctrinating us. Much love to our amazing listeners. Hope you enjoy and Geaux Tigers!

Louisiana Stars members Rebekah Hinson and Jayden Menard drive through the Raising Cane's line while listening to wind band music and discuss a myriad of topics. Women, men, nudes, Tinder, OnlyFans, boycotting corporations, celebrities, Shane Dawson, drum corps culture, the "criminal justice" system, and ... anal?

Hi, gay! It’s pride month, it’s grimace’s birthday, and it’s Atlanta, GA. Our shortest episode yet will pack a punch in your morning commute.
