The OutFest 2026 train keeps on rolling! This episode we're welcome Michelle Blight & Elm Reyes, creators, producers, and stars of the stage production CAMP MENSES to the podcast.

Part of the Emerging Stage presentation at OutFest 2026, Camp Menses is a theatre and Clown show that follows a pair of tweens at an overnight summer camp, trying to cope with the traumatic experience of puberty and the early stages of menstruation.

During a late-night campfire, they find themselves overtaken by nature, by each other, and by the moon cycles – in every sense of the term. Prepare for a fantastic conversation that will make you howl!

PLUS! New music from:

AYGYUL, Casual Cries for Help, CD ROSE, Envi Jordan and Fame Sounds, IDSTYLE with KENZERI, Jay Godi, Jennarie, K DANIEL, Nick Hissom, SAKI, Samira Hills, and Slater Manzo feat. First June.
