  • Summary

  • Growing up gay in the 80's, in a conservative town the size of a dime while surrounded by Mormons and cowboys was about as fun as fiery diarrhea. This may have been why O'Dell (the host) went from a scared and confused kid, to a closeted, self-loathing and unintentionally homophobic young adult. With a little help from friends and a lot of therapy, he eventually blossomed into a slightly neurotic, mildly self-deprecating and eternally single adult.

    Maybe you can relate?

    On this show O'Dell will share stories from his life, chat about pop culture, look back at important events in LGBTQ+ history, and interview friends and allies involved in the community. We've come a long way, but the fight is far from over.

    Grab a snack and join O'Dell for a lot of talkin' and a little learnin'. You never know what you'll get from week to week, but whatever it is, it's safe to say you'll only be slightly disappointed.

    Interview: Meet 'Nathan Burgoine
    Aug 22 2022
    On this episode I spend some time chatting with queer Canadian author, 'Nathan Burgoine. We talk about what it was like for 'Nathan growing up, first kisses, coming out versus being outed, what it's like to be a "curb queer", his books and whether or not Canada really is better for LGBTQIA+ folks than the U.S.

    To learn more about 'Nathan and his books, https://apostrophen.wordpress.com ( check out his website.)

  • Crime: Remembering Sage Smith and Rita Hester

    Crime: Remembering Sage Smith and Rita Hester
    Aug 15 2022
    On this episode I repurpose a couple of cases that Erin Stallings and I covered on our True Crime and Unsolved Mysteries podcast, "Six Degrees of WTF" - specifically crimes against trans individuals.

    We start with Erin's coverage of the disappearance of Sage Smith and then close things out with the unsolved murder of Rita Hester which prompted the Transgender Day of Remembrance.
