    It's About The History of a Life: Bob the Drag Queen's "Harriet Tubman: Live In Concert"

    Who knew Bob the Drag Queen writing in the voice of Harriet Tubman was everything I needed? Bringing a historical figure to life is a great undertaking, greater with a legacy that has redefined the lengths one has taken to ensure freedom is weighted for all its worth. We live in our expression and this book stands to offer history in a way textbooks should aspire to. Enjoy this episode as much as I did! BYYEEE!!!!

    It's About Doing What You Believe Is Right: Rachel Reid's "Role Model"

    Troy is having issues confronting the recent loss of his ex-boyfriend, ex-teammates, and ex-best friend in the span of a week. Throw in a trade to what is considered one of the worst teams in the Hockey League, there isn't much in the world that could distract him from what feels to be the worst time of his life except for the cute redhead with a smile and cheerful disposition that’s hard to ignore. Enjoy another episode in the series asking us whose love matters most and what’s worth standing up for. BYYEEE!!!!

    It's About Not Letting Your 40s Get In The Way: Rachel Reid's "Common Goal"

    Apparently, your 30s are the new 20s and when you hit 40, you're basically dead. I hope my knees make it out of this transition okay, maybe even better than Eric Bennet, a 41-year old soon-to-be retiree, and Kyle Swift, a 25- year old grad student, who end up falling in love with each other. If only mutual interests in just about everything else made the characters realize how good they are for each other, the book wouldn't be as long. But then I wouldn't have a podcast anymore. Don't read that part anymore! Enjoy tonight's episode! BYYEEE!!!!

    It's About Not Needing Permission To Change Your Life: Rachel Reid's "Tough Guy"

    With this third installment of the "Game Changer" series, the Toronto Guardians' defenseman, Ryan Price, carries the weight of conflict externally on the ice, and internally in his heart, as he questions whether hockey's truly meant for him. Pair that with a recent anxiety diagnosis, an unfurnished apartment, and 12 year-old crush that reignites after walking into a drugstore, Ryan has a lot of decisions to make. Some things change, others stay the same, and we have to ask ourselves whether the sacrifices asked of us sometimes is worth it all. Enjoy today's episode, especially if you are at your own crossroad in life. BYYEEE!!!!

  6. It's About Getting What You Want In Love: Rachel Reid's "Heated Rivalry"

    15 JAN

    It's About Getting What You Want In Love: Rachel Reid's "Heated Rivalry"

    Who knew love could be so healing in a world that seeks to define and restrict its access to those it considers delinquent? Being gay, or queer, shouldn't be sentencing for isolation and abstinence; a culling of the mind and body for what is possible for us all, if that is what we desire. Shane and Ilya are in love, with the sport that has defined their drive and passion to live a life constituted of fulfillment and acknowledgment of that which matters most, what we want in life and how dedicated we are to seeing it come to life. So why shouldn't they be able to love each other? Enjoy today's episode with open ears and heart longing for understanding and recognition. BYYEEE!!!!

    1h 17m
  7. It's About Being Gay Still Being Revolutionary: Rachel Reid's "Game Changer"

    10 JAN

    It's About Being Gay Still Being Revolutionary: Rachel Reid's "Game Changer"

    In what I lovingly describe as Challengers if Art and Patrick actually ended up in a relationship, both surprisingly come psychosexual drama, complicated feelings about championship prizes, and an impact that leaves me considering the nature of humanity and its fixation on romance. Love and desire are wonderful things, if you so happen to choose it for the better. Enjoy the episode and don't forget to tune in this Wednesday for our second book of the series, Heated Rivalry! BYYEEE!!!!

    1h 25m

  8. 1 JAN

    It's About Romance At The End of the Year: Nathan Burgoine's "Faux Ho Ho"

    Who knew I needed the love story between two great men to instill a greater love for life and the many ways it can surprise and teach and remind us that romance for life brings love and enjoyment to us. Hopefully you'll like the story of Silas and Dino, love the name, as much as I do! Happy New Year! Enjoy the episode! BYYEEE!!!!
