In honor of LGBTQ pride month, Bri explores a largely forgotten piece of history: Polari.  The clandestine language used by the LGBTQ community before the legalization of same-sex relationships in 1967 England and Wales has disappeared from our cultural awareness since it's height- but how did it get here, where did it go, and what can we learn from it?

In honor of Autism Acceptance Month in April (sometimes referred to as Autism Awareness Month), Bri sits down with autistic self-advocate, speaker, and self-determiner Alex Kimmel to talk about the difference between awareness and acceptance, and practical, tangible ways to promote neurodiversity.
