    Maddy is Interviewed

    My guest this episode is Shanna Felix, and she will actually be interviewing me.  Shanna is a 3rd year phD student with Georgia State University working on a dissertation relating to criminal justice where her field of study is criminology, queer criminology, and the experience perceptions of people who identify as queer have with the criminal justice system.  One of the driving forces for Shanna was the realization that academia has largely ignored this area of knowledge, and its difficult to find answers when you don't even know what questions need to be asked.  Shanna identifies as a queer lesbian herself, and is a former Jehovah's Witness.  If you want to hear more from Shanna, she was recently a guest over on Queersplaining a podcast by the amazing Callie Wright.  The episode is titled Queer Criminology, and was release on March 21st 2019, just one week after Shanna and I chatted…yes that's right I've had this conversations sitting in my computer for like 6 weeks…I'm sorry Shanna!

    Yannick Taylor, Black Trans & Beautiful

No topic is off limits."  I've been a listener and patreon for a few months now, and it's a great addition to my regular podcast rotation. In case it wasn't obvious by the title, Yannick is a black trans woman, and she's also a church leader…which makes yet another christian that has been willing to come on this atheist podcast…I guess hashtag not all christians? Stick around through the interview, as Yannick is also a musician, so I thought it would only be appropriate to close the show out with her music.
