Customer Reviews
Gorgeous moving storytelling!
Jordans interviews are so engaging to listen to and I love the way he frames these important stories with kindness and curiosity. This podcast is necessary, it makes space for these stories to be passed on.
So Beautiful!
A beautiful podcast exploring much needed conversations with queer elders. I’ve taken so much away from this podcast already. The host is lovely and asks such insightful and thought provoking questions. Definitely take a listen!
Stonewall
Respectful. I love how Jordan was respectful to the queens of Stonewall. Especially, he was respectful to the man he was he interviewing.
