Penglet ,

Yay!

I’m so excited that there’s a podcast out there discussing the relationships with trans people and their partners/families. This is something the community needs so bad right now. My S.O. and I were just talking about my transition this week and she was lamenting that there are so many resources for trans people but not many at all for their partners. Thank you for opening up like this, Shannon and Rachel! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Potential

This podcast had so much potential and I hope it gets better but the constant chewing in my ear is too much. Also trying too hard to be funny and the constant extra irrelevant comments get annoying. I really hope they stop snacking in future episodes. It started out about talking about transgender but has turned into constant politics and constant trump bashing. They say everyone needs to be respected and then goes on to refer to Trump as a “Cheeto Head”. Maybe get back to the actual subject for the podcast
