Full Circle (the Podcast) with Charles Tyson, Jr. & Martha Madrigal

Writers, artivists, and creatives CHARLES TYSON, JR. and MARTHA MADRIGAL come to you each week with their unique brand of wit and humor as they discuss current headlines affecting the LGBTQ+ community, pop culture, and navigating life as a black queer man and a white trans femme, recently engaged. After ten years of friendship and another twelve years as a couple, these former tavern owners invite you into their home at East Barbary Lane each week to visit with them, their ridiculously needy puppy, and their two eternally feuding cats. They might even add a surprise guest now and again.
