Customer Reviews
Appreciated menopause episode.
As a person who came out at 21 I don’t have a whole lot of interest in some topics. But I enjoy hearing queer perspectives on aging. This episode in particular felt helpful. I wish they would do a follow up ie menopause part 2. I’ve never heard a gay/queer led discussion on Peri menopause and menopause. And I would like to hear more. Good to have company, thanks.
Good, but sound quality is terrible
Seriously, please fix the imbalance. Alli is so loud it hurts. Melissa is so quiet and I turn up volume to be able to hear her and then Alli interrupts and shatters my eardrum. I want to keep listening but I don’t know if I’ll be able to unless it’s fixed.
Also, Alli has referred to bisexual women wanting to be with women as cheating several times. It’s so offensive. I am a (married to a man) bisexual woman who has never been with a woman and I listen to this podcast to feel validated, not attacked. As Melisa pointed out to Alli, a lot of women who identify as bisexual are on their journey to finding out if they are, in fact, lesbian. Comphet is real.
Also, the “catalyst” term all the time is grating.
I do enjoy the show other than those things. Thank you for creating interesting, relatable content.
Sound is an issue
I absolutely love this podcast. It has helped me so much through my journey. Though, I don’t listen as often as I’d like because the sound quality is often bad. Most of the time one person is quiet or echoes while another is loud. So you can’t hear one person and the other is loud in your ear. It’s really important to fix that.
