    Hello Friends! Before the Gay Council arrests me HAPPY PRIDE! This week, Margie is telling Rachel about Christie Randall's The No-Girlfriend Rule. After our most recent aggressively heteronormative read, this book felt like a fresh breath of gay air. Thank God the baby gays are alright.

Can turn even a bad book into a good time!

Rachel and Margie make my commute to and from work my favorite part of the day! They are hilarious and episodes 98: Suddenly, MOTHMAN and 102: Deep Lore more than prove it!

Hilarious!

I don’t review anything, but this podcast deserves a shout out. Listening while I work on painting a portrait and I’m laughing so hard, I can’t hold the brush. The “50 Shades” episode is a scream.
