A queer podcast centered on advocate and author Donovan James' book of poetry The Endless In-Between. Every episode I talk to artists, creatives, and healers who've inspired me by sharing their truth and joy with the world. I hope by sharing a bit of my experiences you can reflect upon the experiences and stories that are a part of your life. I think by holding space together we can build a bridge across those moments in life that feel like the endless in between.

  1. ...Baby One More Time: 25 Year Album Retrospective

    ...Baby One More Time: 25 Year Album Retrospective

    Britney Spears debut album “…Baby One More Time” was released 25 years ago on January 12, 1999 and changed pop music forever. The single has become a pop classic made only sweeter by the iconic “schoolgirl” music video and spent 32 weeks on the Billboard Top 100 chart. On this special bonus episode, I break down how Britney was able to break into and redefine pop stardom, her impact, and the future of (pop) music and its stars. More so, this episode reminded me how fun it is to be a fan of pop music and feel empowered through a once in a generation artist’s impressive discography. Cheers to the one who started it all for me, the legendary Britney Jean Spears! #endlesspodcast #britneyspears #babyonemoretime #babyonemoretime25 #freebritney #itsbritneybitch  #popmusic #popstars #music #lgbt #lgbtpodcast
