AllAnimalsDeserveLifeAndLove ,

Great new find!

Informed, intelligent and funny hosts, plus very interesting guests! Particularly love all the shows covering gender/sex, etc. Keep up the great work!

Gnome chopper ,

Hurray Joyce

Amazing podcast with Helen Joyce. Fascinating and clear dissertation and conversation about gender.

Beer and B Movies ,

Porky's Episode

Thoroughly enjoyed the episode. Bob Clark certainly had an "interesting" film credit list: Porky's, A Christmas Story, and Black Christmas. But any discussion of Clark, has to include his best ... Rhinestone.
