Friends you can mute

I’m unhoused, trans, and unworried. From citation needed to the skepticrat, the guys and gals and non binary voice talents that make this show happen give me weekly reasons to keep trying, to never settle. I’ve been listening since about 2015, Thursdays are my favorite day of the week. I can’t wait to meet them in person. #lalochezia
