    This week on VTV, Kev and Trev sit down with trans activists Mason Fitzpatrick and Sawyer Sturgis for a powerful, unfiltered conversation about what it means to be trans in America today. From the very real fears and pressures of traveling as a trans person to the importance of finding spaces that feel safe, affirming, and truly inclusive, Mason and Sawyer open up about their lived experiences with honesty and vulnerability. They share what it’s been like being part of the VACAYA community, and why environments built on acceptance and connection are more vital now than ever. The conversation dives into the complexities of navigating identity within LGBTQ+ spaces — including the challenges around “passing,” visibility, and the importance of consent, respect, and understanding when engaging with trans individuals. It’s raw, insightful, and deeply human — a conversation that invites listeners to listen, learn, and show up better for one another.

    Kristin Key: The Lesbian Army, Music vs. Comedy, and being TikTok Famous!

    This week on VTV, Kev and Trev sit down with the wildly funny, musical comedy powerhouse Kristin Key for a conversation that’s equal parts heartfelt, hilarious, and totally unpredictable. A nationally touring comedian known for sold-out shows, viral videos (including the legendary “Lesbian National Anthem”), and appearances on Last Comic Standing and Bring the Funny, Kristin brings her signature mix of storytelling, music, and quick-fire humor to the VTV studio. Kristin opens up about growing up as a preacher’s kid in conservative Texas, finding her voice through stand-up, and the long journey of coming out and embracing her authentic self. The trio dives into how comedy can build community, why queer audiences connect so deeply with humor, and how Kristin turned a small-town open mic into a career that now reaches millions of fans online. From touring the country and writing musical comedy songs to creating a passionate fanbase she lovingly calls the “Lesbian Army,” Kristin shares the highs, the chaos, and the joy of making people laugh for a living. It’s a conversation full of big laughs, powerful moments, and the reminder that sometimes the best way to tell the truth… is through a really good joke.

    Court Vox: Situationships, Sexual Triggers and BDSM

    SEASON 3  | EP 3 Trigger Warning: This episode discusses sexual assault and experiences of trauma. Listener discretion is advised. In this powerful, deeply honest episode of VTV, we sit down with Court Vox, Los Angeles-based Certified Sex & Intimacy Coach, Somatic Sex Educator, and Founder of The Bodyvox, whose work helps people reclaim connection, consent, and agency in their intimate lives. Court joins Kev and Trev to unpack issues that many of us carry beneath the surface — from the impact of sexual assault and how consent lives in everyday interactions, to the complexities of male intimacy, shame, pleasure, and queer sexual experiences. With decades of study and practice in somatic and body-based approaches, Court offers both compassionate insight and practical understanding of how we relate to our bodies, each other, and the emotional legacy of our past. This episode goes beyond the surface of sex and intimacy to explore how vulnerability, communication, and embodied awareness are essential to healing, empowerment, and deeper connection. It’s a conversation that’s informative, reflective, and ultimately human — not to be missed. @Courtvox  To follow and watch the podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VACAYA To check out all of VACAYA’s upcoming trips click here: https://www.myvacaya.com/ Listen to the audio version: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/vtv/id1772763062Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ph4HbdSnmXBFspAlPSoag?si=-vQnkJv4TuqawBGxJGn7UwFollow VACAYA: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/myvacaya/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/myVACAYATiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@myvacayaFollow VTV: Instagram:  @vacaya.vtvTiktok:  @vacaya.vtvFollow Trevor: Instagram:   ...
