Growing up gay in the 80's, in a conservative town the size of a dime while surrounded by Mormons and cowboys was about as fun as fiery diarrhea. This may have been why O'Dell (the host) went from a scared and confused kid, to a closeted, self-loathing and unintentionally homophobic young adult. With a little help from friends and a lot of therapy, he eventually blossomed into a slightly neurotic, mildly self-deprecating and eternally single adult.
Maybe you can relate?
On this show O'Dell will share stories from his life, chat about pop culture, look back at important events in LGBTQ+ history, and interview friends and allies involved in the community. We've come a long way, but the fight is far from over.
Grab a snack and join O'Dell for a lot of talkin' and a little learnin'. You never know what you'll get from week to week, but whatever it is, it's safe to say you'll only be slightly disappointed.

On this episode I interview my friend of 18 years, Michael Harren. Michael is a very talented composer, podcaster and music teacher living in Brooklyn. He's also a vegan and animal rights activist.
We discuss what it was like for Michael growing up gay in a conservative Texas town, his time spent on tour with Sandra Bernhard, his most recent performance piece, and why it's okay to not always be okay.

WTH is a pop nugget? In short, these are extra episodes that I'll ocasionally drop where I sit and chat with friends about nuggets of pop culture and current events.
On this episode, I sit with Erin Stallings - one of my besties - and we chat about things we love and hate this week before heading down the Real Housewives rabbit hole. We share our thoughts on the first four episodes of season 12 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and close out by listing which 6 housewives from all franchises we would choose to spend a week away with.

Trigger warning: During the first half of this episode I talk about some of the bullying that I experienced growing up, and I use gay slurs when quoting some of the things that were said to me.
So what does gay pride mean, and why is it important? We have lots to chat about in this supersized pride episode!
I take a personal moment and kick things off discussing my earlier views of pride and how they have changed for the better. In the second half, I give a brief overview of what life used to be like for LGBTQ+ folks in the 60's and what led to the Stonewall riots. I close out by asking some of my friends what pride means to them.

On this episode I interview Tamara Siler, a good friend, and staunch LGBTQIA+ ally. When I hear the word ally, Tamara is the first person who immediately comes to mind. She is a gifted actress and singer, incredibly smart and a straight shooter. If you are moving through life without someone like Tamara in your court, you're missing out.

On this episode, Erin's back, but this time I interview her. We talk about our brutally honest friendship, Erin's journey into becoming an ally, missed threesomes and lots of theatre.

This time around we kick things off talking about Top Gun: Maverick and then chat about some podcasts we're listening to, TV shows we're watching and then we gravitate towards Real Housewives chat. It starts with season 6 of Real Housewives of New Jersey and then we recap and share our thoughts on episodes 5 and 6 of the new season (season 12) of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. We cap things off with some chit chat around the latest season of The Boys before being pulled back into Real Housewives. (We can't stay away.)

On this episode, I chat with Daryl Banner, an author, playwright and composer based in Katy, TX. I met Daryl at the same place as all of my season one guests - at a community theatre in the Houston metropolitan area. On this episode, I chat with Daryl about what it was like growing up in a small Houston suburb, being outed, safe spaces, his books and what his creative process is like.

On this episode you'll meet me, O'Dell, the self-deprecating weirdo and host of the show. I just turned 50, and in the days leading up to that moment, I did a lot of soul searching and one of the things I reflected on the most was how I moved through life in a way that allowed me to not fully acknowledge my sexuality, and in turn, not accept myself for who I really am. Today, that will begin to change.
I'm interviewed by Erin Stallings (one of my best friends from my time in Houston). While we only scratch the surface, you at least get a good idea of what things were like for me at times in my weird, sometimes scary, but wonderful life.

It's time for more nuggets of pop culture with O'Dell and Erin. This one starts with a conversation about poppers and politics before we dive into what we've been watching this week. We discuss the documentary "Mormon No More", "Yellowjackets", "Heartstopper" "So You Think You Can Dance", and "Hacks". After the break we talk about how boring Real Housewives of Beverly Hills still is (and how much we can't stand Diana) and then we move into discussing how much we LOVE Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, and our newfound adoration for Brandi Glanville.
