He's a straight white guy... the first one as a guest on our show. Considering his expertise as a communicator, we figure he's the right straight white guy we could talk to about listening.

It’s been a while since we’ve had new content for you, but we haven’t stopped listening. Season 2 has been long in production and is finally ready. We’ll be releasing new episodes every Tuesday for the next several weeks.

This season we found ourselves talking a lot about bodies: black bodies, female-identifying bodies, fat bodies, disabled bodies, objectified bodies. And in this time where we’re so split apart and separated, we feel that these conversations are just as relevant as they were when we recorded them--even if they predate the Covid-19 outbreak.

So stay tuned and keep listening.
