The Future is Here (January 10th, 2025)

Chris and Kaylia talk New Year’s Resolutions, health news, the importance of community, and the future of healthcare for the LGBTQ community in Fresno with Dr. Julie Nicole of the Fresno Collective for Inclusive Medicine. Plus food, silly wellness trends, and more! Enjoy!

Parable of the Sower (Book Review)

Part warning about the future, part supernatural adventure, and part philosophical deep dive into humanity’s desire for religion… this book just might be the perfect read for January 2025.

90. The Well To Hell

Many years ago, Soviet scientists drilled the deepest borehole ever dug by humans. They were looking for geological information, but instead, they encountered the very fires of Hell itself. In this episode, Matt discusses an urban legend with ties to both Evangelical Christianity and late 1980s right-wing politics.

Smells Like Christmas (December 20th, 2024)

We have special guests James Hensley (Chris’s husband) and Matt Armstrong (Kaylia’s husband) on our Christmas episode. We highlight a couple of local nonprofits, enjoy a queer holiday poem, and then dive into gift-giving. Plus, fragrances for everyone, lesbian resourcefulness, Christmas songs, Christmas movies, Mariah Carey, and a holiday quiz. Add Y2K memories and a dash of New Year’s Eve and you have our annual Christmas (politics-free) spectacular!

89. Ghosts of the Playa Vista Project

The Playa Vista or Bellona Wetlands area is said to be haunted. Despite the location containing a well-known and widely reported Native American cemetery, the ghosts are actually somewhat unexpected and weirdly delightful. In this episode, Matt talks about ghosts, real estate development, archaeology, and Howard Hughes.
