Til Death Do You Straight

About this episode

The episode explores straight history and culture while humorously acknowledging the straights on the first day of Pride.

Drivey note: this week's episode has been untouched by the loving hands of producer Jordan Mallory. John is much worse at Jordan's job than Jordan is, so please forgive this week for any audio issues or snafus. This week, John bravely asks the question "what if we gave just a few minutes to acknowledge the straights" to Merritt and Niki on this, the first day of Pride (at least when we recorded it). Explore straight history and culture with us, including the idea that fearing planes, like John Madden, makes you a little gay.

Hosted by Niki Grayson , merritt k and John Warren , and produced by Jordan Mallory , with music by Jordan and art by Max Schwartz .
