And we're back for a continuation of last week's interview with my dear friend Troy Wood. As you'll remember from the last episode, Troy is just a sentimental mush of goodness. He has some wonderful stories to tell. For this episode, we pick up where we left off last time -- in San Francisco after moving here in 2005. This is where things get really sticky. Get some tissues. And get prepared. This is an emotional rollercoaster of an interview, but it's beautiful, thoughtful, and touching. I know you'll enjoy it.

As always, feedback on the format / sound / editing is all welcome.

And I'm back! A much delayed second episode features an intimate conversation with my dear friend Troy Wood, who moved with me to San Francisco in 2005 from North Carolina. Troy and I met in 2001 in Chapel Hill, and after seven years of friendship, we had much to talk about. This segment is the first in a two-part series with Troy, who reflects on gay life in North Carolina, moving to San Francisco, and about building communities and friendships with gay men. It's an emotional interview. Get your tissues ready.

As always, feedback on the format / sound / editing is all welcome.

And we're off! For our kickoff edition, I sat down with my dear friend Jackson Bowman to talk about his experiences coming out -- first as a lesbian, then as butch, then as a man, then as a gay man! Phew! That's a lot of coming out! Listen in and enjoy!

Oh - and feedback on the format / sound / editing is all welcome.
