Description
Hello,
My show is hard to pin down into one genre and I love that. I talk about horror films, Queerness, smut and sexual desire, and the human condition.
I started this show because I love these topics but more importantly I love good conversations that cut past the walls and barriers that we put up so my guests and I can share in safe vulnerability.
I hope you enjoy the episodes I put out into the world, and if there is anything you would like me to discuss you can email me.
