You've got a check out Telepathy Tapes!!
Raven Collins
the audio kept cutting out towards the end of the episodes on and off. very weird.

Not sure if comments here would help you people at all, but I don't have apple podcast or whatsoever, sorry 😅 But just want to let you know that I agree that the listener sending this question probably knows more than you do. But this episode about romance and relationships/companionships are still very helpful and supportive. Thanks so much for that!
Tara Lewin
I love this podcast but it seems like there are adverts interrupting so much more often jow, like right in the middle of a serious interview there's a good couple minutes of adverts, it's super jarring! I don't mind them at the end of each segment just not right in the middle!
Elea Scharff
Amazing ☺️ It's kind of rare to have a podcast to talk about LGBT people and LGBT rights, feminism, polyamorous and being a young weird woman in 2021 in general ! Allison and Gaby are two very different women but both they seem so positive and great to be around, their advices are very good also. They got two different perspectives and that's refreshing.
