This week, we're challenging you to expand your focus to include the great big world out there in which our LGBT brothers and sisters are facing obstacles that are almost unfathomable.

Balls, belly-laughs, burlesque and probably a ton more b-words we can’t even think of on this week’s most entertaining episode.

First up, comedian Erin Foley returns to bring the laughs as we gab about everything from the rocking glory of Heart, the distinct joys of audience interaction and the warm embrace of Sallie Mae. AND, our first ever So Gay Sports Segment! What?!?

Yes, there are a ton of issues of inequality out there, but when it comes to violence against our LGBTQ and HIV-affected brothers and sisters, we must ALL stand up and do something now because lives are *actually* being lost.

Whether you are telling your own story or creating national action, there are countless ways for you to make a difference. And this episode proves it!

All it takes to make a difference in this world is the vision, will and drive to use your own unique voice.

You want to talk theater, folks? Well, talk theater we most certainly do this week as we’re joined by Adam Feldman, theater and cabaret reviewer for Time Out New York. Which Tony Awards performances should you go check out online right this very second?

We're celebrating Pride with two of the most entertaining guests around!

Ken is moving into his first ever house this week, so we're taking a break to bring you this fan-favorite episode from last year.

Two incredible guests 30 and under proving yet again that age should not be a factor when you want to create significant change in this world!

First up, Tyler Curry, the senior editor and head writer of HIV Equal Online, fights through his jet lag to share his thoughts on the state of HIV/AIDS today, to outline how to garner youth involvement and to highlight insane workout routines that Ken will never ever try.

Ken has returned from AIDS LifeCycle 2014 and he’s looking to share some of that experience with you all with two just-plain-incredible participants.

First up, the beautiful, talented and goddess-like Traci Dinwiddie returns after her week in the bike saddle to talk about love bubbles, emotional flat tires, t-bugs and how she and her mustached team raised over $300,000(!).

This is an episode jam-packed with entertainment!

We’re first joined by Erik Piepenburg, senior theater editor at The New York Times, for a wide-ranging chat covering his faithful love for Cleveland, his undying passion for theater and maybe even some small adjustments you can make to your script to keep him from walking out of your play during intermission.

First up, we welcome entertainer Nick Cearley to talk about the wonderful world of cabaret, the musical stylings of Sophie B. Hawkins, the creative influence of Menopause the Musical, his star turn as the Wicked Witch of the West AND how he’s able to strip down on stage: musically and fabric-ally.

We’re in a New York state of mind this week as we’re joined by Nathan Schaefer, executive director of Empire State Pride Agenda. This wide-ranging chat covers everything from the complex landscape of NY to how youth can get involved to how you can challenge complacency. SUCH great talk here!

Ken is volunteering in Kansas City this week with a group of students, so we bring to you a second chance to listen to a favorite recent episode.

First up, political humorist Kate Clinton returns (after a 3 year absence!) to talk everything from LGBT progress to the Cheney sisters to Thanksgivukkah to death. Yes, that’s right...death.

In this world of bloggers and click-bait and pithy posts, is there room for long-form, in-depth engaging pieces on LGBT culture?

Why yes. Yes there is!

We’re joined this week by writer Chadwick Moore to talk about his newest pieces for Out Magazine and The Advocate. This extended chat traverses the nation from Bushwick to the Ozarks to some place in Tennessee where talented writers make up sayings.
