Guest Request
This podcast is about having "uncomfortable conversations", particularly as it pertains to being an authentic gay man.

We intend that all parts of our GBTQ Men's community be represented.

Please provide complete information so we can effectively consider you as a guest.

Due to the volume of guest requests received, you will only be contacted if you are seriously being considered as a guest. If you don't hear from us, you were not selected. Please don't take this personally. There are a limited number of spaces for guests.
