From the Vault: Leandra and Mark

I've been fortunate to have a few guests back who were on my Intersections YouTube project a few years ago, including Leandra Vane and Mark. I'm sharing those original interviews, so you can get to know them.

You may have noticed a shift in the music. Since I’ve moved editing platforms, I didn’t want to take the music from the creators on my old platform, so I found this nice song: Innovation by Jon Sib. I know it’s just for the background, but I hope you like it. I’ve been fortunate to have a few guests back who were on my Intersections YouTube project a few years ago, including Leandra Vane and…

Max

This week, we talk to Max, a transgender expansive, genderfluid, asexual, aromantic, mad poly queer, demisexual gender traveler!

If you’ve listened to this podcast for a little while, it may end up looking and sounding a little different, because I’m trying a new editing platform that allows for something I’ve wanted to set up for a while: transcripts! The edits may be a little off as I adapt, but if this works out, it may be good in the long run. Of course, because this is a real, human conversation, and real humans don’t…

Clive and Julianna

It’s been a while! Running a podcast in your spare time can be a challenge sometimes, and work and life commitments got in the way for a bit, but the guests I interviewed still deserve to be heard! A couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by Clive and Julianna, who wanted to have me as a guest on their podcast: Re-sex, where they discuss sexual experiences and kinks that they have changed their…

From the Vault: Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espizona

Last week, you heard my conversation with Doctor Robyn. Today, we’re going back in the vault to hear the Intersections interview with them four years ago.

It was the second interview I’d ever done, so it was a little rough, but it was a thrill to talk with them and learn so much about gender and sexuality from someone with real professional and personal expertise.

Back then, Dr. Robyn was a…

I had a chance to catch up again with Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espinoza (@irobyn). Yesterday, they came out in a new way on the @activistheology podcast. We talked about so many things, I had to get this posted today!

For some reason the last couple episodes didn’t make it into the podcast feeds. So, I’m working to figure out why and make adjustments so you can get all the interviews in your feed!

From the Vault: Moniqa and Michael

This week we’re going back in time again with two interviews I recorded for the Intersections Project — the predecessor to The Human Tapestry Podcast.

Our first from-the-vault Intersections interview was with Moniqa: a bisexual, demisexual and questioning demi/gray-romantic woman. Through our conversation, I learned how important the word “woman” is to her, and what it means to be demisexual.

Episode 9: Peter

You may have noticed there wasn’t an episode last week. Unfortunately, since this is a labor of love and not income, my day job took precedence and I wasn’t able to get this out until now. The good news, though, is that we have several episodes coming up, with conversations with old friends and new!

This week, I’m talking with Peter, who you heard in Episode 7 about 3 weeks ago. We caught…
