Episode 138.5 - "I Never Coughed Into a Pu**y" - Jeremie Saunders

In this very special bonus episode, I sit down with one of my podcast colleagues and someone who I totally admire, Jeremie Saunders. He is the one of the hosts of the wildly popular podcasts "Sickboy" all about finding the funny in chronic illness and/or disability and "Turn Me On", a podcast wherein he explores sexuality topics with his wife, Bryde. I talk to him today about his life with Cystic Fibrosis, and how living with a shortened life expectancy has had an impact on his sense of impulsiveness, time, relationships, and of course, sex. This was one of my favorite interviews ever that I just couldn't wait to share with you. Enjoy!

Episode 133 - Stump F*cker - Anthony Michael Lopez

In this episode, I sit down with actor Anthony Michael Lopez. We chat everything from acting with a disability, and how he prepared for his roles in Mapplethorpe and Broad City to chatting about sex and disability as a gay amputee. Believe me, the title of this episode is more than appropriate. I loved this episode so much, and I hope you do too.
