Hey, Everyone!!! So in this weeks episode we break down why the hell did we get married? We sit with our guest Robin and of course, Janet from HR to figure out what motivated that decision. Janet tells us why he has been married 3 times (wow!) and Patrick conveys how he truly feels about his husband. So please listen and let us know what you think.
This episode is a fun one. We sit down with former co-host Alex and former producer Mary. We discuss with them what they have been up to and how much the missed me (hint,hint it’s a lot). So come in and have a listen to us.
For Black History Month, Patrick is joined by old friend and middle-aged white woman Robin Haggitt to discuss the ways white women are navigating the current political landscape and how they can listen to Black Women, leverage their privilege, and learn to lead a charge without leaving others behind. Apologies for the audio quality. We hope you can forgive the sound shortcomings to listen to this important conversation.
