My friend Tamra and I tell stories of awkward moments that are immediately connected with being queer.

While things are looking up with the generations that are growing up nowadays somewhere on the LGBTQAI+ spectrum...

In the mid to late 80s I decided I wanted to go to sleepaway camp. When my parents relented I realized my grandmother was steering the boat. The dreams of white water rafting, rock climbing, camping and other outdoor adventures faded away when I was given the choice between Weight Watchers camp in LaJolla, CA or a weight loss camp in upstate NY called Camp Shane. It's an emotionally loaded experience but it's not an altogether negative one and my guests this week helped me remember that there we...

In this episode I have a friend on with me and we discuss dating horror stories. First, my guest, Marisa, finds herself on a date which she didn't realize was a date until it was too late. That is followed by three stories - one involving climbing out a window when a dad comes home, one involving a lip sync serenade and one about a date with a bicycling vegan lawyer who was slow to get a hint. Thanks for listening! We hope you have an awkward day.

The title is self-explanatory, if a little long winded. In this episode I tell two stories, one short tale of embarrassing behavior and one longer tale about an awkward February spent living with someone who left a poo for us to find in an unexpected place. All stories are experiences that I have had personally and are told as I remember them, many years later. Thanks for listening!
