Angela Briones is the proud host of The Gay Podcast for Everyone - and when she says everyone, she means everyone. Whether you align yourself as gay or straight, we all have room to learn from and grow with one another. And that includes Angela herself who discovered her own bias just by doing her show and that discovery caused her to dive deeper and become more open. We talk about the straight parents raising LGBQT kids she features on her show, how she came out to her own parents and whether or not they made it out alive from an escape room (not necessarily in that order). This is another example of how much the world is changing and evolving - and how acceptance, support and love are our shared experience. ------------------------------------------- Solve the cozy mystery of DROWN TOWN - Steve's first novel is available now: Amazon: https://amzn.to/478W8mp OR Barnes & Noble: https://bit.ly/3Mv7cCk

Denise Montrose returns to the show so prepare for a moo-ving experience. We catch up about life on the farm including how she's gone from two to ten cows rescued (plus another twenty placed) and how she's grown as a person and a care-giver of animals over the last few years. Denise is one of the most honest guests we've ever had - meaning she wears her heart on her sleeve and at the same time questions her own steps she has made and keeps making in her effort to do more good in the world (who of us hasn't?). We also discuss the Valentine's Day FaceTime I received from one of her cows. Yes. Seriously. It happened. Great to have her back on another episode with us. ------------------------------------------- Solve the cozy mystery of DROWN TOWN - Steve's first novel is available now: Amazon: https://amzn.to/478W8mp OR Barnes & Noble: https://bit.ly/3Mv7cCk

Steph Hockersmith is Pie Lady Books on Instagram and let's just say close to 100,000 followers can't be wrong: Books and pies pair so good together. Steph's life-long love of reading became her own personal baking experiment. It also became a way for her to express - and find - herself. And it also blew up into something she never imagined - a full-time job. With literary agents and publishers knocking on her door to read and feature their author's books, as well as the Today Show booking (see what I did there?) her for an appearance, this Pie Lady is proving dessert can be the main course. Prepare to be inspired to read more, bake more, and do-your-own-thing more. ------------------------------------------- Solve the cozy mystery of DROWN TOWN - Steve's first novel is available now: Amazon: https://amzn.to/478W8mp OR Barnes & Noble: https://bit.ly/3Mv7cCk

Victoria Gaither returns to share her journey as a black skier, where she is breaking down stereotypes and changing the narrative. We talk about her own history, both as a professional journalist and avid skier, and how she's combining them to help others make a connection. And she's doing this not just by skiing but also through her writing about it in her local newspaper in Killington, Vermont. We also discuss why she prefers the cold over the warm in the winter and how ice hotels are still on both our bucket lists. Vic is one of our favorite good guests and we're thrilled to have her back to share more good with us. Need a good new read?
