The Tadpole, The Frog, and The Stars

In this gentle and affirming episode of OUT Like a Light, we invite you to drift into sleep wrapped in softness, safety, and starlight. Hosted by John Scott, this queer bedtime podcast offers a peaceful sanctuary for LGBTQ+ listeners—and anyone longing to be held in love and calm as they fall asleep.

Tonight's episode features a dreamy meditation called “Floating in Space,” where you’ll drift weightlessly through the cosmos, free from the pull of the day and embraced by the hush of the stars. As you float, you'll be reminded that you are enough, just as you are—stardust and softness, mystery and light.

Following the meditation is our bedtime story, “The Tadpole, The Frog, and the Stars.” In it, you’ll meet a quiet frog who grows from a tiny tadpole into something beautifully unexpected. This frog, who doesn't quite fit into traditional ideas of gender or form, lives in harmony with the rhythms of nature—embracing transformation, fluidity, and belonging. Guided by an omniscient narrator and free of dialogue, the story mirrors the quiet majesty of real-life frogs who, in rare and natural cases, can change their biological sex—a reminder that nature itself embraces complexity, fluidity, and nonconformity.

This episode is soft, slow, and entirely free of ads. Just warmth, queerness, and care. It’s perfect for winding down, curling up, and remembering that you are never alone—not in your wonder, not in your becoming.

Let yourself rest. You are safe here.
