Here we go again with all the headlines fit to scream at! Or at least a few, there's too many for just one episode. . . oh dear.
(Content warning: there is discussion of the death of Nex Benedict, which includes violence against a queer person, transphobia, and suicide. Warnings are included before the discussion starts, as well.)
(Another editor's note: time ran short and we didn't get to a happy queer news story, so here's a couple Junko found, because we can all use a little hope to keep us going.)

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
