Miss Mouthy Podcast

What if the love you chase is really a story you wrote to survive? We sit down with writer-director Just Thrasher and lead actor-producer Todd Ajax to unpack Unrequited, a Black queer dramedy that turns limerence, therapy, and hard-won honesty into must-watch storytelling. We start with 90s TV nostalgia, then shift into how a “throwaway” script became a calling, how a table read lit the fuse, and why this project demanded everythin...

What if the bravest love story is the one where you finally choose yourself?

We dig into how staying too long can turn...

Family before trophies. That’s where Larry Praylow begins as we sit down with the iconic father of the House of Ebony to chart a path from a Brooklyn brownstone to a global ballroom legacy. Larry opens the door to a time when the category didn’t matter as much as the table heaped with food, the mother who waited up at the window, and the kids who found a safe place to land after midnight. From those roots came Banji in 1976, then E...

The mic crackled, but the message came through with force: intersex lives deserve care, respect, and room to breathe. We sat down after a heartfelt conversation with our friend, an intersex advocate, to unpack what we heard—medical trauma that should never have happened, language that can bruise or heal, and a partnership that proves love is more than parts. The audio from part one had issues, yet the insights were too important to...

Love Without Illusions; Setting Real Standards

What if the story you tell about love is the very thing keeping you from it? We open up about the gap between desire and devotion, and how easy it is to confuse attention with intimacy when the culture rewards secrecy and punishes public love. From childhood crushes you can’t name to late-night arrangements that never see daylight, we trace the quiet ways fantasy takes over—and the loud...

Quiet can be a refuge, but it can also become a cage. Season six opens with a promise to get loud on purpose—naming the wounds, honoring the work, and choosing a voice that builds rather than burns. I’m joined by my friend Drea, host of Healing from Trauma, for a raw, steady conversation about what it costs to heal while life keeps moving. We talk about separation from our kids, the slow churn of courts, and the pressure of being B...

Joy without care is fragile. We bring both, linking Pride energy to an honest conversation about men’s mental health with the cast of Eden’s Garden and community leaders who know the stakes. From the Trans Visibility March in DC to the quiet rooms and late‑night calls that keep people here, we trace how safety, affirmation, and practical support turn struggle into momentum.

We open with clear check‑ins—what’s working, what...

A single Facebook post. A last-minute flight to New York. One line that turned into the lead. Rail Lowry joins us to share how a quiet decision to live fully at 32 opened doors from Charlotte to the set of Eden’s Garden, and why family acceptance—from a mother’s practical love to an 87-year-old grandmother’s affirmation—can change the arc of a life.

We dig into the real work behind the camera, from painstaking sound checks...

The conversation opens with a spark: a long-time fan steps on set as an extra and leaves as a lead. Barry Brooks shares how he became Rico in Eden’s Garden and why the role felt less like acting and more like coming home. Raised by a fierce single mother in upstate New York, he learned love, fairness, and what it means to show up. Those lessons shaped his transition, his sense of manhood, and the tender mother–son arc that anchors ...
