Scissoring Isn't A Thing

Scissoring Isn't A Thing

Hey, guess what? Scissoring Isn't a Thing—or is it? From discussing identity to dismantling old school stereotypes about the LGBTQ+ community, co-hosts Daryn Carp (Andy Cohen's assistant and host of People's Reality Check) and Liz Culley (digital media executive and podcaster) get some of the most personal and hilarious interviews from your favorite celebs and personalities. Covering pop culture to coming out stories to even celeb crushes, no topic is off limits. Daryn and Liz are entertainment industry "vets" and ask the questions most people are too scared to and their guests usually spill their secrets. From porn stars to Bravolebs to influentials to doctors, Scissoring Isn't a Thing is the heartfelt (and hysterical) LGBTQ+ education friendly podcast everyone can feel safe to fall in love with- no matter how you identify.
