Welcome to the podcast home of Audio GayTL's morning show - GayTLOL - featuring Atlanta-based entertainers, comedienne Kia Barnes, drag entertainer Misti Shores, and Ron Roberts, host of "The Ron Show" airing weekday afternoons on Audio GayTL. Listen as the three converse on intimate, personal and community-focused topics - and usually with a big dose of laughs.
Kia's stuck in the Miami airport because Trump bombed a country to kidnap a couple, so it's just Misti & Ron this week, but there's plenty to cover from holiday lady drama to handsy first dates.
Oh and revisiting their high school closetedness (or lack thereof). Also, was Misti both "super gay" AND popular? The answer might surprise you. Or not.
Also, what has Ron learned about Tinder that enables him to sp...
Kia, Misti & Ron got together one last time for 2025 to discuss a wide range of topics - from whether drag performers wear perfume or cologne (Ron had no idea), to Kia getting hit on by an OG at the Macy's jewelry counter. Oh, and hear how she avoided having a criminal record once because she was mis-gendered!
What's Ron have in his condo to lure those sweet-toothed fellas in? Misti knows - and tells.
Of course they talk ...
Back from their Thanksgiving break, Kia, Misti & Ron (well, Kia & Misti) are in the holiday spirit.
Misti actually revealed how she makes holiday decorating a little "saucy" at her house - something about nudity and tree needles. Good luck erasing that from your mind's eye.
Meanwhile, is Kia considering a "winter break" from her boo because she can't handle the cold?
The trio enjoyed reveling in G...
While Kia is enjoying all the salacious Epstein email details, imagining Don servicing that "big beautiful Bill," Misti offers that she kinda found Clinton kinda hot back in the day. Suffice to say, there's plenty of fun political talk in this week's GayTLOL gathering.
Also, Caitlyn Jenner - currently broke AF - has found her love for socialism now that she needs funds from others.
Misti brought Ron a jar-sized ter...
Ron's all moved into his new place and Misti is loving the home studio upgrade, but Kia, having once lived in the building Ron's moved into, has a warning about a crazy neighbor he may have to deal with.
Then there's the question: what happened to Ron's roommate?
That's all Kia and Misti needed to gang up on Ron to crack jokes a-plenty.
Kim Davis got brushed aside by the Supreme Court so naturally the gays celebr...
Kia's back from Belize with her boo, and as Misti marveled at her glowing skin, the gays were given the lesbian skincare regimen - but neither Misti nor Ron are interested in it.
The trio discussed a lot of stuff this week - everything from Halloween costumes, Spirit Halloween costume descriptions, Misti's expensive skull and Ron's cheaper alternative, gay marriage peril in court, an upcoming gay wedding expo, cats (and...
Kia's vacationing in Belize, so it's just Misti & Ron rattling around in Ron's condo - the one he swears he's moving out of in about a week. Misti sees no progress in packing and Ron explains why that is.
He's not a packer? (snickers)
Ron revealed something truly embarrassing happened to him at a busy eatery just after the Pride parade. Let's just say he trusted a toot was "just a toot." Oops.
Mis...
It's PRIDE Week in Atlanta, so Kia, Misti & Ron each have various projects to prepare for. Kia, meanwhile, subtly let her cohosts become aware she had company while on FaceTime for the show.
It was Misti's keen eye that spotted the lovely company Kia had - and it turns out she was meal-prepping for her Atlanta bae before leaving down. We're talking salads and Mason jars.
Naturally, Misti & Ron got to talking about...
Sad news in Ron's world as his beloved 12-year old cat, Herschel, lost his battle with liver cancer, then hours later, found out his longtime friend and mentor Greg had passed, too.
Hear how Ron startled an Arby's employee with Herschel - in a carrier in the passenger seat - en route to the crematorium.
Misti, meanwhile, got c*ck-blocked - by her husband - as some hunky mountain man was about to show her his d*ck pic on his...
Kia returns from both a boring cruise (how's that even possible?) and a major GLAAD black entertainers' forum and seems more empowered than ever. Hear as she enlightens Misti & Ron on an idea she has for Atlanta.
Misti, aka "Michael," meanwhile, had a major symphony performance last weekend and gave all the details. It was Ron who shared that - in his experience anyway - the vacuum pressure in the body might cr...
Kia's off on her cruise this week, so it was just Misti & Ron fleshing out their "plan" if the country crumbles into chaos. All kidding aside, Misti thinks her past means she's stuck - but is she, really?
Somewhere along the way the concept of a "throupling" came up and it involves Ron needing a manicure.
Can one be too tired and sore (from softball) for a late-night booty call? Ron says "definit...
Kia, Misti and Ron reunite after the Labor Day off-week with a lot to catch up on!
Kia and Ron spent some Black Gay Pride time together, and before Ron's "Irish Goodbye" at MSR, he got hit on. Sort of. He had a "hole-y" encounter, which sent him scrambling. This somehow led to Misti & Kia scrutinizing Ron's Grindr profile photo choices.
Kia and Misti were commiserating over ... lawncare? This led to a...
So last week, Ron asked Kia for an update on the woman we came to know as "boo thang," the airline pilot that was the new interest in her life. The problem was, Kia was in the car for the episode, on her way to a concert with her ex in the car. Seems they'd bought the tickets long ago but still wanted to go, so go they went. Together. And Ron asked about a new woman in Kia's life.
Awkward.
Somehow, after Kia untangl...
This week, Kia was on her way to a City Winery show as Misti & Ron wandered into conversations about white stylists working on black hair. Kia, working in entertainment, had some horror stories to share.
Fresh from housesitting in a bidet-installed home, Ron revealed a near-miss attack from one of the devices. Misti felt targeted for blame after only being there for the podcast a couple hours.
Misti revealed the need for Labor ...
Ron's housesitting (with three cats, of course) for his Jewish straight friends, and lo and behold the whole house is armed with bidets! Having been "on the fence" about committing to one before, he's now convinced he can handle the room temperature water without investing in a heating element.
Misti, on the other hand, showed up having just had dinner with husband Stefan (who joined the show later) with "spi...
This week, Kia stayed home with strep throat, which led to us all having theories as to how she got it. Meanwhile, after dinner with Ron's Jewish couple friends, he decided to hop on JDate. Did we mention he's not Jewish? Not even Jew "ish."
Misti has surmised that Ron's not finding anyone to date because he doesn't give off the "looking to date" vibe, but she's also keeping count of how many ...
The show regroups to let Misti revel in not only winning a softball tournament, but her personally hitting her first-ever inside-the-park home run. With help.
Misti also revealed she has a remedy to keep herself from pooping in ballpark porta-potties. Unsure how safe it is, but she swears it works.
Ron, meanwhile, didn't play in that tournament because it was his week to have the cats - and Kia and Misti just don't get that....
The sudden passing of Malcolm Jamal-Warner, a sometimes Atlanta resident, led to Kia & Ron sharing their harrowing vacation experiences, and for Misti to realize two things: she hasn't done much and she's quite okay with that.
Kia returned from a 24-hour whirlwind trip to D.C. for a black lesbian pool party. Ron has a pool on the same floor of his condo and can't be bothered to make the short walk, but Kia will brave TSA and fl...
This is what it sounds like when three (mostly) strangers come together for dinner (as the ice-breaker) then launch a podcast and morning show for Atlanta's LGBTQIA+-focused streaming audio station, Audio GayTL.
Meet Misti Shores, Atlanta-area drag entertainer, along with Kia Barnes, Atlanta-based standup comedienne and influencer, and Audio GayTL creator (and afternoon host) Ron Roberts.
