Angeli Luz was 18 years old when she sat down to research, pen, and post the “Am I A Lesbian?” Masterdoc. Over a decade later, her work has withstood the test of time having reached millions of readers worldwide. The Lesbian Master Doc, for those that don’t already know, is a 30 page research paper asking the question that Angeli herself was parsing out at the time: How do I know if I'm a lesbian? What is the difference between actual attraction and compulsory heterosexuality (comphet) fostered by the world around us? In conversation, Angeli discusses: -the story behind the creation of ...

Why GenX Retirement Is Harder Than Boomers or MillennialsGenX retirement was supposed to be simple: work hard, save consistently, retire comfortably. Yeah... about that.In this episode of Queer Money, we break down why GenX retirement feels so much harder than what boomers often describe and what millennials get all the headlines for. For many Gen Xers, especially gay Gen X men, retirement planning has been shaped by market crashes, the shift from pensions to 401(k)s, rising debt, mortgage pressure, and a culture that told us to figure it all out ourselves. In other words, classic GenX: no map...

A YMCA conversation in Black Mountain turns into a surprisingly deep look at what makes a town feel like home. I sit down with David Carter Florence, associate pastor at Black Mountain Presbyterian Church, and we trace his winding path from the Shenandoah Valley to seminary, teaching, chaplaincy, and finally ministry in Western North Carolina. The more we talk, the clearer it gets that “community” isn’t a slogan for him, it’s a set of habits: show up, partner well, and do the next tangible thing that helps someone else breathe easier.We get specific about local service and stewardship,...

In this episode we head out to find lost stones from a church built in the 1400s which are now scattered across the city. When the church was demolished to make way for Waverley Station, the Council left stones piled on Calton Hill for 30 years.

Join me with historians, Hetty Lancaster and Jill Harrison as I learn more about the church, the stones and we head out to see what we can find. The podcast starts at the church built with only a third of the original stones, The ...

License plates for e-bikes sound...ridiculous. Imagine: DMV trips, new fees, insurance quotes, and a bigger wall between people and the cheapest form of electric transportation in the US. With gas prices climbing and more riders looking for alternatives to driving, we dig into why some states are moving in the opposite direction and what that could mean for e-bike adoption, affordability, and climate goals. We start with New Jersey’s newly passed law, which combines registration, plates, licensing requirements, and insurance expectations, plus a shift away from the familiar three-class ...

Modern chess didn’t just appear out of thin air—it had a dramatic rebirth in 15th-century Valencia. Here, a slow, plodding game was supercharged with bold new moves, and the queen took center stage. In this episode of AH Spain Poco a Poco, we dive into how a city buzzing with Renaissance energy helped reinvent the game forever. It’s a story of poetry, power, and play that changed the way the world thinks about chess.
