Before we get to this episode, I want to let you know that our fellow Radio Tapio

show Adolthish is back with their new ninth season. Adolthish is the award-winning,

This season will feature stories and insights of cannabis,

self-love shams, the joy of drag, and holding grudges.

The show is produced by YR Media and hosted by Dominique aka Dom French and Nige Turner.

every Thursday, starting April 20th.
