Hello everyone. It is I, Lauren, the producer and editor of the shindig, here to give you a few

show notes before we get into today's episode. First of all, as I'm sure you are aware,

we record this podcast remotely due to the pandemic. Carly and Reese usually have their

normal setups and we usually just make it work with whatever equipment our guests have.

But in today's episode, we have Aaron Sullivan as a guest. Yay.

Aaron is actually Reese's housemate, so she just recorded it in real life, in person with Reese.

But in an unusual twist, we did have a bit of a tech issue with Carly's audio.

Something happened during the recording and we had to use the backup file, which does indeed

sound like Carly is a couple miles away or maybe in a bathtub or something. I don't know.

I tried my best to make it work to make it as present and clear as possible, so you can enjoy this episode.

But we just wanted to give you a solid heads up.

Second of all, during this episode, you'll hear mention of a podcast called Who Killed Jenny Schechter, which is a scripted comedy podcast created by today's guest, Aaron Sullivan.

And another queer you should definitely

know about named Grace Perry. Yours truly did do the music and sound design, but that is not

why I'm promoting this podcast. I'm promoting it because it is truly one of the funniest podcasts

I have ever listened to. If you love this show or you love the L Word or you hate to love the L Word or whatever,

it is honestly required listening. It is so, so funny.

Here is a quick little taste.

March 8, 2009, West Hollywood, California.

A young lesbian is found dead in a pool in a lavish,

recently renovated home. That dead young woman in the pool, you ask? Writer, director, executive

producer, and carnival fetishist, Jennifer Jenny Schechter.
