Summary

In this week’s episode, Tuck speaks with storyteller Morgan Givens (he/him), creator of the critically acclaimed Flyest Fables podcast. Topics include:

What nobody tells you about testosterone
Becoming a Black man in America
Telling a live audience about your junk
Being your own trans role model
Cops?!
Is that how you spell pizza?

Plus: Morgan gives a five-minute talk about "objectivity" that I want to play on loop in every newsroom in the country.
