When people who didn't go to Catholic school think of nuns, they immediately think of the musical, the sound of music.

The comedy, The Flying Nun, or movies like Sister Act, which all have misfits trying their best to fit in a world

stacked up against them.

But in real life, there's been nuns like Janine Decker's, the singing nun with the hit

song Dominique, who struggled with drugs and debts later in life, or the women in the book

lesbian nuns breaking silence, who wrestled with their sexuality and each other.

Today, ex-nun, genderqueer, nurse, author, nerd, and comedian Kelly Dunham

joins us to talk about her life as a nun.

What drew her to become a bride of Christ and what happened when the marriage was annulled.

Kelly's new comedy album, I Am Not the Gym Teacher, pokes fun at how people perceive her

non-binary gender expression where she is often mistaken for the gym teacher.

Plus how the book Lesbian Nuns Breaking Silence became a bestseller and popular with John Waters.

And going on vacation with all her gal pals to the Greek island of Lesbos.

I'm Fausta Furnos.

I'm Mark Filian.

And this is Feast of Fun.

Feast of Fun is made possible because of fierce, fabulous people just like you.

Thank you.

Before we begin, let's listen to the singing nuns disco version of Dominique that was released

in the early 80s. Check it out.

Dominique, Nick, Nick, Nick, we sound like,

simply, routeier, poor, chantant, on to show, but in all the good good
