Hey everybody, it's Tobin.

And Kathy, with a special mini episode of the show.

So a couple weeks ago, we had a story about a lovely guy named Joe

who really wanted to make new queer friends.

And I hoped him find a new group.

A gaggle, as it were.

But then we were like, a lot of us want to make new friends.

Why not make this a thing?

Yep.

So we created this project called How to Get a Gaggle.

You sign up, we send you a month of coaching, advice, challenges.

And almost immediately, our inbox was overflowing with messages from people all over the US.

Everywhere, Georgia, Missouri, Texas.

I mean, actually all over the world.

Australia, Germany, Taiwan.

We've heard from hundreds of lovely, lovely people.

So lovely as people.

And we couldn't wait to share some more of their stories.

So here we go.

I'm just interested in finding people who I can talk to about things that I'm experiencing

without having to explain first that, yes, I'm experiencing them.

Yes, my experience is a real one.
