We discuss everything from prejudice to politics to police violence, and we try to give you the tools to create positive change in your home, workplace, and social circles. We're going to learn how to become better allies to each other. So join us each Saturday

for Civic Cipher on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

This is Sex, Lies, and Spray Tans with me, Cheryl Burke, and IHeart Radio podcast.

Hey guys, welcome back to Sex, Slides and Spray Tans.

Leah Thompson is a beloved actress.

I'm just going to get right into it.

And she's also a director whose career spans decades,

captivating audiences with her performances in iconic films,

who doesn't know back to the future,

and some kind of wonderful. Born and raised in Minnesota, Leah's early years in ballet laid the foundation for her future in Hollywood.

A mother of two talented daughters and wife to director Howard Deutsch, Leah, also charmed viewers as a

contestant on your favorite dance show, Dancing with the Stars.

I'm thrilled to welcome the incredible Leah Thompson to the podcast.

Welcome to Sex Lives and Spray Tans. Leah, it's been over a decade.

Really? Oh my God.

Yes. It's been over a decade. And I will never forget it because it was my last season.

It was season 19 that

you did Dancing with the Stars and that was the season I actually I left I mean I obviously had

come back but I did go to another show over at NBC so that was um I'll never forget that time

because of just the excitement um but also the sadness, because I was leaving.

And I do remember talking to you backstage a lot.

We don't really have a lot of time on set to talk.
