Support for this show comes from Into the Mix, a Ben and Jerry's podcast about joy and justice produced with Fox Creative.

As state legislatures consider more than 500 anti-trans bills, the latest episode of Into the Mix asks,

how best to support and protect transgender youth.

Like Olioski, a young man who, despite growing up in a loving and supportive home,

felt the need for friendship with other trans and queer kids.

At just seven years old, he took initiative and built a lasting community.

Hey folks, what's coming up here is an edition of the weeds that I did with Darren Jay in live at the Texas Tribune Fest in Austin, Texas.

You know, our producer Jeff, he tells me this is the best audio we've gotten from a live show yet.

So I think you're really going to enjoy that crisp, clear sound.

Hi, welcome to another episode of the weeds, a live episode of the weeds here at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, Texas.

I'm Matthew Glacias. I'm here with Jane Kostin and Darrylyn from ProPublica.

We're really excited to be here. It's our second year at the Texas Tribune Festival.

Last year, I think we recorded a really great episode.

The best episode the weeds has ever done.

But then it didn't get recorded. But this year, we are hoping that the audio gods and Walmart will shine their blessings upon us.

I do need everyone in this room to promise that if it turns out the audio of this episode is lost, you will tell all of your friends and colleagues that we delivered the most brilliant.

Make it sound like position.

Like on a block with an excellent concert.

And you now no longer need to hear anything else about it.
