Alphabet Club is a queer storytelling podcast where every other week I, hey, I'm Shannon Beverage,

will curate a personal essay by someone in our community, stories about desire, heartbreak,

gender, sex, friendship, family, and becoming. I've spent over 10 years telling my story online,

on YouTube, on podcasts, in essays, in public.

Shut up, Shannon.

Now I want to hear yours and help turn our shared or unique queer experiences into community.

This show is an opportunity to have people that you love in the queer community come and tell

their stories, but I also want to hear your stories.

So this is an open submission podcast.

It's open right now if you're listening.

Real, real stories told by real, real people.

I don't know how to scissor.

Like, mechanically.

You guys are gay.

Oh my God, I'm a whore. That's how I ended up at a BDSM retreat in Palm Springs one weekend. After the reading, we sit with it together. We talk about what it brings up, what it reflects back to us. Dreaming of a world where it's just not a thing. We just get to live. Yeah, me too. That sounds great. What the fuck are you talking about? This is the

craziest thing I have ever heard in my life. We're just like, y'all. I mean, a little more fabulous,

but. And I think it's going to be a good time. So subscribe. Stick around. It's a new

show. Say me. Fortunately or unfortunately. Thanks for being here and welcome to the Alphabet Club.
