    Pride Advice episode--this time with Levity!
    Jun 11 2025

    It's Pride month! That means it's time for our annual dispensing of queer advice, for the queers, from the queers. This year we're getting playful and answering questions about things that are low stakes, silly, or weird. We figured if we need a reason for some extra giggles right now, you might too.


    For legal reasons please note that we are not professional advice type people! We’re just two silly queers making a podcast. Take our advice at your own risk, or whatever.


    The Patreon version of this episode contains 5 bonus questions, PLUS bonus content about our wedding rings, common/uncommon dog names, and Star Trek Voyager/the appeal of sidequests.


    🌈Find our full pride lineup here!

    We’ve got some really cool Patreon offers this month:

    Join our Patreon before June 30th at the $7 or up level—or upgrade your tier if you’re already a Patron—and get an Extremely Cool postcard in the mail, hand-printed, personalized, and signed by Lark!

    Join our sticker club before June 30th and get a bonus sticker!


    Find our Doctor Who episodes here and here!
