About this listen

 We're now Ranting Out Loud! Gay romance author Lee Swift and pop culture aficionado Chadrick Douglas join Producer Mike to bring you lively conversations about LGBTQ+ life as we fall in and out of all kinds of trouble – you know: life, work, people, iPhones. See the world through big rainbow-colored glasses. Come join us and explore all things mind-blowing, funny, annoying, frightening and gay ... even if you're all or none of that! Please note that the adult language and opinions, suggestions and bad humor are exclusively that of the hosts and no one else. But we could use some company, so join in!2025 Kris Cook Art

  • Fireworks, Flags and F***! Is He Still Alive?

    Fireworks, Flags and F***! Is He Still Alive?
    Jul 4 2025

    Happy Fourth of July! The Ranting Out Loud crew dives into the messy politics of patriotism, from debating when it’s safe to fly the American flag (without looking MAGA) to reclaiming national pride for the LGBTQ+ community. Producer Mike, Lee, and Chadrick share their thoughts on everything from fireworks-induced chaos to the evolving symbolism of the stars and stripes.

    Plus, we celebrate anniversaries (congrats, Chadrick!), plug Lee’s upcoming YouTube series (Morvicti Execution is coming!), and take detours into millennial saints, political shake-ups, and the importance of reaching Gen Z voters. End your Fourth of July with a bang (and not the artillery-shell kind) as we unpack the quirks of our country with humor, heart, and a side of sass.

  • I Love A Parade!

    I Love A Parade!
    Jun 27 2025

    This week, the Ranting Out Loud crew dissects the ultimate parade fail—think fewer crowds, less flair, and squeaky tank wheels heard ‘round the world. Lee, Chadrick, and Producer Mike recap the hilarity and cringe-worthy moments of the so-called “show of strength” and the ironic juxtaposition of the No Kings protests, which turned out to be the real celebration.

    From military marches lacking precision to Texas-sized solidarity in unexpected places, this episode serves up commentary with a side of snark. Plus, we dive into celebrity classiness (looking at you, Michelle Obama), Broadway buzz (yes, Jinkx Monsoon is taking over O Mary), and Lee’s upcoming YouTube debut in the Morvicti universe.

  • I Never Promised You a Rose Garden ... With Actual Roses

    I Never Promised You a Rose Garden ... With Actual Roses
    Jun 20 2025

    This week, the Ranting Out Loud crew tackles the chaos of Friday the 13th and beyond, with Lee, Chadrick, and Producer Mike sharing their juju-filled tales—from black cats and bad luck to theater gossip and political absurdities.

    We’ll dive into the spectacle of the Tony Awards, celebrate Broadway’s brightest (looking at you, Cole Escola!), and unpack the Kennedy Center drama involving drag queens and empty seats for a certain ex-president. Plus, we rant about Trump’s Mar-a-Lago-inspired Rose Garden remodel and explore the Grammys’ very white “Traditional Country” category. #ConcreteGarden #ROL #RantingOutLoud
