E374 A Big Queer Door and The Mulberry Bush of the Year
It's episode 374 and are technical issues bringing us closer together?

Then Christine covers the more recent Polish case of Krystian Bala. And has Em just dubbed Christine the "Princess of Pronouns"? ...and that's why we drink! We wrote a second book!
