Lauren Eileen has just published a vital and tender LGBTQIA+ inclusive book for kids, but I met her long before this milestone. Her journey into identity —&nbsp;navigating her college years not yet out of the closet, running away and becoming a club kid in Miami in the roaring ‘90s, life as a not-yet-out suburban wife and mother in the 2000s, and then fully owning her world at age 45 as an out-and-proud lesbian, mom, writer and advocate —&nbsp;is an inspiration. Those stories and more. So pleased and proud to shine a light on her spirit —&nbsp;this is 'All Your Days'.Clips in this episode:<ol><li><a href="https://music.apple.com/us/album/how-to-make-friends/1603388110?i=1603388119" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How To Make Friends (James O'Brien, 'All Your Days' - 2022)</a></li><li><a href="https://music.apple.com/us/album/whirlpool/1403019702?i=1403019703" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Whirlpool (James O'Brien, 'Careful in the Future' - 2018)</a></li><li><a href="https://music.apple.com/us/album/after-the-glitter-fades/1603388110?i=1603388121" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">After the Glitter Fades (James O'Brien, 'All Your Days' - 2022)</a></li></ol>

Dan Bern (Part 1 of 2: Biographies and Apocrypha)

With a focus on musicians, writers, artists, and more, these are the true stories of how lives get lived, careers get made (and undone), and more. These are the liner notes to memory. Early days. Twists of fate. Vanishing acts. Resurrections. Survival. All our tomorrows.
