Episode 35: Joel Alone 1 - Discussing Anti-Trans Talking Points

<p>Well it finally happened. Naomi went off on vacation without Joel, leaving him alone to defend the house from comedic intruders. Will he have time in-between fashioning improvised and  frighteningly deadly traps to record a podcast episode by himself, or will Christmas (fine, the week of January 3rd) be ruined?   <br/><br/>Joel chats this week about anti-trans rhetoric, responses to common attacks against trans people, and the media ecosystem surrounding trans rights, all in one take. Look, if <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIxMMv_LD5Q'>Birdman</a> can get Oscar hype for shooting a whole 2 hour movie in one take, doing an hour-long podcast episode in one should be worth something. (in all seriousness, Birdman is awesome. Go see it) <br/><br/><a href='https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/homemade-eggnog/'>Here&apos;s</a> a good eggnog recipe.
