“To L and Back” L Word Podcast Episode 109: Listen Up

Wow Happy Monday here I am at A-Camp Pre-Camp doing this thing later than I was supposed to do it! This week we have a special treat for you: A CELEBRITY GUEST. Our very own Brittani Nichols joined me and substitute co-host Carly Usdin in the studio (aka: my bedroom) to discuss the episode in which Jenny’s college roommate comes to town to check out the tool shed and spy on Marina and her girlfriend who has two Fs in her last name. Also, Bette and Tina meet Yolanda at Dan Foxworthy’s Bananas Support Group For Distressed Future Parents, Dana tries coming out to her parents who were on Battlestar while Alice plays with a banana, and we finally experience the life-changing magic that is TWAT THE NIGHT.

A throwback picture of the early days of Autostraddle. Robin Roemer (wearing a black turtle neck and brown hair with bangs), Carly Usdin (wearing a blue button-up, short brown hair, and glasses), Riese Bernard (wearing a red t-shirt, blue sunglasses, and a blonde gay haircut), and Alex Vega (wearing a red plaid shirt and a brown very gay haircut) sit on a couch, all with their mouths excitedly agape. Carly is holding a bright orange puppet guy with glasses, teal hair, and a blue nose.

  1. There are points in this episode where I swear I can here you wiping away tears of laughter! It was very sweet.

  2. Awww that picture is so sweet. You were all so baby faced…
    But, still, those Shane opinions are just Trump_saying_wrong.gif

  3. I have to stop listening to this while I work out. It’s very hard to run when you’re laughing so hard you can’t breathe.

    Also would 100% listen to the Top Talks podcast

  5. This was really enjoyable! Also, I like Shane more on the rewatch. Like the good friend shines through but when I was a baby gay I was like, ‘it’s deeply upsetting to me that I don’t particularly want to fuck Shane.’
