Bawdy Storytelling

When you’re incapable of an emotional connection, can hookups fill the gap? When Nonbinary Polyamorous Storyteller Nurse Comedian Ex-Nun Kelli Dunham loses multiple partners to cancer, she looks for community in a Brooklyn LGBT Grief Support Group, and ends up loafer-deep in anonymous sex among the scrubby pines of Fire Island. Plus, Dixie talks Sex Geek Summer Camp, Bawdy in Portland and her new How to Be Bawdy virtual workshop. #GriefSex

 

“We must make love in between the bombs” - Paul Monette

And Folks, I’m still considering ending the Bawdy podcast at 300 episodes. That means there’s less than a month’s worth of episodes to go. Podcasting is a lot of work, and I’m wondering if I should put my energy to better use. Should I write a book? Start creating online courses? Sell pics of my feet?

 

If you love Bawdy, I need to hear from you. This decision will affect both of us. And if you listen, please make a One-time or Ongoing Donation to keep the Podcast going!

Here’s a review of #BawdyGotMeLaid : “Okay hear me out, THIS PERFUME IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I will probably never buy perfume from another shop.
