Deanna and Rich talk with long-time Facebook friend and LAFer Rebecca Murphy about her entrapment in a cult, and how she got out. This is an old-school interview episode with lots of feels.

(CN: spoilers are discussed)

We watched a couple of movies that stirred up some feelings about the human condition and the state of the world: Black Panther and Wonder Woman. Sometimes the things that give us so much hope and make us feel motivated to see the good in the world also contrast with the darkness and despair around us. We’re trying to fight back against that darkness in our heads.

(Note: Most of my crying during those two movies were happy cries, thankfully. Also, apparently I did get the song lyrics right despite getting the melody mixed up with “Bare Necessities” from The Jungle Book. The real question is how did I even know this old song? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Qk9o_ZeR7s ~DJ)

She co-founded the Trans Podcaster Visibility Network, she is the host of the podcasts The Inciting Incident and The Cis Are Getting Out of Hand, and she produces a few other shows and helps out numerous other podcasters in many ways, including being a rad guest.

She is the author of 6 books with a 7th coming soon, as well as several screenplays. She’s now about to go in and get a Science Vagina, and we wanted to show her some love from her community to perk up her spirits, and share her go fund me and her work to perk up her bank account. You can find links to her writing and more information on her website, Rismccool.com

Okay, so before we go on, here’s a plug for Rissy’s gofundme: Operation Science Vagina Recovery She’s gonna need as much help as we can provide to get through these lean times. We donated and it would be super helpful if you can donate too, or share the link.

We were so excited to finally get to do a trans-Atlantic (or “across the pond”) interview with our friend, Bethany Turner! We learned a bunch and had an awful lot of fun.
