That Time of the Month

Hey everyone! Yes, we know we're off schedule, but we're workin' on it! In this episode we mainly give you a run down of the recent Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift twitter "brouhaha". Talking points also include same-sex marriage and what we can do from here on out as a part of or as an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, as well as notify listeners to make themselves aware of #whathappenedtosandrabland.
