This is a show for non-cis people by non-cis people. Two poly transpeople, to be specific. Marissa Alexa McCool and Ari Stillman get together about all the cis things going on without taking their feelings into consideration. If this bothers you, consider how many places we have to do that in comparison to you. We won't be fair, we won't be rational, and we won't make any effort to be impartial, objective, or deferential. This is mostly for us to have a place with no people to tell us "not all..."

Marissa Alexa McCool, Ari Stillman, Eli Dadabhoy

    Ivy Insights

    The Cis Are Getting Out of Hand! podcast is an absolute delight for listeners who are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the experiences and perspectives of the transgender community. Hosted by Marissa and Xavier, this podcast offers a unique blend of intelligence, compassion, and humor that is sure to captivate any reasonable person, regardless of their background or beliefs.

    One of the standout aspects of this podcast is its impeccable comedic timing. The hosts have a natural talent for delivering jokes that leave listeners in stitches. Whether it's through witty banter or hilarious skits, they never fail to bring laughter to their audience. This ability to infuse humor into serious discussions surrounding transgender issues helps create a comfortable and engaging atmosphere for listeners.

    Another commendable aspect of The Cis Are Getting Out of Hand! is its inclusivity. With one host being non-binary and the other showing utmost respect for non-binary individuals, this podcast ensures that all voices are heard and respected. It's refreshing to see discussions touching on enby topics, providing a well-rounded representation of transgender experiences. For trans individuals who may face dysphoria in social situations, this podcast serves as a safe space where they can let their guard down.

    While it's challenging to find any major flaws with this podcast, one potential drawback could be the occasional repetition or reiteration of basic concepts surrounding transgender issues. Some listeners who are already familiar with Trans 101 topics might feel like they're covering ground they've already traversed numerous times. However, it's important to note that these explanations are valuable for cisgender individuals who may not have prior knowledge or experience on the subject.

    In conclusion, The Cis Are Getting Out of Hand! is an outstanding podcast that manages to educate and entertain simultaneously. Its intelligent discussions coupled with compassionate storytelling make it not only enjoyable but also enlightening for listeners from all walks of life. Marissa and Xavier have created an exceptional platform where cis and transgender individuals can come together, learn from one another, and foster understanding. This podcast is a must-listen for anyone seeking to broaden their perspectives and gain insight into the transgender community.

    DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO MIDMARAIS? An AudioplayIn 1994, a young student named Morgan takes over as a lighthouse keeper on Elk Island, far out in the Boundary Waters of Northern Minnesota. Their partner Elsinore is supportive of their decision to leave school and take this job, but Elsinore is hopeful they can convince their introverted other half to return to Midmarais High School just one more time for the Prom. However, strange things are happening in the north. Ominous warnings of a storm, a sudden interest in ghost towns, and even sightings of Ambrose, the seemingly-vaudevillian ghost keeper have been reported. And, of course, why is it so important that the lighthouse must be lit every single night, despite there being nothing bigger than a fishing boat most of the time on the waters surrounding Elk Island? Travel beyond boundaries in this vaporwave journey, with the sardonic citizenry we meet along the way. CASTMorgan - Marissa McCoolElsinore - Bernard NaaszPrincipal Keeper - Eric HannaDevi - Melissa MacDonaldMr. Bixler - Stuart SpurllLance - Don Ford, Jr.Jeremy - Tony OpeltDonnie - Eli DadabhoyMikey - Steve ShivesDora - Laura Creek NewmanAmbrose - Don Ford, Jr.Assistant Principal - L.E.

Chris and Victoria find themselves in the mall they worked in as teenagers, stuck in the same snowed-in day in 1998 that never ends. The Evergreen Glen Mall, or as it's known on the other side, it's the EverMall!Their old friends are back, as are stores they thought long gone. Mall information is vague and cryptic. Their coworkers seem content to stay there forever. Their case manager is too busy swiping right on straight guys who manage to not have a dead fish in their profile. And there's something ominous and creepy about that Things Recalled store. No one's ever in there, but no one ever was when it was open and alive either. There has to be more to life… or whatever… than this, right? Is anyone else out there?WRITTEN BYMarissa McCool, Don Ford, Jr., Eric HannaEDITED AND CAST BYMarissa McCoolCASTVICTORIA - Marissa McCoolCHRIS - Don Ford, Jr.CLAIRE - Amy WithawhyELLE - Bernard NaaszWASHBURN - Asdis KarsbarnMANDY - Ari StillmanDON - Tony OpeltEMERSON - Eric HannaDEAD MALL URBEXER - Eric HannaCONDUCTOR - Gem NewmanHAROLD - Tony OpeltBARBARA - Tony OpeltTICKET TAKER - Laura Creek NewmanTHERESA - Jodi RehlanderJULIAN - Jonathon RehlanderAD READ NARRATORS - Don Ford, Jr., Tony OpeltMUSICPlaylist of all music here: https://youtu.be/VA8Jbs6_GqA?si=_LZnHYz1crHeFe6yAll credit for music belongs to the artists.
