Podcast appearances and mentions of Joanna C Valente

This episode stars Joanna C. Valente (A Love Story, Yes, Poetry, Luna Luna Magazine). It was recorded over the Zoom between the This Podcast Will Change Your Life home studio in Chicago, IL and Valente's home in New York (not Yonkers sadly) in September 2021. 

Non-binary poet, writer, and visual artist Joanna C. Valente joins the show to discuss the journey they took to becoming an artist, why the rhythmic and dramatic qualities of poetry make it the perfect medium for them, and how being vulnerable and authentic in their work has helped people close to them learn to better accept their Queerness. On WTF, "he who shall not be named" makes a return appearance as the hosts discuss his absurd new social media platform, TRUTH Social, which failed in record time. Shakesha asks Ryan for a funny bad date story and shares one of her own.
