Episode 36: A Hundred Degrees in the Shade

On this Week’s Episode: A heat wave in the midwest. Climate change is real. Growing up without air conditioning. Bomb threats at libraries. Anti-queer hate crimes. And local outrage addicts pick up the pitchforks and go after an art teacher for … being queer? Exercising their First Amendment rights? Criticizing the police? Being a “satanist”? Having had mental health issues several years ago? Who knows, but it doesn’t add up.

Also … a little Irish hip hop for good measure? Why not.

Update on the art teacher controversy: Since recording this episode, the local school district fired the teacher for reasons that are less than clear. We’ll have more information — and more questions — on next week’s episode.

So, anyway, please enjoy this week’s episode, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments, and, as always, support the rights of LGBTQIA people everywhere! And follow us on Twitter at @itsotetPodcast.
