A Minnesota Trans-Atheist
This episode I sit down via Skype with radio host, author, speaker, organizer, and activist Stephanie Zvan. Stephanie has been a major impact on my life through her friendship, her writing, and her ability to bring people together in an effort to improve the world. I'm grateful to have the chance to chat with her one on one, across a variety of topics from Minnesota Atheists to the conferences she has organized and some behind the scenes radio stuff. I hope you enjoy this conversation.

This episode features an interview with a really fun punk band from the Pacific Northwest, Slurm Flirty Worm. Slurm's drummer and back up vocalist (Abbi) is trans, and a listener local to Slurm helped connect Abbi and I. The whole band, Abbi, Michael, & Zakk are awesome, and I had a lot of fun chatting with them about how they got their name, what kind of music they play, and of course which hot pockets are the best hot pockets.

Quick Episode Summary
- 01:45 Thanks Rex!
- 02:35 Mad Max & Men's Rights
- 07:34 Transition Transmission Interview
- 67:17 Music by The Y Axes
This interview was recorded WAY back in January, the same day as I recorded The Web of Queer interview.
I interviewed Amber, Ramona, and Alexandria, the transgender trio who make up the transition transmission podcast way back in January. Yeah, that was almost 6 months ago. If you listen to transgender podcasts, you know like this one, you probably already know who Transition Transmission are, and most likely already listen. And if you listen to this show, you’ve already heard one of their hosts here, back on episode 18, Amber Meador author of the speculative fiction book Otherselves, which was nominated for a Lamda award in transgender fiction.
Alexandria, Ramona, and Amber make a great team, providing a range of opinions on topics and news in the transgender community, not always agreeing with another, and not always agreeing with the trans agenda that is annually supplied by the trans cabal.
Transition Transmission is first and foremost entertaining, but along the way these girls educate, opine, and have super awesome guests.
I can’t thank them enough for their patience, and for allowing me the chance to chat with them here, in the past, and hopefully again in the future.

Musical guest for this episode is The Y Axes
The Y Axes hang out in the San Francisco area, and in the past have been wrongly labeled the future of pop music, when they are in actuality pop music from the future, at least that’s their claim, and I’d rather just enjoy their music than sit around and ponder the reality of that claim.
If you are curious as to what their bio page says about them, let me read it to you. San Francisco’s The Y Axes are a unique amalgam of anachronistic sound. Drawing influence from a myriad era of popular and esoteric music to craft a fun original style. Lush synths, technical guitar, and groovy rhythms help dive their quirky compelling stories about coming of age in chaos and finding love in the direst of situations. The Y Axes are pop for music nerds.

Oh, and just in case anyone was missing it, a really bad joke for you!
What do you call a sunken ship anxiously awaiting discovery?
A Nervous Wreck!
Yeah that was a shippy joke - I mean it really sunk!
(people actually put up with me in real life - can you believe it!)
