“To L and Back” L Word Podcast Episode 109: Listen Up

Wow Happy Monday here I am at A-Camp Pre-Camp doing this thing later than I was supposed to do it! This week we have a special treat for you: A CELEBRITY GUEST. Our very own Brittani Nichols joined me and substitute co-host Carly Usdin in the studio (aka: my bedroom) to discuss the episode in which Jenny’s college roommate comes to town to check out the tool shed and spy on Marina and her girlfriend who has two Fs in her last name. Also, Bette and Tina meet Yolanda at Dan Foxworthy’s Bananas Support Group For Distressed Future Parents, Dana tries coming out to her parents who were on Battlestar while Alice plays with a banana, and we finally experience the life-changing magic that is TWAT THE NIGHT.

A throwback picture of the early days of Autostraddle. Robin Roemer (wearing a black turtle neck and brown hair with bangs), Carly Usdin (wearing a blue button-up, short brown hair, and glasses), Riese Bernard (wearing a red t-shirt, blue sunglasses, and a blonde gay haircut), and Alex Vega (wearing a red plaid shirt and a brown very gay haircut) sit on a couch, all with their mouths excitedly agape. Carly is holding a bright orange puppet guy with glasses, teal hair, and a blue nose.


Autostraddle cannot exist without the generous support of our readers. We're running the fundraiser through March 29th! We're out of immediate danger...but we had to ask...what if we could survive for longer? Will you help?

  1. This was really enjoyable! Also, I like Shane more on the rewatch. Like the good friend shines through but when I was a baby gay I was like, ‘it’s deeply upsetting to me that I don’t particularly want to fuck Shane.’
