The Self Narrate Podcast is going on a bit of a hiatus after this episode.

Ed.

This week on the Podcast, Benny shares a really powerful story about coming to terms with who he is as a gay man. From an evening of incredible stories at the recent meetup with frank, Benny's stood out for its infusion of humor and heartbreak. This is also the first edition of Self Narrate After Dark. What does that mean? Well, "After Dark" is what we are going to be dubbing episodes that are geared towards adult audiences. We normally try to keep our stories at a PG rating, but sometimes a story incorporates more adult themes or language and it would be a disservice to censor them and a worse disservice to not feature the story for that content. So if explicit content isn't for you, you may want to skip Self Narrate's After Dark episodes.
