Gay Today: Recent Episodes
Sara Fell
Hosts Michael Fell and Sara Turner are sad. They're sad because they are two millennial queers who know nothing about queer history or culture. So they've set out to right that wrong be becoming the sexy gay history teachers they should have had in high school.

10/29/16- This episode is a fireside chat, a get-to-know-you, a brief reprieve from the hussle and bussle. It has nothing to do with the fact that we didn't have time to bring in a topic, no. This was intentional. Enjoy!
