White Noise | Episode 250

Harmful and harmless trash best characterizes this week's news. We react to Trump's 99 min address to Congress and the ways the Democrats "resisted". Shana (bravely) recaps Love is Blind and we discuss Cynthia Ervio's night at the Oscars as well as her being named a headliner for World Pride.

Later in the show, we explain when it's ok to avoid coming out to a family member and if pretty privilege should excuse another queer person's ignorance. Plus why you should never judge a stud by her past.
