On this episode of MWS I talk to Micheal Foulk about what it was like growing up as only child with divorced parents. We exchange 'flying alone as a kid' stories and the adventures of being an unaccompanied minor flying in the 90's.

On this episode of MWS I chat with Pablo about being a boxing coach and how it serves as a great outlet for aggression. We also talk about the pressure of needing to attain a hyper masculine body in both the athletic and gay world. A golden nugget within this episode is some QUEERiculum we share when unpacking ‘queer’ and the many meanings it can have being the ambiguous term that it is!
