115 Preamble Series 1of6: A More Perfect Union

Programming Note: starting next week, we’ll begin releasing
episodes on Wednesdays (instead of Tuesdays)
NOTE for anyone listening in the future who won't know what "the
fly" is that we're talking about. On 10/7/20, during the Vice
Presidential debate, a fly landed on Mike Pence's hair and stayed
there for 2 minutes and 9 seconds while everyone watching went nuts
on social media. Jokes about: flies on s***, on corpses, on being a
sign of the devil, and more. It was probably a ‘you had to be
there’ moment, but trust us, it was a hoot. Just another absurdity
in the year that is/was 2020.
a weird source of stress-relief for Siena
how the Preamble to the Constitution can help you flatten the COVID
curve:
reciting the Preamble takes about 20 seconds (the recommended time
to scrub with soap, in order to wash your hands effectively)
E Pluribus Unum = Out of Many, One
the beautiful and amazing diversity of We The People
the precious thing we all have in common, which is
the desire to live a fulfilled life
why “just be yourself” can make you feel worse
how tension between things is at the heart of everything

Our intention has always been to uplift, entertain, and encourage
people, especially fellow LGBTQers and progressive allies around
the world, ever since we first started podcasting in 2007.
Over the years, we’ve continued to get messages from listeners
who’ve shared how it’s helped them through difficult times, like
coming out, rejection from family, dealing with religion, or living
in the closet, helping them feel more understood, less alone, and
just kept them going, reminding them and showing them, that life is
worthwhile.
That’s exactly why we do it.
We managed to self-finance the podcast since 2007. For 13
years!
But now, we’re extending an invitation, and a way for you, the
listener, to play a part in supporting it. See all kinds of ways to
support the pod at https://sienaandtoast.com/contribute
Thank you for your consideration.
