    It’s within gay culture that promotes jadedness
    I’ve never hid my sexuality and must think I’m straight and I’ve felt more hatefulness from gay people than outsiders - trauma seems to keep building up
  • MatiusDaninus
    A Slightly Jaded Gay Review
    First of all, I absolutely love Rob’s podcast! The range of topics he touches on in each episode are things that we within the LGBTQ+ community can benefit and learn from, especially our history that’s often overlooked by mainstream society. The well-being topics he discusses are relevant because we all have *trauma* that we don’t know we have, and they’ve helped me in my therapy sessions. Lastly, this podcast is awesome to feel more connected with the community if one lives in an area which doesn’t have a large LGBTQ+ population. I highly recommend this podcast!

    The Podcast Every LGBTQ Person Needs
    Rob’s podcast has been a wonderful space for learning and conversation. The topics he discusses each week are thoroughly researched, insightful and provides a great opportunity for everyone to grow in their own knowledge and opinions. This podcast is a great resource for everyone in the LGBTQ community wherever they are at on their journey. From history to current events and topics that are important to our community, Rob gives a wonderful presentation and provides a safe space for everyone.
  • Taos Artist
    Thank you!
    Rob creates a safe space with intimacy, vulnerability and authenticity for conversations about a spectrum of topics for gay men. I always feel like I’ve learned something after every episode!

    I’m def jaded
    I know I’m jaded and I hate it. This isn’t the person I wanted to be, and Rob breaks down the issues that a lot of gay men have. From relationships with ourselves, others, social stigma, trauma, depression, anxiety, and many other issues. I love the tarot reading as well, because it is helping me understand what the cards mean and how to read them.

    An Lgbtq+ Masterpiece!
    Rob knows his materiel and delivers it amazingly. The episodes are quick and to the point yet contain SO MUCH knowledge and information. It’s not a surface level pod, it’s not just about the pretty side of things. It goes deeper and shows the ugliness out there. This is a great pod for any new lgbtq+ member to understand our history, our present, and the steps needed for a better future! Also Rob is hilarious! I am obsessed with this show!!!!!!!!
  • SamJo STL
    The Pod that started it all #nonjaded
    This Pod and the topics Rob covers was the drop of water that kicked off a journey for me that has had a profound ripple effect. Getting insight to gay micro traumas, people pleasing, perfectionism, vulnerability, community, codependency and internalized homophobia; helped me to put words to what I was experiencing. In addition, take action by seeking out a queer affirming life coach. Rob delivers a powerful message that is insightful and entertaining, I enjoy the tie in to tarot. Most of all will be for ever grateful!!
  • Rob F W
