By: Mike Straw

We're all human. Nobody is more human or less human than anyone else. Yet each person's humanity is wonderfully unique. Unfortunately, people who are different from what some consider the norm in sexual and gender identities and practices, or sometimes seen as perverts, or worse, were all real humans though, and we have the same thoughts, feelings and desires as any other human. The Human Tapestry Podcast is a weekly series of interviews where we explore the rich tapestry of humanity through gender, sexuality, relationships, and sexual practices. Each week I'll talk to one or more people about their identities...

This week, I’m talking with SafferMaster and Lady Petra, a cisgender, straight, and very kinky couple who live in a full-time power exchange relationship, and hosts of the Kinky Cocktail Hour podcast.

Today, I’m talking with Kristina, a queer, black, sexual assault survivor who’s been married to a straight, white man for 17 years.

Today, I’m talking with Mark, another person I talked to about four years ago during my Intersections project. If you haven’t heard that interview yet, you can hear it in last week’s From the Vault episode, along with Leandra Vane.

This week, I’m talking with Amanda VanderBroek, who I interviewed about four years ago under her pen name: Leandra Vane.

From the Vault: Leandra and Mark

04/26/2021

You may have noticed a shift in the music. Since I’ve moved editing platforms, I didn’t want to take the music from the creators on my old platform, so I found this nice song: Innovation by Jon Sib. I know it’s just for the background, but I hope you like it. I’ve been fortunate toContinue reading "From the Vault: Leandra and Mark"

If you’ve listened to this podcast for a little while, it may end up looking and sounding a little different, because I’m trying a new editing platform that allows for something I’ve wanted to set up for a while: transcripts! The edits may be a little off as I adapt, but if this works out,Continue reading "Max"

It’s been a while! Running a podcast in your spare time can be a challenge sometimes, and work and life commitments got in the way for a bit, but the guests I interviewed still deserve to be heard! A couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by Clive and Julianna, who wanted to have meContinue reading "Clive and Julianna"

Last week, you heard my conversation with Doctor Robyn. Today, we’re going back in the vault to hear the Intersections interview with them four years ago. It was the second interview I’d ever done, so it was a little rough, but it was a thrill to talk with them and learn so much about genderContinue reading "From the Vault: Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espizona"

I’m still working out some of the hiccups with the podcast posting to the cloud, but I had to make sure to get this episode out today: the day after National Coming Out Day. That’s because I had a chance to catch up again with Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espinoza. We talked four years ago during myContinue reading "Dr. Robyn"
