Impure Thoughts

Episode #11: Joy Brooker-Part 2

And we’re back for part 2 of my conversation with Joy! In this episode we discussing the importance of finding a romantic partner to mesh with in the bedroom, the great wonders of female physiology, and how a little mix-up at a classmate’s funeral stopped her evangelizing adventures for good.

Episode #10: Joy Brooker- Part 1

This month’s episode is Joy Brooker. Joy is a lovely person and social media content creator I’ve known for many years. In this episode we talk about her upbringing below the Mason-Dixon Line, how her father’s infidelity led to her family burning all her favorite music and movies, and her struggle with vaginismus. CW: This episode contains descriptions of sexual violence that may be triggering to some listeners. Discretion is advised.

Episode #9: Chris Cyr

This month’s guest is another one of my favorite comedians on the comedy scene, Chris Cyr! We talk about lots of growing up in nondenominational churches, including one that had the most controlling pastor I’ve ever heard of. Then we kinda sound off on our mutual love for fundamentalist whack jobs on social media, including my online nemesis, the Transformed Wife. It’s quite a fun episode.

Episode #8: Jay H.

Jay H. is my first ex-Mormon guest on the podcast and I was so excited to chat with her. We not only have shared experiences in purity culture but also other unique experiences that not a whole lot of people understand. We also try to answer the following questions: Are there automatically daddy issues going on when a girl crushes on Tom Selleck or could mustaches just be aesthetically appealing? How fun is it to get the sex talk from your mom with your stepdad in the room? And finally, what do you do when your boyfriend gets sent to juvie for doing the horrible crime of having sex before marriage ?

Episode #7: Whitney Z.

Whitney is a nice non-binary human being who agrees to be on my podcast. She said it was ok for me to use feminine pronouns today and also she has some shit to say about purity culture. We talk about fun things like moms critiquing our bodies and being self-conscious, being in love with your best friend at summer camp and not knowing it, and of course, creepy youth pastors.
