Join the TL crew as we discuss pride icon and queen of disco, Donna Summer! We learn about her highs in music - spanning 4 different genres, her “wacky Christian phase” & dark pitter patter, and her reconciliation with the gay community. Take note of our pick for a Sunday night tune, a beer that reminds us of a childhood favorite, and best of all, hear the whole crew sing their favorite DS tunes. Get ready to add some Donna Summer ...
You knew it was coming! The theme for season three is Queer Joy and it’s June, so that means we have to discuss Pride! The crew dives into their most memorable Pride moments (for better or worse).

Cheers, queers!
Tune in as we discuss the Netflix series Heartstopper! We discuss our favorite characters and our not-so-favorite nostalgic moments. Alyx dubs tumblr the “twitter of emo’s” and Linsey retells a story from high school that was a little too familiar to a Heartstopper plot line. This is the crew’s first ever remote recording and they can’t stop singing about it (even if the words are wrong.) But really, this series has some of us feel...
Uh oh…Kye really took it too far this time, but its Alyx's fault. Welcome back to part 2 of our Purple Rain discussion! Think you can guess our favorite songs from the movie? It's probably not that difficult. Somehow, a line is drawn directly between Daft Punk and one song in particular from Purple Rain. Also, allow us to plug the Lavender Queer Spring Edition one last time before print. Cheers!
In this episode we discover a beer that reminds Alyx of her grandpa’s basement…in a good way! If you haven’t seen Purple Rain the movie, it might be a good time to check it out, come back, and listen to us break down the Kid’s behavior patterns. We dig into the Minnetonka Lake scene, how ‘I Would Die 4 U’ originated, how not to say Apollonia (amongst other names,) and discover Prince’s sneaky way of getting his freak on with his cr...
Look, it’s kinda been a long time coming - the Toasted Lavender crew embraces the stereotypes. Listen in to our discussion about art, queer creativity, and a very special pandemic project that benefits our community’s queer artists. Big shout out this week to Friar Tuck’s Barbershop for providing Alyx’s queer joy!
Pay it no mind…we’re talking about Marsha P. Johnson today, or that was the plan at least. Kye leads the way as we discuss queer representation and the question of “Who owns the narrative?”. Turns out, we’re not the people who get to tell Marsha’s story, and we’re ok with that. Instead, please join us as we figure out moments that brought us our own Queer Joy™. Stick around for the outro because we make a special mention of our...
Welcome to our discussion about the holiday traditions of our youth and how they impacted the way we celebrate as adults. We break down our typical stocking haul, favorite Xmas movies and music, and explore the idea of buying your spouse a vehicle as a gift without their knowledge. The Toasted Lavender crew try to figure out their boundaries during the holiday season. Highlights include homemade pajamas, Christmas puzzles, and a ...
In this episode we learn what it means to finally find your person, and the importance of expressing who you truly are. We are so thankful that Eden and Devi could join us during the stressful holiday season and share their story! Learn about our new favorite mantra: Pants, Jeans, T-Shirt or button up. Trigger warning: we discuss sexual trauma at about 8:30 through the end of this episode. We hope you all enjoy your holiday seas...
We’re so excited to bring you a special interview episode with our pals Taylor Knuth and Sean Bishop of Ogden. We asked them to share their story and answer a few holiday related questions, but mostly we discussed Ogden’s Marshall N. White Center and how you can help by educating yourself and showing up for your community. Go ahead and count how many times we mention Polly Pocket in this episode, it’s more than you think. Big thank...
In part 2 of our exploration of queer icon Prince, we explore three more albums: Dirty Mind, Controversy, and 1999. Can you guess who on the crew didn’t know that 1999 didn’t debut in the year of its namesake? Learn about Lisa’s affinity for breathy moans and what caused her to remember that she had an invisible friend as a child. Alyx is out to lunch while we dig into a problematic and incesty Prince song. Someone tells Mick Jagge...

We dive headfirst into the life and art of Prince Rogers Nelson; The Purple One; The Artist Formerly Known as Prince.

Happy Halloween! Celebrate the spooky season with the TL crew as we share all our Halloween favorites! From candy & costumes, to movies and memories from Halloween’s past.
