Episode 66: Cheer Up: Love and PomPoms by Crystal Frasier, Val Wise, and Oscar O. Jupiter
b'
The kids are alright and all here to discuss Cheer Up: Love and PomPoms- a poignant, touching, and contemporary look at trans lives and why they are important to read about. The squad (see what I did there? Get it? Cuz the book is about cheerleading?...) also mentions other contemporary issues such as the Ukrainian Conflict, Public Safety (and safe words!), and of course, awesome indie comics.
