On Braless Watch this week, we are chatting about Clean Slate’s Season 1, which was one of the final projects produced by the famous Norman Lear. We will be diving into how a small town in southern United States is different for LGBTQIA+ folx than a large city in the north, the good and the not so good. We will also look at how change can be a hard but a necessary thing for everyone to be their best self, especially for our trans niblings. Tune in!

And now on Braless watch, Tuca & Bertie's Season 1. We will be discussing the importance of the portrayal of mental health with both friends.

This week on Braless Watch we will be discussing I Love Lucy's Season 1, only episodes 1 through 17. We talk about the queen that is Lucille Ball, how revolutionary the show is, and how it doesn't quite hold up to today's standards (that doesn't stop us from watching though!)
