Ep 23Interview: Pansexual Love
In this episode we hear from Miki Ponting Boyd. I first met Miki about 20 years ago when we were both working as commercial radio announcers in two stations about an hour away from each other. When you meet a cool chick in radio you become fast friends since it’s an industry dominated by blokes. When I met her she was married to her husband and had two babies, now she’s married to her wife and has added another to the tribe! Given it’s Pride Month, I thought it was timely to hear Miki's story. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
