Your hosts explore what it meant to grow up as a queer millennial under the influence of the Queen of Pop—a woman who provided a roadmap for reinvention, provocation, and unapologetic identity long before social media made it a requirement.

From the disco glamour of the Confessions of the Dance Floor era to the spiritual shift of Ray of Light, they discuss how her discography served as a soundtrack for self-discovery.
