YES! The Always Classic Lesbian Lounge Pre-Thanksgiving Show of 2008

It's Thanksgiving Week in the U.S. and to celebrate, we've got the funniest, MOST streamed, listened and downloaded show in our podcasting history! It's a classic from 2008.

Pop this show on while your elbow deep in stuffing turkeys and making pies. Promise, you'll laugh. The Rainbow Remix is back next week. 

The Rainbow Remix- Ep. 176- Meet Kiowa Catlin: Musician, Survivor, Trans Man

We caught up with Terri "Kiowa" Catlin, a musician with story that will blow you away. Kiowa was given up for adoption, put in abusive foster homes, ran away at 14, lived on the mean streets of Flint, Michigan before finding his way to South Florida, and through it all, the love of music saved him. Self taught on an array of instruments, some lessons at Flint School of Music, Kiowa never stopped playing or believing in himself. He's done a TEDTalk, been featured on national TV, played violin for Itzhtak Perlman at the age of 11, and transitioned in a place where it was extremely unwelcomed.

His music is available on Soundcloud (click this link for it)
