    • This pod is incredible. Just phenomenal. It shows the personal side of transsexuals, which is something that is NEVER portrayed in mainstream media and culture. If more people were exposed to something similar to this, I think it would change the overall perspective of lesbians, gays, and transsexuals.

    • This is a great pod.

      I appreciate how straightforward and compassionate the approach taken to the story was, and how candid River was in discussing his life.

      I also liked that there were interviews with the individuals who knew him; what they said about him seemed very genuine and honest.

    • this is one of the most beautiful and poignant pods i've seen thus far. it's easy to sympathize with river and see why homophobia and all of the taboo surrounding transexuality is so ridiculous. great work!
