  • Important and lifesaving podcast

    Amazing podcast. Incredibly informative and both a resource and a call to action to a problem more pervasive than our gay community is willing to

    bravely face and help.

    I am grateful for the opportunity to speak on the podcast about sex workers and chemsex. Last but not least, I am grateful for Dallas Braggs' openmindedness. The field of drug and addiction is full of taken for granted truths, and it is refreshing to see an opinionated person like Dallas really listen to- and bringing new voices and ideas to the front. It’s healing to listen to and I think this is one of the most important podcasts for queer people interested in recovery and drug-use.

  • Familiar Journey

    This was a very relatable podcast in my recovery journey. My sexuality issues coupled with my trauma issues and divorced from my ex-wife and children lead me to unforgettable and dangerous practice of slamming meth. There was a lot of parallels in the story that match mine, and I am grateful to have listened to it.
