GAYLETTER

New podcast alert! New podcast alert! Starring writer and trans advocate, Janet Mock, Never Before features conversations “about work, love and life — like you’ve never heard before.” The first episode features Ms. Tina Knowles. It was just a joy to listen to Tina talk from start to finish. I learned about her favorite hair product that contains actual real life ground-up hair, I learned that she never leaves the house without a red lip, and I learned that you’re never too old to snatch your waist and find a new man (Tina got divorced at 62, but has found new love and looks better than ever.) This episode was like spending 51 minutes inside Tina’s incredible Instagram account. If you are not following her, then you need to do so, right now! It’s a lot of fun. Tina clearly has raised successful, well behaved girls so it was fascinating to hear her talk about the “home training” she gave to them. She says she mainly taught them to work hard and not be brats. Great advice Tina. Not sure who Janet has planned for her next podcast, but if it’s anyone like Ms. Tina Knowles I will continue to tune in.  —tom
