Ep 159 – Side A – Under The Leather

BDSM, Fundraising and Charity, Leather

Newly sashed Laird Leatherman 2024 Jay joins us to talk about the dust settling on his competition night. We talk about our formative leather experiences, opening our community up to more diverse communities, and leading with kindness in the community.

Jay reflects on his exceptional stage presentation including milk and hotdogs, Madonna, and money!

A massive shout out to the four other competitors, Alex, Angelo, JJ, and Sir Z who all put themselves forward.

We extended out chat after the boradcast, so be sure to dial in to the Sextras (Side B) of this episode!
