Nathan always knew he was different growing up. He also knew the LDS church had certain expectations of him: He’d do his mission, find a girl, get married and settle down. Being gay? Not part of that plan.

Nathan does everything he can to be straight, including sending himself to “conversion therapy.” It, of course, doesn’t work. Then … he starts to uncover his true self. And his true self is beautiful.

You know how every day someone asks “how are you?” And even if you’re totally dying inside, you just say “fine,” so everyone can go about their day? This show is the opposite of that. Hosted by author (It’s Okay to Laugh (Crying Is Cool Too)) and notable widow (her words) Nora McInerny, this is a funny/sad/uncomfortable podcast about talking honestly about our pain, our awkwardness, and our humanness, which is not an actual word.
