We have been recording our live queer storytelling show Greetings, from Queer Mountain, and will be releasing some of our favorite live stories. This one is from Shep Kelly and was performed and recorded at our February 2023 show at the Allways Lounge in New Orleans. The show's theme was petty and Shep had just the story. To learn more about Shep Kelly listen to our full interview with her in our Episode 18.
