The results are sometimes awkward, sometimes heartwarming, and always relatable.

Today we're handing our feed over to a show we think you’ll love: The Dylan Hour, a weekly cocktail party hosted by Dylan Mulvaney, from Lemonada Media. The Dylan Hour is a delightful, 1960s-inspired, pink confection of a podcast.
In this fun weekly video podcast, Dylan sips and spills with some of her favorite girls, gays, and theys — featuring pop stars, Broadway belters, actors, authors, like Glennon Doyle, Margaret Cho and even her own dad! In fact, this week we’re sharing the episode of Dylan chatting with her dad, Jim Mulvaney. Tune in to hear Dylan and her dad swap stories, including his encounter with Stevie Nicks and how he unknowingly inspired Dylan's expensive taste.
After you listen, be sure to search for The Dylan Hour wherever you get your podcasts, watch every episode on YouTube, or head to: https://lemonada.lnk.to/TheDylanHourfd
