The Purple Pawedcast

In this episode, I am proud to feature my dear friend Kaedyn Nedopak.  Kaedyn is an Award-winning Queer Transgender Producer, Author, Podcaster, and Activist...and he really lives up to the list!  Kaedyn and I talk about such interesting topics as Hollywood's failure to break gender roles, Pagan practices with Irish goddesses, and dissin' from the 80s.

What is The Purple Pawedcast?

Welcome to The Purple Pawedcast, where we unpack the complexities of gender, identity, and what it truly means to be human—without the academic jargon (okay, maybe just a little, but only the fun kind).

Curated by Amethysta Herrick. Ph.D., this pod is where science, philosophy, and lived experience collide to challenge assumptions and spark new perspectives. Whether you’re here to explore your own identity, stay informed on the latest research, or just enjoy a deep dive into the human experience, we deliver thoughtful, engaging, and refreshingly honest discussions. No fluff. No gatekeeping. Just real conversations about who we are and how we navigate the world. Dive in, stay curious, and let’s rethink identity together.
