Our Story

Rebecca Davis and Ronni Hayon met thirty years ago at a Reform Jewish summer camp in Indiana. Ridiculously, they paid good money to spend that summer living with a group of other 16-year-olds, all tasked with cleaning toilets, washing dishes and floors, and otherwise doing the camp’s grunt work. They became fast friends, two earnest nerds bonding over a shared fascination with sexuality, reproductive rights, and LGBTQIA+ equality. Those conversations continued in the decades since, as Ronni became a physician and Rebecca found a way to stay in college forever. Podcasts didn’t exist in 1992, but if they had, Ronni and “Becky” totally would have started one then.
