Welcome to episode one of PEAR NAKED TRUTH: the start of my new podcast series where I share tips, tricks, and life advice as a gay, autistic black man who has struggled in every stage of life. This first episode is about the road it took to get here: three producers from hell, one producer who worked with Anna Delvey and scammed me out of $10,000.
