In 2018, Benjamin A. Boyce began a series of interviews with other anti-transender, conservative, and ex-trans figures. The show is alternately called “Calmversations” or “The Boyce of Reason.” Despite the show’s relaxed tone, Boyce’s guests are often strident critics of progressive aspects of the trans rights movement.
See this episode list for details.
