Not Just One Good Conversation with Charlie James

In this episode, we are joined by comedian, podcaster, and author Charlie James. We begin with an unexpected (but charming) introduction to Pamphlet, Charlie’s cat, followed by Charlie’s very thoughtful answer to our silly question wheel. Charlie discusses his experience transitioning while building a comedy career in the public eye and then we turn our attention to a listener-submitted voicemail asking how to respond when a child comes out to you as trans. Raimi and Charlie consider the question, “what did I need to hear?” and the group chats about leading with joy, enthusiasm, and curiosity.

As always, we finish with recommendations: Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur’s deleted episode “The Gatekeeper” from Disney+, the Trans Youth Emergency Project, and x + y: A Mathematician's Manifesto for Rethinking Gender by Eugenia Cheng. 

Most importantly, make sure to check out and pre-order Charlie's new book, I’m Just A Little Guy: How to escape the horrors and get back to dillydallying, coming out fall 2025!
