Episode 217: 'Defensive Grindr' (Jeffrey Allen Hayes)

Is it true that you can get dick delivered on your phone? Storyteller Jeffrey Allen Hayes works at his local LGBT Senior Center, and when his clients discover hookup apps, they have so many questions. Hired to create programs to help the seniors feel less isolated, he teaches them about Grindr - & his boss promptly reprimands him. What started out as a fireable offense has now turned into a 5 class series with powerpoint presentations, handouts and planned role-play sessions. Technology can be a catalyst for connection & Apps should be for everyone…oh, and look out for the plot twist at the end of the story! #Selfie #GPS #Boundaries #ExceedsExpectations #Pride #Discomfort

About the storyteller:

Jeffrey Allen Hayes has won Best of Bawdy multiple times. He holds an MA in Drama Therapy and works as a professional game master, facilitating games like dungeons and dragons with a focus on emotional growth and healing.

Song: 'Computer Boy' (Poppy)
