The doctor is in, please take a seat.We're joined in person by hilarious and universally beloved friend of the show, the wickedly talented vocalist/guitarist of PITY SEX: Dr. Britty Drake.
We go into great detail about Britty's expulsion from high school due to a (joke) violent threat on Myspace and the extensive aftermath, her upbringing from young Christian Metalcore fan experimenting with many haircuts in Lansing, MI to Indie Shoegaze pioneer extensively touring the country, taking a break from music to become a literal DOCTOR of the mind, balancing work and home life with her husband/bandmate Mike, playing live with Pity Sex in 2025 & beyond and much, much, more!
A truly delightful episode with our great friend that we had as much fun recording as we did watching it back. Pity Sex is here to stay, baby! Enjoy.
