My Whole Gender Thing with Luca Harsh

"A high-ranking angel is banished from heaven and forced to work customer service in purgatory as punishment." That's the description of Luca Harsh's original pilot, Purgatory, Inc. It's a fun show that's easy to imagine animated on your streamer of choice. Add Luca's transit activism into the mix, and you've got a classic TIYA guest. Thanks to friend of the show Whitney Wasson for suggesting them!
