Kristin Knows Blank

This week on Kristin Knows Blank, my guest is  comedian, social media influencer, travel enthusiast, and activist Hayley Faulkner!

We laugh, we spill, and we churn out some seriously good stories.   👉 Reminder: You can only WATCH this episode on YouTube! Don’t just listen—come see the fun.  

It's time for another Kristin Knows Blank podcast takeover by LESBIAN ARMY RADIO!  Kristin Key and Nicole Melnyk are back again for a deep dive into Netflix's steamy new hit The Hunting Wives.  Set in a conservative Texas town, this show has it all: lesbians, drama, and lesbian drama (with a hint of murder mystery). Join Kristin and Nicole as they hilariously recap the show's gayest moments, weirdest plot holes, and the importance of learning to drive stick. If you also binged the show and still can't figure out if you loved or hated it, this episode is for you.  Watch ONLY on YouTube (@kristinkeycomedy), and don't forget to drop your questions or comments below for next week's breakdown!
