Welcome back to the online home of Richie & John.
Our two-month hiatus has come to an end and it’s time to get back in the swing
of things with the arrival of Pride 2025!
Most of us spend Spring Break (if we are lucky enough to get
one!) taking a vacation, enjoying time with friends or family, preparing our
homes and yards for summer. But, this has definitely been a working break for
us. Richie was able to sneak in a little travel to the Mexican Riviera and John
spent a few days on the Southcoast of California with some of his progressive
heroes and sheroes. But, we have been busy preparing to dig in and join those
leading the charge to save Democracy and hard-fought freedoms and equality for
the LGBTQ+ community.
We also moved into new headquarters and are going through a
series of upgrades to better serve you.
In the weeks and months ahead, look for even more engaging
and interactive content, features and calls-to-action from Richie & John,
and our parent organizations, the Mutual Broadcasting System and its new
subsidiary United America Network, which will feature a broad variety of
progressive civic education and political content. More to come on that front
very soon!
In the meantime, let’s get back to business. And, if you’d
like to be in touch with us to offer suggestions for coverage and upcoming
guests, send questions or comments about things we are discussing, offer
compliments or complaints, or suggestions for our hair and make-up staff, you

Several very special guests from the world of arts and entertainment are scheduled to hang out with Richie & John this summer including Sordid Lives writer, producer and director Del Shores, veteran film character actor Udo Kier, and photographer Michael Childers. Each will share a treasure trove of stories you won't want to miss!
In this year of uncertainty and challenging circumstances for minorities, the marginalized, and those who feel anxious because of the USA's Administration making moves to bring about autocratic rule and suspension of civil rights, we will also be inviting people from a variety of organizations and in public office to join us and talk about how you can best protect yourself and help to overcome the fascist behavior that has become a part of our everyday existence.
Remember: Don't despair. There will always be someone to talk with. If you are feeling stressed out call the National Suicide Prevention hotline at (800) 273-8255. Or text the Crisis Lifeline at 741741.
