EP 799: Living Out Loud with RAYSHARD + Kodi's Wild & Sexy RU5H Cruise Confessions
Singer, performer, and storyteller RAYSHARD joins Host Steve V and Co-host Kodi Maurice Doggette for an unapologetically queer conversation about reinvention, identity, music, love, and living life on your own terms. PLUS, Kodi is fresh off the inaugural RU5H gay cruise, and he's spilling the tea on all the sexy shenanigans at sea!
RAYSHARD, the Dallas-born, Baltimore-based independent artist behind HeyThereImRay and the tagline "I Have An Opinion," has lived several lives. From accountant and U.S. Army veteran to laboratory scientist and now full-time performer, he's proof that it's never too late to reinvent yourself and pursue your passions.
With his debut EP My Way, Vol. 1 and his first promotional tour, Happy Pride… Stay Gay Tour, RAYSHARD is making music and telling stories on his own terms.
In this episode:
Meet RAYSHARD and discover his remarkable journey of radical reinvention.
Walking away from stability to pursue a creative dream and live authentically.
Being a Black gay independent artist and finding your voice in today's world.

Kodi gives us the juicy details from the inaugural RU5H cruise! Sex-positive spaces, parties, freedom, and sexy adventures on the high seas.
Steve V shares his latest The Naked Truth Substack story, revisiting his younger years discovering homoerotic magazines and the unexpected journey from looking at gay men to becoming the one being looked at.
