Ty Pollock blew up his life to start living again. Ty in Progress is a couch conversation with the queer storyteller from Salt Lake City. Think of it as your best friend sending you an audio message.

Ty pulls up a chair with one of his oldest friends to talk about courage, queer adolescence in your 30s, and why perfection kills.
