By: Press Release Distribution Service

The “No Matter What Club," a podcast aimed at the LGBTQ community that explores topic ranging from chemsex to the impact addiction has on relationships, has gotten the greenlight on a second season. The one-hour show is available on Apple, Spotify, iheart, Amazon and YouTube.

Los Angeles, United States, June 5, 2025 -- One of the most audacious and thought provoking podcasts addressing issues impacting the LGBTQIA+ community has been given the green light for a second season. The “No Matter What Club,” which completed its first 10-episode season earlier this year, will resume production with its sights set on addressing little-discussed matters ranging from the disturbing chemsex trend to the impact addiction has on relationships and families, announced show creators announced show creators Paulo Arranaga-Grayson and his husband, Anthony Arranaga-Grayson, who said the one-hour weekly show can be downloaded on all major streaming platforms including Apple, Spotify, iheart, Amazon and YouTube.

The Arranaga-Graysons started the podcast in response to the dearth of information pertaining to substance misuse and its impact on the LGBTQIA+ community, a topic they know all too well as founders of No Matter What Recovery, which specializes in LGBTQ+ affirming care by providing both inpatient and outpatient substance abuse and mental health treatment services. Expert guests include Mell McCracken (Executive Director of No Matter What Recovery and a leading expert on chemsex education) and Jack Moll (Program Director of No Matter What Recovery).

Among the guests appearing on the podcast’s second season are Casey Weitzman, LMFT, president of Gender Wellness of Los Angeles and her colleague, Grace O’Connor, LMFT, Vice President of the practice that provides mental health services for transgender, gender-diverse and all LGBTQIA+ individuals and their families. The panel will explore the evolution of the LGBTQIA+ community, its resilience, coming out later in life, the grief process associated with coming out, and defining gender affirming care.
