  Behind the Bar S3E16 | Tiffany Watts

  Jul 10, 202635 minS3

  On this all-new episode of Behind the Bar, Sapphic Con founder Tiffany Watts shares a drink at the bar with Ashley and Hailee and provides an inside look at this exciting conference/festival for sapphic creatives that’s coming to KC in September 2026! Tiffany is a writer for both the Kansas City Defender and Kansas City’s The Pitch, and a local LGBTQ+ community builder. She played a major role in growing KC’s iconic Queer Bar Takeover monthly pop-up events with founder Lance Pierce (who was another great guest on Behind the Bar S2E13!). While working on the Queer Bar Takeover project, Tiffany recognized a need for more spaces created specifically for the sapphic community – and Sapphic Con was born! Watch the full episode for an inside look at Sapphic Con as well as Tiffany’s other local events!

  Behind the Bar S3E15 | Kinzie Elizabeth

  Jun 12, 202634 minS3

  Behind the Bar is thrilled to have local business owner and fellow podcaster, Kinzie Elizabeth, on this all-new episode! Kinzie is a professional photographer based in Kansas City, but this is not a conversation about shooting weddings and family photos. Not even close! Kinzie has built her business around boudoir photography for queer and plus-sized people. A photographic experience that for many individuals has been a catalyst that has helped them discover a sense of self-love – and, for many, has helped them find a new level of self-confidence. In fact, Kinzie is so dedicated to helping people find their own confidence that she hosts a podcast on the subject, ironically named “F*ck Confidence”! If her podcast name sounds counterintuitive, tune in as Kinzie breaks it down for Ashley and Hailee on this episode of Behind the Bar!
