This week's guest in Noam Ash, a theater actor and youtube-gay who co-created the web series My Gay Roommate, which features a gay man and a straight man living together as platonic friends. That might not sound like the sort of thing that would be inspired by Harry Potter, but ever since he was a kid, Noam found solace in stories of outsiders discovering someplace new where they belonged -- and occasionally someplace foreign where they didn't.
Why Can't it be Me? (Ep. 219 - Shakespeare)
This week's guest is actor and creator Ken Arpino, who you may know from The Queens Project. He’s appeared in the touring company of shows like Mamma Mia, and now that he's got some major shows under his belt, he’s dedicated himself to bringing live theater to folks who don't have access to the arts or to queer community.
An Etch-a-Sketch for my Life (Ep. 217 - Clue)
My guest this week has undergone an incredible change, from living in a deeply religious rural community to performing underground cabaret in New York City. John Coons is a singer, performer, songwriter, sometimes go-go dancer, and overall delight, and I’m so excited to chat with him about how he found a church he could truly believe in.
Bonus Episode: Science is Queer (Ep. 218 - ASAP Science's Mitch and Greg)
This bonus episode has two guests: Mitch and Greg are the creators of the super popular YouTube series ASAP Science. They met years ago through a Facebook hack, and grew close as they searched for a way to blend their love of science and art. Now they've built a quirky queer science empire together, as creative partner and life partners.
Hypersaturated (Ep. 216 - Knitting & Dance)
My guest this week was almost a world famous dancer, but instead he's a world famous knitter. Steven West's fiber art is known all far and wide for bright color, surprising stitches, and beguiling design -- you might think of it as hipster knitwear. Behind the celebrity knitter is a former Bible camp kid who loved to dance. Looking at him then, you might have had a feeling he'd become famous, and he did. Though it was for a reason no one could have predicted.
And don’t forget to join us for the next livestream! It’s on Saturday, February 9, at 2pm pacific.
