  • Baby Reindeer’s Nava Mau
    May 29 2024
    This week on PRIDE, we get a behind the scenes look at the hit Netflix series, Baby Reindeer with Nava Mau who plays Teri. ​​The darkly funny and intense seven-part series is based on the real story of Richard Gadd, who stars as Donny, a comedian who is relentlessly stalked by a woman after he offers her a free drink at the bar he works at. The series dives into the complex dynamics of obsession and its profound impact on personal identity and security.

    Today, we have the privilege of delving into Nava's dynamic career, her role as Teri in the thought-provoking series 'Baby Reindeer,' and her ongoing work in film and social advocacy. We'll also get a sneak peek into her latest project, All the Words but One, an independent short film she wrote and directed, with the amazing Lilly Wachowski as Executive Producer.

  • A Queer History of the United States: Part 6
    May 22 2024
    We’ve come a long way, Pride listeners. Six weeks ago, we started on this journey to better understand the queer history of the United States. And re-listening to this series, which we originally aired in 2020, we're reminded of how many extraordinary stories there are.

    We began by looking at the many genders in the indigenous nations of pre-colonial America and their persecution by Western explorers. We looked at the first settlers in the original thirteen colonies, the founding fathers, homoeroticism in the white house, drag shows in Harlem, and the beginning of the term homosexual.

    Today is the final part of our six week series on the Queer History of the United States. We’re back with best-selling author and LGBTQ+ historian Dr. Eric Cervini and we’ll also hear from Michelle Esther O’Brien, a scholar living in New York City who helped organize an amazing exhibit commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots with the New York Public Library back in 2019.
