Jordan Maye has followed up her debut album, CREATION OF JORDAN MAYE, with an infectious rock anthem, TEAR IT DOWN. I talk to Jordan today about her gender identity journey and musical achievements. Her path to songwriting wasn’t some overnight revelation. It was a slow-burn devotion, bouncing between piano, guitar, and voice lessons, quietly sharpening the tools she’d later use to craft her own sound.

The result is a new talent with a gorgeous and commanding voice that not only has a personal story to tell, but onw that will resonate in the hearts of her LGBTQ+ fanbase.

Widely named as the "Actress to Watch". Emiliana Jasper, is my guest today. Her performance in the new psychological thriller film MIA has garnered rave reviews. Today we talk about her film and theater accomplishments, the nuances of the film MIA and navigating the show business world as a young talented lesbian actor.

Luca Evans, Producer of QUEERING PRECEDENT, is my guest! The podcast series looks at the legal and political landscape through the eyes of LGBTQ+ elders. Its episodes feature California’s first transgender judge Victoria Kolakowski, the “Beyoncé of Bottom Surgery” Dr. Marci Bowers, transgender and two-spirit activist Marcus Arana, intersex advocates Anne and Suegee Tamar-Mattis, TransLatin@ President and CEO Bamby Salcedo, and Stonewall veteran Christy Henderson-Jenkins. Episode topics include the history of trans law in the U.S., gender-affirming healthcare, two-spirit liberation, intersex legislation, the intersection of immigration and trans rights, and lived experience of the legal system.

Director/producer Mikaela Shwer and film star Cadilina join me for an in-depth discussion of the new documentary THE KIDS ARE NOT ALRIGHT- including new exclusive details of Cadilina’s experience beyond what is seen in the film.

The film centers on rampant abuse in the Troubled Teen Industry, an unregulated network of for-profit institutions claiming to fix wayward teenagers. Decades later, the kids are fighting back. Filmed over nine years, ”The Kids Are Not Alright” is an intimate portrait of trauma following three families’ journeys as whistle blowers.

Blond Jesus (aka Garrett Miller) is back on the new music trail with his ventures in the rock and pop world, and we had him live in house to talk about the new FRINGE OF FAME album that is lighting up Spotify on 83 playlists. We also talk about his hit single WHITE KNIGHT and the short film it inspired.

That film is blazing across film festivals and we discuss not only its major wins, but what if felt like to be in the audience greeted by standing ovations.

Bill Hulseman is a writer, ritual designer, and former educator who is challenging what it means to belong. In his debut book, “six to carry the casket and one to say the mass,” Bill explores queer identity, Catholicism, family, and personal agency with unflinching honesty.

Today we discuss birth order trauma, Pride, or how “nerding out to Madonna” led to him making the pop icon an academic subject!

As the new film "T" has its premiere on June 20th, I sat down with filmmaker Lane Michael Stanley and film star, Mel Glickman.

Lane Michael Stanley (he/they) is an award winning, transgender writer and director making community- embedded work around queerness, healing, grief, recovery, restorative justice, and housing insecurity.

Mel Glickman is a non-binary transmasculine actor, writer, and fight director based in Los Angeles. Their acting and choreography have been seen on multiple LA and NYC productions as well as on TV.
