Our favorite comedian is back on the show with us, and this time.... she is a movie!  Julia Scotti and director, Golden Globe nominee, Susan Sandler take the mics to tell us about their new documentary Julia Scotti: Funny That Way.
The film is the journey of  65-year-old transgender comedian Julia and the children she lost and found with comedy as their path to identity and healing. In the late 1990s, stand up comedian Rick Scotti was performing in comedy clubs across the country when he came to the realization that he was living a false and painful life. Rick’s awakening led him down the challenging road to a new identity as Julia Scotti. The consequences of her transition left Julia deserted by her family, friends, and comedy world colleagues. The film takes us through a path of acceptance and healing, and the unique way this family uses comedy to face their truth.
Today we talk to Julia and Susan about the making of the film, how to laugh and cry over the past, and the art of healing.
With co-host Brody Levesque.

Author Suzanne DeWitt Hall follows up her landmark book A Theology of Desire with a brand new book full of ideas and conversation starters, Sex With God. 
From the book's Forward;  'Each of us comes to the topic of sex with at least a minimal amount of trepidation; that’s human nature. When we put God into the mix, well, sex becomes almost taboo. But why? God made sex. And as DeWitt Hall rightly states, “God is a sexual being, the most sexual of all beings,” in fact. So why should we be creeped out by talking to God about Godself?'
Covering topics ranging from consent, to orgasm to BDSM : How does one align religious and spiritual principles with instinctual and sexual longings?  Suzanne tells us how.
Suzanne is a renown freelance writer, a HuffPost blogger, and also authored the children's picture book Rumplepimple. Besides a fascination with the intersection of sexuality and theology, she is mildly obsessed with vintage cookbooks. She lives joyously with her wife Diane, a cat named Chicken, and a wire fox terrier.

The soul of Broadway cannot be put down!  An electrifying cast from theater, cabaret, classical music and the LGBT performance scene in New York are sending us all the new musical play Different Stars in a live stream performance on August 15th.  Today we have the lead actor, the director and the creator producer LIVE to tell us about this fantastic piece.
Different Stars is a tale about the other side of queer intimacy gone sour and the emotions that collide during time spent alone in quarantine. When James opens a box of artifacts from his first breakup, after months of self-isolation during COVID-19, he reckons with memories that haunt him of a first queer love gone awry. It stars James Jackson, Jr., Victoria Huston-Elem, Danielle Buonaiuto, and Karl Saint Lucy. The premiere, directed by Raquel Cion, will benefit QORDS, "a music-centered summer camp for LGBTQ youth with a special focus on queer and transgender youth of color living in the American South".  James Jackson, Raquel Cion and Karl Saint Lucy are in the house with us today!!

In COVID times, spontaneous music has become a salve for our despair. One artist determined to bring that to us is folk singer Rachel Garlin, who on a warm day in May, opened her Noe Valley garage door to perform ad hoc for her San Francisco sheltering in place neighborhood. She bantered with passer bys, she made up songs on the spot. She brought healing.
Today we have her with us.  She is launching new music with the album Mondegreens, and we will be playing its first release, her cover of "Boys of Summer".
The album plays like a love a letter to today’s precarious times, each song evoking a blend of heartache and hope, social reflection and self-discovery. At the center of the work are Garlin’s nuanced lyrics—image-rich and literary, subtle and surprising—making each song its own snow-globe story that stirs and settles anew with every listen. 
Today we talk... and we listen!   With co-host Brody Levesque.

The sensitive, raw and honest Louis Knight is in the house!  And he brings with him his newest release, Twisted Conversations. We talk to him... albeit in our most non-twisted conversational way.
Knight’s successful stint on American Idol began with his audition and Luke Bryan’s claim that, "you might be the biggest star we've had on American Idol" following the performance of his original composition, Change.   
 In 2019, Knight released his Small Victories EP and premiered the video for "Just Kiss Me via Popdust who cheered, “with its captivating storytelling and alluring instrumentation and vocals, "Just Kiss Me" is a strong indicator of Knight's ability to be an unapologetically vulnerable and honest musician… This music video marks the beginning of an era for Knight.”
 
Knight is a passionate advocate for suicide prevention awareness and penned his original, “Change” as a tribute to a friend lost to suicide. Philadelphia Weekly wrote “...it’s a stunning example of Knight’s ability to translate his emotions and experiences into meaningful pop songs for the masses.”
 
Knight’s philanthropic efforts include partnering with The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to help carry the message of hope to those that continue to suffer.
