Jacob Tobia: Way Too Much For Capitol Hill
June 28, 2018 08:05 - 1 hour - 65.7 MBWe were so excited to be back in the same room as Jacob Tobia that we could barely contain our finger snaps. This author, producer, and gender-fabulous gem talked to us about pets, pencil skirts, and nail polish alongside urgent issues around gender and style politics. Far from binary, this nonconformist has compared gender to a multifaceted diamond with endless and infinite refractions and permutations, different gradations of radiance and existence. Yes. Yes. Yes. More. Please. “Any strate...
Ashton Applewhite: Hitting Her Stride at 65
June 21, 2018 07:05 - 1 hour - 59.1 MBOne of the most absurd things in the world is that we all dread the one thing we absolutely know is going to happen: we don’t talk about death and as a result, we are all terrified of aging. We have an entire society that is paralyzed by this fear. The obsession with Kim Kardashian and plastic perfection has people worrying about aging and thinking about Botox at 15. How could that make for a happy society? Ashton Applewhite, activist and author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageis...

June 13, 2018 19:05 - 1 hour - 56.2 MBThe physical effects of vitiligo have been life-rippling for Jesi Taylor, guiding their journey towards self-acceptance. First down a path of bulimia as an attempt to control the initial devastation of their black skin losing pigment day-by-day, followed by their shifting perspectives around the constructs of race and gender (“what is it that I’m calling myself and letting people identify me as?”), and now in the midst of a high-risk pregnancy. They are finding a deeper peace by surrendering...

Alok Vaid-Menon: The Strength of Feelings
May 31, 2018 07:05 - 1 hour - 72.7 MBElisa and Lily are joined by gender non-conforming performance artist, writer, educator, and entertainer Alok Vaid-Menon who explains why the creation of the ‘self-other’ as a binary is fundamentally flawed: “Individualism is wrong because it constantly sees ourselves as separate from one another rather than synchronous. So many of the things that we’ve been taught are oppositional or antagonistic are not.” They reveal why coming out, for them, was really about radical honesty and the streng...
Sylvia Maier: Turning Pain into Beauty
May 24, 2018 07:05 - 1 hour - 68.9 MBArtist Sylvia Maier gifts us with an intimate portrait of her soul as she takes us on a journey from her childhood, growing up in 70s New York as the only daughter of biracial musician parents, through healing the pain of an abusive father by seeking out and painting beauty.

Elisa Goodkind: Reinventing Failure
May 10, 2018 07:05 - 1 hour - 57.1 MBIn the run-up to Mother’s Day Weekend, the irrepressibly unapologetic Elisa Goodkind switches things up by placing the emphasis on celebrating children and acknowledging her self-perceived failures. She shows us that by embracing our failures, be it in parenting, career, love, or life in general, we also embrace our reinvention. Refusing to be invisible at any age, Elisa’s tales take us from her time as a stylist in wild 80s New York, to a yoga teaching mother, to risking it all at 50 and go...
