Qurated

The jury is in: Beyoncé isn’t queer culture and Sam is smug about it. With much better sound quality, we dissect burlesque, queer grammar and hunties. Join us as we grill our first-ever Brooklyn guest, Alissa Milano, who discusses bi-erasure, pansexuality and finding healing through her art. We also ask the big question: Does she have an antenna?

Sam will say it once, twice and thrice: ASMR does not belong in his queer space. Will Alex listen? Who knows.

Matisse is a graduate student at Simmons University, who’s thesis project  will examine the cultural practices of producing gender-normative bodies in cisgender and transgender communities. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alexander-yen/support

Today’s episode features our first guest Emma Baker, an anti-disciplinary artist, who discusses commitment issues to craft, gender and fun. Also, does capitalism ruin art?

In the inaugural episode, Sam and Alex hit the ground running (but then slow down immediately because they’re both out-of-shape). Today, they’re introducing each other while simultaneously discussing queer identity in music, the patriarchal nature of jazz and overusing the word “reductive.” They’re here, they’re queer and they’re full of existential fear. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alexander-yen/support
