Still, it brought the world The Waitresses' classic "Christmas Wrapping," and included music by such iconic figures from the period as Labelle's Nona Hendrix, Was (Not Was), and Suicide.

Zilkha Center for the EnvironmentQueer FriendshipsThis first episode is about being queer, and being a body. It’s about our relationships and relationality.
More than anything, it’s about getting over habits, and being a good friend.

Part is a conversation with Joseph Messer, losely titled “Don’t Fall in love with Straight Men.” Part Two is some spicy original nonfiction written by me, a love letter, and a goodbye letter.2018-09-2200 min

I need to capture this as a sound and emotion, through storytelling. Radio is a visual medium, and I want to take you on a meditative, emotional journey into the habitual. What can utopia/liberation feel like? Sound like? How to we acclimate ourselves to...2018-09-2200 min
