#5 - Jenn Johnson & Queer Mentors

Jenn and I chit-chat about what it was like to grow up in a queer community - they are proof that growing up watching drag shows can impact a child, of course - in the best way possible. Jenn describes their childhood, their learned professionalism, and how their family goes against the grain regarding Oklahoma standards. The eloquence struck me when was addressing religion and queerness in society today. 

#4 - Daisy May & Simpson Porn

If you're looking for some sunshine in your life look no further than Daisy May - an Indiana Native, who sadly has moved to Massachusetts to be a display designer at Anthropology. Before she moved, Daisy and I say down to talk about harsh religious experiences, growing up in Indiana, and how she used art to deconstruct her experiences and express her new identity.  

#3 - Ben Shuler & Anal Paps

Have you had your anal pap? Do you even know what that is? Sit down with my life-long friend Ben Shuler and I to talk about butt sniffin', health regulations, and how Ben is working to update standard recommendations for all peoples, not just heterosexuals.

#2 - Melanee Davis & The Indy 90s

Melanee , if I may, is an OG Indy Queer. She has been in Indiana raising hell for decades - a bloomington local today Melanee trhrives as a single mom, radio talk show host, graphic designer, and a bunch of other things. Luckily I got some time on her busy schedule to chat through the prejudices she experienced when looking for jobs in the 90s and fighting for her rights ever since. 

#1 - Martin Law & Defiance

How do you define difficulty, difference, and defiance? How do you fit more alliteration into an intro? Please stick around for the conversation between Martin and I. Martin Law has his PhD in IU Department Communication & Culture, with a focus on rhetoric and public culture, indecorous and uncontrolled speech and how those labels are attached to raced and disabled bodies.
