Raechel and Melody discuss the controversy surrounding the new Roseanne re-boot, but first contextualize Roseanne as a working-class icon and the history of working-class representation in television. We unpack racial codings of white and non-white representations, the intersection of gender in class representation, and of course revisit Stuart Hall's encoding/decoding.

WEAPONRY

Gina Young and Sarah Faith Gottesdiener talk MAKING IT and SUCCESS on this very special episode of Ideal Futures!

Inspired by Episode 5 where we took listener questions about money, this episode probes success in creative fields: how to attain it, how to redefine it, good Dad-vice, and reckoning with the dreaded P word.

Ep 9 - Gina + Sarah on "Making It"

Tashi Lee Condelee is a comedian, actor, singer, emcee and professional wrestler living in Los Angeles. With her co-host Ellington Wells, Tashi hosts Blackberry Jam, a diverse comedian night at the Cha Cha Lounge. With her cohorts F.L.O.W (Future Ladies Of Wrestling), as Diva Colada, Tashi performs wrestling feats to save the world from boredom, and the patriarchy. 

In this conversation, we talk about Tashi's upbringing, the LA comedy scene, her creative process, and why she will never date anyone who drives a Toyota Tercell.

Ep 11 - Emilia "Ponysweat" Richeson

Demo Album of 'Lesbian Love Octagon: a musical comedy about dyke drama'

www.lesbianthemusical.com

Book and Lyrics by Kim Kressal
Music and Additional Lyrics by Will Larche

Performed by Sarah Louise Anderson, Jenny Atwood, Felicia Blum, Katie Britton, Margaret French, Ti Grieco, Kelly Higgins, Jax Jackson, Kelly Lockwood, Mary Kate Morrissey, Lindsay Naas, and Katy Richter

Music Produced by Tara Dawn Grieco
Sound Engineered by Reed Taylor, Lofish Studios

Set in the late 90s on the Lower East Side of New York City, THE LESBIAN LOVE OCTAGON follows the journey of Sue, a less than butch dyke with a broken heart, as she tries to cope with losing her girlfriend to her ex-girlfriend. When Sue’s friends (a bevy of ex-girlfriends and ex-girlfriends' ex-girlfriends) come rushing to her aid, they incite a tempest of lust and betrayal as they try to convince Sue that the answer to happiness exists in polyamory, pomade, and online personals. A riotous look at a righteous time in lesbian history, THE LESBIAN LOVE OCTAGON is a musical for anyone who has ever loved wimmin's bookstores, tofu or cats.

The Lesbian Love Octagon will be performed June 2013 at The Kraine Theater, NYC
