The Word: What Is Repressed Will Have Its Revenge

Annika & I have a wonderful conversation that begins with the topic of television, and specifically new entries for 2014. We begin debating Lindsay Lohan's new show on OWN and somehow that leads us to a discussion of art. What is art? Are Reality Shows art? Annika says it's all "bullshit", but (of course) I argue for a more forgiving view.

Also, Annika brings her latest angle, and the headlines appear at the top of the hour.

Join us!

Note!- For about the first 2 minutes of the programme Rosemary Clooney drowns me out. I have re-posted this multiple times and their seems to be nothing I can do. Sorry!

The Word: Is "Lindsay" Art?

This is part one of our special Series On Apartheid. As the leaders of the various anti-Apartheid movements pass away, we take the time to look back at one of the most interesting and unusual periods in Human History. 

In part one, we trace the origins of the Apartheid system back 1400's HRE, when Roman legal concepts entered the Low Countries. We then continue through the colonization of the Cape Colony by Dutch, French, and finally British forces. I discuss the various independent Boer republics, and how these efforts were extinguished by the most powerful empire in the world. 

Finally, I explore how the repression of the Boer people could have laid the groundwork for the Apartheid racial ideology that would emerge more than 40 years after the last Afrikaaner state was conquered.

Let's Learn Together!

The Word: Series On Apartheid 1

On the second episode of "The Test", er........"Анкета", we investigate the queer case of "The Test" (as in 'lie detector'). 

I analyze 4 segments from recent episodes of this low-rated, Conflict Talk programme. "Yo man's" abound. Shows like this may be shorn of 'class' (at least as it is traditionally defined), but there is still analysis to be done! Issues of class and mental health are deconstructed in regard to "The Test", and the specific issues drawn from the segments.

Oh, and don't forget....#nobodywantsurman

That cray.

Анкета: Nobody Wants Your Man

On Анкета TODAY,

A "Coming Out Of The Shadows" episode of the Conflict Talk programme "Trisha" is analyzed. First, we review Rob, a trans man who performs 'female masquing'. He appears on "Trisha" first in what the show's narration refers to as a 'silicone sex suit'. Then, he is brought out without his suit.....And he describes that this is the first time he has 'come out' as a masker in public. I share my thoughts about the mixed messages I believe the "Trisha" show was transmitting about Rob's story.

Next, we look at the story of Rajee, the third person featured on the "Coming Out Of The Shadows" episode of "Trisha". Rajee is a trans woman who was propelled to infamy and worldwide fame in 2006. But it was not her acitvism in the trans community that led to her notoriety. Nor was it her music. Nor her acting. She never could have seen it coming. Rajee became famous as one of the many trans women who received unlicensed injections into various parts of her body by the Duchess of Hollywood, Florida. Eventually, her face became somewhat distorted. When she spoke to local media, outlets from as far away as Japan were ringing her phone by the next morning. And so began the media madness.

We talk about her experiences in the media, and specifically how she feels members of the trans* community are portrayed in the news and talk shows. She also recounts her appearance on "Trisha" specifically, as well as dealing with "Dr. Phil", "Anderson", & "The Bill Cunningham Show". 

No filter. This is Анкета.

Анкета: They Called Her 'Cement Woman'

In this compilation that celebrates the first year of public affairs programme "The Word," I revisit the guests, stories, and conversations that have defined 2013 and 2014.

In 2013, I took the leap and decided to initiate a project that I thought about for quite a few years. I took a passion for information, a life's mission to educate, and a well-developed ideology to give birth to "The Word". I hope that every person who has come into contact with this conversation has loved, and most of all, learned from it.

If it's not reaching, it's not teaching, and I thank the Universe that I still am able to continue these projects.

Here's to another year of "The Word"

Celebrating One Year Of The World!

Outtakes & bloopers from the first year of "The Word"!

*Alcohol Consumption
*Kim Kardashian
*God's New Prophet

Grab a fresh cactus to munch on & listen to these 'precious moments' with the Trap Pack!

The Trap Pack Season 1

The year 2014 was a watershed year for the Word. I got to interview celebrities, produce video segments, & even though there was alot of chaos, I still managed to eke out a few episodes. I talked about various interesting subjects. It was a crazy year-- from Ukraine being split asunder as a nation to the continuuing civil war in Syria, & several celebrities died. 

I had panelists sometimes show up, & others times not. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope to do more episodes in 2015 than I did in 2014, but I did also compile some of the best segments from The Word in 2014 into this compilation: Not only from the episode "What Is Repressed Will Have Its Revenge," but also "Is 'Lindsay' Art" about Lindsay Lohan's Reality Show (Which I know you all watched), 

Here's a compilation from The Word 2014, enjoy :-)

Agitprop: Don't Let Saudi Arabia Fool You

As I look forward to moving on with my projects after a rather lengthy period of dormancy, I have cultivated some of the best moments of The Word, starting with the opening era. It was hard to believe it was three years ago. I have grown since then and am so different. Unfortunately, I am not even in contact with Annikka before, who was so instrumental in The Word's earliest episodes.
