His newest memoir, I'm Prancing as Fast as I Can, is a coming-of-age story about a scared boy, confused about his sexuality, who learns to accept himself, his queerness, and accomplish incredible artistic goals (including writing for the hit show Will & Grace)! It's also a sort of love letter for those who share the experience of frustration, turbulence, and eventually figure out how to blossom into their queerness. His book makes you both laugh and cry at the same time. Jon also talks about his experiences working on the hit shows Will and Grace and Ugly Betty (to name a few), and what it was like taking Betty Buckley's meditative acting class (oh he also saw the original Carrie Broadway musical so you know I had to ask him about that).

On a broad scale, we touch upon the idiosyncrasies of being a closeted celebrity, the thin veil of liberalism in Hollywood, and the constant tokenization of queer people in media. Cover Story tackles the irony of Ali, the lead character, working in Hollywood PR and ironically keeping celebrities in the closet while being a lesbian herself. Then we discuss a few prominent celebrities who may or may not be in the closet...please Swifties don't get upset with us! Her next book is in the works and follows a lesbian experiencing an immaculate conception!Don't forget to check out Cover Story and the rest of Celia's novels here: https://www.celialaskey.com/cover-storyAnd follow Celia on Instagram @celia.laskeyOur Sponsors:To subscribe to The Gay and Lesbian Review visit glreview.org.

Watch this episode ad-free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get 50% off your membership with code ITBRPROFESSOR patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroomJoining me today on ITBR is Jonathan Parks-Ramage, a critically acclaimed gay author based in LA. As a playwright, screenwriter, journalist and novelist, Jonathan is at the forefront of portraying queer stories and platforming an exciting array of creative voices. His most recent novel, It's Not The End of The World is a thrilling take on a haunting climate-crisis narrative surrounding a gay couple and their baby shower. There's so much to dig into, and on today's episode we discuss even the most intricate details such as heteronormativity in queer spaces and how the irony of writing about an apocalyptic climate crisis inadvertently helped Jonathan cope with the current state of the planet. Jonathan discusses how important and hopeful it is to research historical resistance movements that have succeeded and how we can have hope as a collapsing society and planet.You can find It's Not The End of The World and all other things Jonathan Parks-Ramage over at https://www.jonathan-p-r.com/booksAnd you can follow him on Instagram @jprampageOur Sponsors:To subscribe to The Gay and Lesbian Review visit glreview.org.

Watch this episode ad-free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get 50% off your membership with code ITBRPROFESSOR patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroomJoin me and Frank Pizzoli as we discuss the evolution of queer literature over the decades! As a longtime queer advocate, writer, and journalist Frank has so much knowledge to share about both his own lived experiences as well as the current state of queer literature in the era of anti-intellectualism. Frank takes us back to growing up gay in Central Pennsylvania and being outspoken as a college student when he participated in the anti-war movement. And that brings us to his thoughts on today's political climate! Frank explains why he thinks our current American political system is actually encouraging people to abandon critical thinking and why there's a "dumbing down" of the general public. In Frank's new book Passionate Outlier: Gay Writers and Allies on Their Work, he talks with several iconic gay writers about their legacy and what queer literature looks like today. You'll learn all about his conversations with writers like Edmund White, Andrew Holleran, Felice Picano, and Christopher Bram (just to name a few). By the end of our conversation, not only will you learn about the history of queer literature, but you'll also understand how queer authors and their legacies are all around us.

Egan comes back onto the podcast to talk about writing and reading short stories, a genre of literature that often gets overshadowed by its older sibling, the novel. Laury is such a wealth of creative information which is why you'll learn why short stories face challenges in the publishing industry even though you would think that our fast-paced culture would love how you can finish a short story in one sitting. We then get into a spirited conversation about why American literary culture is being "dumbed down" and so many bestsellers are easily digestible plot-driven works, instead of rich psychological texts.

Watch this episode ad-free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get a free trial for the ITBR Professor level! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroomWelcome back to Teaching the Humanities in the 21st Century! Today we're joined with Dr. Angela Weisl who you will soon learn is not only an accomplished Medieval Literature scholar but a passionate and very wise/learned (using a Medieval term) English professor. Angela joins us from Seton Hall University where she has taught everything from Literature of the Adolescence (YA Lit), Chaucer (all things The Canterbury Tales), Medieval Lit, and Women's Lit. Angela has been teaching at Seton Hall since 1995 where she has served as both Director of Graduate Studies and the Chair of the English department. There is so much pedagogical ground that we cover with Angela including why she's so passionate about teaching Medieval Lit. since it allows her to explore contemporary issues through a historical lens. And if you don't know about Beowulf, you definitely will be convinced to read it after this conversation. As the previous chair of the English department, Angela explains how she made clear to both students and colleagues that English majors develop incredible critical thinking, reading, and writing skills that are valuable across many career paths! She also addresses how rapid changes in technology has not only changed our students' learning habits, but it requires us to rethink our own teaching approaches. To learn more about Angela's scholarship, publications, and teaching, head to her Seton Hall profile: https://www.shu.edu/profiles/angelaweisl.htmlIf you're a Humanities professor, please email us at ivorytowerboilerroom@gmail.com to possibly be on a future episode!

Susanna begins the conversation by explaining her student-centered, love-driven approach to teaching! She explains that in her classroom it is essential to subvert traditional power dynamics (yes patriarchy she's calling you out)! We get into a really exciting conversation about why critical thinking and creativity are more important than traditional lecturing, rote memorization, and praising the students. For Susanna, English education is about bridging cultures, understanding oneself, and becoming a whole person. It's really special that Susanna is our first guest since she worked with Jan for many years at Kean University! Whether you're a fellow Humanities educator, a college student, or a Humanities enthusiast, we hope that you learn something new from this conversation.

As you'll learn from our conversation, Renee explains why Ruth Handler's invention of Barbie was so compelling and what inspired her fictional retelling of such an entrepreneurial tale. Before exploring the different themes in her novel, Renee shares her thoughts on the 2023 Barbie film and why, in her opinion, the film helped rebrand Barbie as a symbol of modern feminism. Renee provides many answers to questions like the reason behind Barbie's height and shoe size, why Ruth didn't intend Barbie to be an aspirational body image, and the doll that Barbie is based off of (the answer is a little raunchy)!

You'll have to listen to find out why he won't be joining me for our Queer as Folk recap show. Blair then turns to Disco Witches of Fire Island and shares how his personal experiences in the 1990s, including the AIDS crisis and his time as a bartender on Fire Island inspired the setting and themes of the novel.

Watch this episode ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get a free trial for the ITBR Professor level! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroomYou all are in for such an incredible artistic treat since I'm joined with an academic trailblazer, Dr. Jonathan D. Katz. He teaches art history at the University of Pennsylvania and is credited as one of the first founding figures of queer art history! Much of his writing explores gender, sexuality, and desire in the art world, and he talks about his new exhibit The First Homosexuals: The Birth of a New Identity, 1869-1939 currently being shown at Wrightwood 659 in Chicago. Jonathan wrote one of the first queer art history dissertations, and he explains how this topic actually led to top graduate school programs kicking him out! He describes the conservative and homophobic climate in academia during the Reagan era and the AIDS crisis, when studying queer artists and themes was highly politically charged. Then, he digs into his Gay and Lesbian Review magazine issue that he guest edited all about The First Homosexuals which features discussions about same-sex desire in both Western and Non-Western cultures. This conversation will definitely open your eyes to how prevalent same-sex desire is in the art world while at the same time so many museums and art historians are still afraid to talk openly about queer themes!

I was recently invited on the podcast Movies That Made Us Gay which features the dynamic co-hosts Peter and Scott. You can listen to the rest of the conversation on their podcast! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBm_LW3_23w&t=5333s“It's the witch from next door!” We take a trip to the theater to discuss the iconic filmed production of Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods, which was recorded for PBS American Playhouse in 1989. In one of our first opportunities to discuss Sondheim and Broadway on the podcast, we are joined by Andrew Rimby from the Ivory Tower Boiler Room. Many people hold the music from Into the Woods dear, and we are fortunate that its original cast was recorded in the spring of 1989. This Fractured Fairy Tales narrative revolves around a childless baker and his wife, who embark on a quest to start a family after a witch places a curse on them. Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, and a Rapunzel origin story are interwoven throughout the story. Bernadette Peters embodies the Witch with unparalleled talent, delivering a captivating performance in every moment. Joanna Gleason, in her Tony Award-winning role portrays the Baker's Wife with incredible grace and depth. Topics discussed include the 1988 Tony Awards, Rob Marshell's 2014 adaptation, and what Bravo Housewife would make the perfect witch.

As a culture writer and film critic, Manuel uses so many exciting pop culture examples to analyze queer male modern intimacy, including the film Cruising, Frank O'Hara's poetry, and yes even Stephen Sondheim! We get into such an interesting conversation about relationship types including friendships, casual connections, throuples, and monogamous ones. Manuel explains how his book challenges monogamy as a default relationship type, and he encourages all of us to question relationship norms! Then, I pick Manuel's brain about the nostalgia of Queer as Folk and recap episodes 14-15. Are the gay characters still relevant or do they seem like outdated gay stereotypes?

Watch this episode ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get a free trial for the ITBR Professor level! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroomJoin us "somewhere over the rainbow" for a very special all things The Wonderful Wizard of Oz universe themed episode. I'm joined with the co-editors of Broadview Press' new edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Professors Dina Schiff Massachi and Mark I. West. This episode couldn't come out (okay I couldn't help myself there) at a better time since asking someone if they were a "friend of Dorothy" was slang in the 20th century for being part of the LGBT community. First, Dina and Mark provide scholarly insight into L. Frank Baum's Oz books and how he created an original American fairy tale. We talk all about the numerous adaptations that Baum's books have inspired including the iconic MGM film, Return to Oz, and Gregory's Maguire's Wicked. As Dina reminds us, Baum's work was progressive for its time especially the strong female characters who challenge gender norms, and in Dina's opinion, Baum's Dorothy might be more feminist than Judy Garland's Dorothy! Dina and Mark explain that this new Broadview edition not only provides historical context for deeper analysis but also the original illustrations.

I just came back from my first time ever in Miami with my fiancé, and I thought why not re-air my thrilling conversation with Miami based writer Rochelle Weinstein. This aired about two years ago, and I definitely am going to have Rochelle back on to discuss her new novel We Are Made of Stars! We have an exciting conversation about what type of literature Rochelle writes which I coin "Romantic Realism." Rochelle provides so much literary insight in this episode, and she first explains why after giving birth to twin boys she knew she needed to become a writer! Then, I ask her why Miami holds such a special place in her literature and upbringing. For Rochelle, Miami is not just a literary setting, it's an atmosphere for her reader.

Broadway Musical, and we do not hold back with our reviews so buckle up for an energetic and lively conversation that asks did the musical match the energy of the TV show? Spoilers Ahead So Skip and Just Listen to the Episode If You Don't Want to Know Our True Feelings:The positive aspects first...Robyn Hurder is incredibly talented and her charisma, vocal power, and dance moves light up the stage!If you have never seen the TV show before, you are definitely going to not have as much to critique than if you were a major fan of the show (like the three of us). If you like plays that have a lot of music in them, then this musical is for you! We get into what we mean by this even though the Tony Awards have categorized this as a musical. Now our critiques...The Bombshell musical numbers are not properly highlighted and there are so many missed opportunities to explore the different dimensions of Marilyn's life. As Andrew says, this could have been a musical about any iconic celebrity's life, like Judy Garland, and it would have had the same effect. The creative team is more concerned about showing the behind the scenes of creating a Broadway musical, more so than what the material is about. Now if anyone from the creative or cast happen to encounter this review, first we absolutely love the talent that is on stage, and we are major fans of Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman's work (I mean Hairspray is iconic), we just didn't happen to thoroughly enjoy this adaptation of the TV show. We found both pros and cons in this adaptation, and we encourage everyone listening to go and see this musical. Judge it for yourself. That's what the arts are about!

He explains that his interest in psychology, filmmaking, and literature helps inform his approach to queer narratives so of course I ask him who his favorite queer authors and filmmakers are. He explains why he praised Guadagnino's Queer in his Gay and Lesbian Review article, and how the film nicely portrays the themes of loneliness and unrequited love. As a William S. Burroughs expert (the author of the Queer novel), Brian compares/contrasts the novel and the film adaptation. Then, Brian discusses his new novel Julian's Debut and explains how its premise is inspired by real-life interactions. He then explains the ethical implications of memoir writing and autofiction which is a genre that blurs the lines between reality and fabrication. Brian then gets into the legacy of author Edmund White, whose memoir he adapted into a graphic novel. This episode highlights the complexities of being a gay writer in the publishing industry.

Some of the topics we cover include Magnus Hirschfeld's institution devoted to sexual liberation, the origin story of the Mattachine society, the 1967 L.A. protest at the Black Cat, and why the NYC riots at the Stonewall Inn ushered in what many argue as the origin story for our modern-day LGBT movement!

They discuss how they first became interested in vampire literature, Robin through her fascination with Anne Rice novels in high school and Elizabeth through her interest in Southern Gothic Literature.First, Robin and Elizabeth explain their process of putting together the anthology and why Vampire Literature is organized around theme rather than chronology. Then, the discussion turns to the significance of the vampire figure and how the vampire represents themes of power, desire, consent, and blurs the boundaries between human and monster. We rate our favorite vampire figures from the monstrous Nosferatu to the seductive Lestat. And we discuss why so many gothic villains from vampires to witches speak to issues of race, gender, and sexuality.

She explains her recent work on "surveillance" in the works of Poe, Harriet Jacobs, and Charles Ball who are rarely studied together, and how they invert power dynamics.Kelly talks about how important it is to move beyond venerating traditional canonical (mostly white and male) authors and the importance of including more diverse voices and perspectives. Then, we talk about why current popular culture is interested in themes of "racial surveillance and anxiety," think Hulu's The Other Black Girl or HBO's The Gilded Age!Of particular interest to Kelly's studies is how The Other Black Girl critiques how publishing prioritizes profits over diversity and sensitivity. Kelly explains that the issues in the publishing industry that the TV show explores, is really similar to academia.You can find out more about Kelly's research and writing, including her book Slavery, Surveillance and Genre in Antebellum United States Literature. https://www.rider.edu/about/faculty-staff-directory/kelly-rossFollow ITBR on IG,@ivorytowerboilerroom and TikTok,@ivorytowerboilerroomOur Sponsors:To subscribe to The Gay and Lesbian Review visit glreview.org.

Andrew also reads from Marilyn Monroe's posthumous autobiography, “My Story” and reads: “One day a grand piano arrived at my home, it was out of condition, my mother had bought it second hand, it was for me… years later when I was beginning to earn some money from modeling I started looking for the Frederic March piano, after about a year I found it at an old auction room and bought it” depicting Marilyn's attachment to gifts from her mother and in spite of reaching various forms of fame and success she could not forget the time she spent with her mother.Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the "The Callback” episode:As Ivy and Karen both attempt to please Derek in order to win the role of Marilyn, Julia and her husband Frank become frustrated by the process of their international adoption and Eileen's acrimonious divorce complicates her attempt to finance the musical.Follow ITBR on IG,@ivorytowerboilerroom and TikTok,@ivorytowerboilerroomOur Sponsors:To subscribe to The Gay and Lesbian Review visit glreview.org.

Both Christian and Andrew agree that not many podcasts have covered the hit show Smash and there are even less TV show or movie adaptations that focus on the behind-the-scenes productions of Broadway and how it pushed the envelope in terms of storytelling and controversial topics.Christian and Andrew discuss the risky decisions made by the producers to display difficult director/actor relations as well as the difficulty in displaying a battle between two actors fighting for the leading role of Marilyn Monroe who herself was such a complex nuanced person to portray on a Broadway stage.Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the "Pilot” episode:World-renowned songwriting duo Julia Houston and Tom Levitt are inspired to create a new Broadway musical on the life of cultural icon Marilyn Monroe—instantly attracting the attention of tenacious producer Eileen Rand and brilliant yet temperamental director Derek Wills.

Jonathan Yaskoff is a talented film director, producer, and actor who recently starred in the film Bear Week Diaries (all about the iconic Provincetown Bear Week)! He was recently in the film Smothered By Mothers which stars actress Heather Matarazzo. And if you're a Real Housewives of Miami fan, you may remember him as the producer of Adriana De Moura's music video Fyah (when the women were all having a meltdown haha). We discuss some of the key storylines in Queer as Folk, like sleeping with your boss (definitely a no no), conversion therapy, and the wild parties at Babylon. Then, Jonathan reveals the behind the scenes of filming Reality TV and what it's like being on the Real Housewives. And, because Jonathan has been both behind and on the camera, he discusses his thoughts on sex scenes, nudity, and consent culture. Get ready for quite a dynamic conversation!

Aaron's book has been highly praised and won the Bronze Medal in the 2019 Foreword Indies Book Awards."Combine the sensuality and haunting nostalgia of Andre Aciman's Call Me By Your Name with the raw emotion of Kurt Cobain's songwriting, then set it to a 90s-era grunge soundtrack, and you've got Nirvana Is Here."Follow Aaron Hamburger on Instagram, @aaronhamburger1.To learn more about Aaron and his work, explore his website: https://aaronhamburger.com/To purchase Nirvana is Here head on over to: https://bookshop.org/books/nirvana-is-here/9781941110775To listen to Charlie Thurston read Nirvana is Here, head to Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/Nirvana-is-Here-Audiobook/1541431650

In honor of Felice Picano's gay literary legacy, I would like to re-feature my conversation with him that happened in April 2024. May you rest well Felice and thank you for all you did for gay rights. I'm joined with award winning author Felice Picano who was a key figure of the Greenwich Village literary community from the mid-1970s through the 1990s. He was one of the founders of the modern gay literature movement, particularly through his involvement with the literary salon the Violet Quill. He explains how Violet Quill came to be, and why he decided to co-found this literary society with six other gay writers in New York City, including Andrew Holleran and Edmund White. Their goal? To meet and give each other creative feedback at a time when gay literature wasn't being taken seriously at all. During his time in Greenwich Village's gay literary scene, Felice explains that he met many notable authors like Frank O'Hara, Allen Ginsberg, and yes even Truman Capote. In 1977, he founded Sea Horse Press, the country's first gay-oriented publishing house, and in 1981, he became editor-in-chief of The Gay Presses of New York. He continues to teach and write, and one day hopes that Hollywood matures enough to adapt more queer literature into films.You can find all of Felice's books here: https://www.felicepicano.net/

He shares how the restaurant and his family's history in Michigan since the 1800s inspired him to write the memoir to pass on this story to the next generation. He then touches on the challenges Chinese immigrants faced during that time period, including anti-Asian violence and the Chinese Exclusion Act.Then, Curtis reflects on how his intersectional identity as an Asian American, working-class person, and closeted gay youth collided in formative experiences, such as an incident at the restaurant involving a drag queen customer. He shares how the writing process allowed him to revisit and process these complex identity issues.You can get your hands on Curtis' book and learn more about his writing here:www.curtisfromdetroit.comFollow Curtis on IG,@curtischin8Follow ITBR on IG,@ivorytowerboilerroom and TikTok,@ivorytowerboilerroomOur Sponsors:To subscribe to The Gay and Lesbian Review visit glreview.org.
