Recorded Aug 10, 2024. On this episode of the Bill Alexander Show, Bill talks with Savannah Hauk. Savannah is a life-long crossdresser who began experimenting with feminine clothing at the age of 6-years-old, I grew up with the inherent understanding I was different than the other kids in the neighborhood. I grew up without the ability to easily find information about who I might be. It was only after moving to New York City in 1996 that Savannah was fully accepted, discovered and developed. Becoming more involved in the local CD community on Long Island allowed me to flourish before a move to the Bible-belt of Upstate of South Carolina broadened my involvement with the greater LGBTQ+ community and created the need for more visibility and advocacy.I have written two non-fiction books, one focused on crossdressers and their significant ones (“Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal”) and the other focused on a Crossdresser's personal development (“Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity”).I also speak at transgender and LGBTQ+ conferences, such as the Keystone Transgender Conference in Harrisburg, PA and NewYorkComingOut Transgender Conference in Manhattan, NY. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-bill-alexander-show/support

Recorded Jul 10, 2024. On this episode Bill talks with Andrea Balis & Elizabeth Levy about their book Witch Hunt. https://www.amazon.com/Witch-Hunt-Col.... A cutting-edge look into a pivotal moment in US history: McCarthy's infamous "witch hunt" for communists during the 1950's Red Scare. At the cusp of the Cold War, Americans were so afraid of communists living among them that they began to hunt them like witches. As Senator Joe McCarthy took up this mantle to hunt down “communists” in the US, citizens grew terrified of being accused, so they turned on each other - pointing fingers at neighbors, friends, and even family. Told through a unique and inviting screenplay-format, brought to life with dozens of illustrations by Tim Foley, and comprised almost entirely of quotes derived from primary sources, Witch Hunt recounts the political craze that gripped America during the Red Scare when McCarthyism forced people to go to extraordinary lengths to keep themselves and their families safe from persecution against their own government. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-bill-alexander-show/support

On this episode of The Bill Alexander Show, Bill talks with Emmy-winning actor-producer David Millbern about his documentary, the critically acclaimed "100 Years of Men in Love: The Accidental Collection" and it's newly discovered imagery that is already reaching iconic stature, which is a documentary focusing on a unique, moving and joy-filled collection of vintage photographs of men in love from the 1850s to the 1950s, taken when male partnerships were often illegal, the photos were found at flea markets, in shoe boxes, family archives, estate sales, and old suitcases. "100 Years of Men in Love” shines a light on some of that history through a selection of photographs collected by Hugh Nini and Neal Treadwell stumbled upon an old photograph of a gay couple by random and then turned it into their mission to discover more of pictures history tried to bury. As they found more and more, they realized some of these photographs dated back more than 100 years. Fans and critics, both LGBTQ and not are now applauding director David Millbern for compiling this remarkable footage. “100 Years of Men in Love” is a landmark documentary-style film that sticks close to its title and central premise. Over the course of 57 minutes, we're treated to various photographs of men expressing love for one another that date back as far as 1850 and as recent as 1955. Due to how gay couples have been treated over the course of human history, you can already tell how bold it would be for a couple to take a photograph with each other in an embrace during that time frame. The film, itself, works as a huge eye-opener to any naysayers and the current trend of anti-gay rhetoric that believe homosexuality is a more recent trend in human development. As clearly shown by these pictures, the film shows proof that same-sex dating back to the 1850s that gay men were living together in America and unafraid of showing their love in public. Punctuated between certain photos are quotes from authors such as Walt Whitman and Henry David Thoreau that illustrate how love is universal. Regardless of gender identity or race, we as humans can fall in love with one another. We shouldn't be imposing limits on our love when love is one of the strongest emotions we can give. Those who experience “100 Years of Men in Love” are treated to a selection of moments that history couldn't destroy. The love on display was so powerful, it outlived its subjects and went on to become a beacon of hope for others. "If that's not the definition of true love, I'm not sure what else could be,” says Director and Producer, David Millbern. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-bill-alexander-show/support

Goldman". Terri Jay has been doing readings by phone around the world for over 30 years. “I do everything except predictions and police work,” Jay shared. “Even though I have been doing this work for so long, I am always surprised and sometimes even shocked at the details and the information that comes through.” “I never get anything negative or scary and it has often been life-changing in an incredibly positive way,” Terri said.

On this episode of The Bill Alexander Show, Bill talks with author and Licensed Social Worker Seana Zelazo about her new book "The Way of Inanna: A Heroine's Guide to Living Unapologetically" Over 4000 years ago in ancient Sumer, some of the first mythographers inscribed the stories and myths of the Goddess Inanna on clay tablets in cuneiform. These incredible findings were unearthed, and the fragments were painstakingly pieced together and translated. What they discovered were the ways Inanna was heralded as a goddess who embodies polarities: impatient and deliberate, an attentive lover and fierce warrior, connected to fertility as well as death—making her an accessible, relatable, and inspiring representation of the Divine Feminine as she stands in her power and multidimensionality. The Way of Inanna: A Heroine's Guide to Living Unapologetically is a field guide to heart-centered living through the wisdom of the Sumerian Goddess of Love. Each chapter deconstructs sacred narratives in which the Goddess navigates the seven gates of her soul's journey from awakening to ascension. More than a simple retelling, the book is myth made manifest in which Inanna becomes a means to accessing our own ascension and alchemical magic within our modern, contemporary context. With a combined psychotherapeutic and spiritual approach, author Seana Zelazo offers rituals and practices to help readers connect directly with Inanna. From harnessing your sensual energy to reclaiming the generative capacity of the Divine Feminine and identifying and amplifying your life's purpose, you will discover the ways Inanna's process is your own.
