“Everybody's doing it, but nobody's talking about it because it's so secretive.” Alrighty, curious people, we're getting spicy & kicking off Queer History Month with a smash (not a pass) - it's all about gay cruising this week with professor & author, Alex Espinoza. We're asking hard hitting questions like: Where was the first gloryhole? Were gays cruising during the Renaissance? Can U host? JK - but we do also talk about what apps like Grindr have done to this age old practice, and why the taboo of a sexual gathering space has been “a thing” all throughout history. Alex Espinoza is a queer writer born in Tijuana, Mexico and raised in Southern California. He is the author of “Cruising: An Intimate History of a Radical Pastime” and has written essays, reviews, and stories for the New York Times Sunday Magazine, Virginia Quarterly Review, the Los Angeles Times, LitHub, and NPR.

"The way that people talk about immigrants in the news media affects those internalized stereotypes and, also, real fears that construct or limit somebody's mobility." In this episode, Dr. Mario Alberto Viveros Espinoza-Kulick and Dr. Alex Espinoza-Kulick explore how the news media impacts the content and context of health access and decision-making among Latinx immigrant and Indigenous communities. They remind us that we need more immigration policies that center the health, well being, and dignity of migrant communities. Their research emphasizes the interconnectedness of immigration policy and public health, urging policymakers to evaluate immigration laws based on their impact on the health of communities, especially immigrant and Indigenous peoples. This episode references the article titled "Immigration Policy is Health Policy: News Media Effects on Health Disparities for Latinx Immigrant and Indigenous Groups" by Mario Alberto V. Espinoza-Kulick, MA, PhD, Alex Espinoza-Kulick, MA, PhD, Elisa González and Jodene Takahashi.

A new pair hall of famers come to the dish and one of them really makes us dig into a discussion of "value". Our Phillies continue to struggle and one of us may be getting their eulogy for the team ready. Please join us as we discuss baseball topics and we continue our mission to make The Hall small.

We first meet Angie Rubio at age five, being scolded by her kindergarten teacher for not knowing how to skip properly. Set in California in the 1960s and '70s, Living Color takes Angie year by year from kindergarten through high school, offering a portrait of the artist as a shy, awkward Mexican-American girl. Taking place against the backdrop of the Cold War and civil rights eras--the Cuban missile crisis, the Watts riots, Beatlemania, the Black Power salute at the 1968 Olympics--Living Color also surveys the milestones of American girlhood. We see Brownies, slumber parties, training bras, cheerleader tryouts, and proms through the eyes of a "brown, skinny, and bespectacled" Latina who soon learns that pageant winners as well as high school cheerleaders are always white. Donna Miscolta's new book traces Angie's formation as a writer, from the child who loves Scrabble and jots down new words she learns in a notebook to the teenager publishing controversial opinions about success and belonging, a person whose voice is now "loud-enough-to-be-heard." Miscolta is in conversation with fellow author Alex Espinoza. ________________________________________________ Produced by Maddie Gobbo & Michael Kowaleski Theme: "I Love All My Friends," a new, unreleased demo by Fragile Gang.

MLB.com A's beat writer Martín Gallegos joins host Alex Espinoza to chat about his career path from San Jose to Oakland -- and the best burrito/taco trucks he's found along the way. Gallegos details how 2020 has been an interesting year for sports journalists, who don't have their usual day-to-day access and are limited to group Zoom calls. We also discuss the benefits of being bilingual in the locker room, how the A's stack up after the trade deadline acquisitions of Mike Minor and Tommy La Stella, the five-day A's break due to a positive COVID test and more.

Jump on the G.O.A.P. bandwagon, baby, we pickin' up steam! On Episode 9, host Alex Espinoza interviews A's President Dave Kaval about the team's role in improving youth baseball around The Town. We also discussed the #BringBackDollarDogs movement, his interactions with the Giants, the Coliseum atmosphere and had a solid conversation on the complex nature of the new stadium.

He also details how he made his new 3-foot custom bobblehead of Khris Davis, converting it from a basketball player with cornrows (can you guess who?)

Get to know A's beat writer Shayna Rubin (Bay Area News Group) and hear what it's like report at a game during the 2020 pandemic. Shayna and host Alex Espinoza discuss the pros/cons of the 60-game season, women in sports, the future of sports journalism and she drops some nuggets on some personalities on the A's. The Sideshow (1:15:02) features A's superfan and LF Bleacher crew member Bryan Johansen (aka @Sandlot408 on Twitter/IG), who was part of the group that got to hang banners on the railings at the Oakland Coliseum. We discuss his experience returning to the Coliseum during the pandemic, how he became a pin collector and why he's so obsessed with A's outfielder Ramón Laureano.

You've seen him in Section 149 at the Coliseum and you've seen him eating nachos on TV at A's road games while getting a shoutout from Ray Fosse on the broadcast ... he's Will MacNeil aka @RFWill149! The A's superfan tells host Alex Espinoza about a hilarious scoreboard he's seen at a couple of games near Yuba, Calif. during the COVID-19 shutdown. We also discuss his roots as a fan, and his goals to serve as the PA announcer one day at the Coliseum. Then we hear from a couple of Bleacher OGs -- Omar Gonzalez and Anson Casanares -- who shed some light on Will's rise to A's fan fame. And did you know that the classic 90s baseball flick 'Angels in the Outfield' was filmed at the Oakland Coliseum? The Sideshow (47:11) features a conversation with fellow bleacher resident Ricky Fong, who was in attendance while the movie was filmed with such stars like Matthew McConaughey, Joseph Gordon-Leavitt, Danny Glover, Tony Danza and Christopher Lloyd.

Subtitled an “intimate history,” writer Alex Espinoza tells history intimately indeed — closely, credibly, personally — in his new book, Cruising: An Intimate History of a Radical Pastime. The celebrated novelist examines a radical pastime and retells the long story of the transgressive, thrillingly subversive, affirming act of looking for and finding sex in public […]

Alex Espinoza's live event at BookPeople Bookstore in Austin, Tx

We're joined this week by Alex Espinoza, author of the new book CRUISING: An Intimate History of a Radical Pastime, to talk about the history, present, and future of cruising.

Combining historical research and oral history with his own personal experience, Alex Espinoza examines the political and cultural forces behind this radical pastime. From Greek antiquity to the notorious Molly houses of 18th century England, the raucous 1970s to the algorithms of Grindr, Oscar Wilde to George Michael, Cruising remains at once a reclamation of public space and the creation of its own unique locale—one in which men of all races and classes interact, even in the shadow of repressive governments. In Uganda and Russia, we meet activists for whom cruising can be a matter of life and death; while in the West he shows how cruising circumvents the inequalities and abuses of power that plague heterosexual encounters. Ultimately, Espinoza illustrates how cruising functions as a powerful rebuke to patriarchy and capitalism—unless you are cruising the department store restroom, of course. Espinoza is in conversation with David Francis, author of The Great Inland Sea.

Alex Espinoza is author of Cruising: An intimate History of a Radical Pastime coming out on June 4, 2019 on Unnamed Press. He's also the author of Still Water Saints […]

The former 49ers.com and MLB.com writer joins the show to talk about the latest headlines in Bay Area sports and tell stories from his time covering the 49ers.

Poetry and the night are some of the last remaining domains of “unknowing”; places where it's acceptable to digest the world slowly and without conclusion, and where one can linger in, and traverse, experiences like solitude, impermanence, and wonder. Poets Cecily Parks and Tom Harding are both drawn to explore the intersection between the quiet tender moments of night and the act of writing and reading poetry. It's a space where one can capture fleeting wisps from the darkness, and then send them off for others to hold like fireflies in a jar. Poems from the night are like fragments of dreams forgotten upon waking, reminders of things lost to us in the day.
