JV has a long distance chat from Tucson to Portland with the creator and star of “The Benefits of Gusbandry,” Alicia J. Rose and Brooke Totman, whose teen years in L.A. and southern Oregon both led to stops in San Francisco before settling in Portland, home of the artisanal everything!
PDXISH welcomes Alicia J. Rose, artist, creator, photographer—and director/masternind behind the hit web series "The Benefits of Gusbandry." Alicia has just released the second season of this incredibly honest comedy series which tells the story of a 40-year-old woman and her "gusband." The show is a hoot and so is the latest episode of PDXISH. Enjoy!
Creator, Writer, and Director Alicia J Rose joins us in studio for a hilarious conversation about creating her critically acclaimed show The Benefits of Gusbandry.
It's been one of those weeks when we almost got lost in the sheer enjoyment of the prep. 1:10 Books With Pictures - Portland has a new comic book shop, officially open for business. Books With Pictures is a cozy storefront in southeast Portland with a mission to be Portland’s most welcoming comic book shop for the people outside the industry’s marketing plan — the LGTBQ community, families, women, people of color — complete with gender neutral restrooms and comics with female protagonists and protagonists of color.7:10 Excalibur Books & Comics: A Personal History - Of course, it’s not an entirely new thing to have women running comic book stores. We also stop in and chat with Debbie Smith, the co-owner of Excalibur Books & Comics (her parents opened it 42 years ago).11:40 Summer Cannibals Barrel Us Into Summer With Addictive Poppy Punk - Summer Cannibals are a hard rocking punk band in an acoustic-loving town, and their lyrics and videos play sardonically on the anger and angst of this modern life. The band stopped by the OPB studio to play a few songs from their new album, “Full of It.”20:31 Architect Brad Cloepfil On The State Of Portland Architecture (And His Amazing National Music Centre) - Last week we took a stroll through the Portland Art Museum’s new exhibition, “Case Work,” with architect Brad Cloepfil. The show features the sketches and sculptural concept models of Cloepfil’s firm, Allied Works. This week we bring you more of that conversation, moving from his current slate of projects to the state of Portland’s building boom. 31:12 The Lost Boys Of Portlandia - This week, a group of homeless youth debuted a film that takes an iconic childhood story and puts it in the gutter — literally. Called “The Lost Boys of Portlandia,” it uses the story of Peter Pan as a vehicle to tell their story.36:20 Rhe Benefits of Gusbandry - Portland-based photographer and director Alicia J. Rose finds something magical about the relationship between a woman and her gusband (that’s short for gay husband) — a modern relationship she plumbs to hilarious effect in her new webseries, “The Benefits of Gusbandry.” Think Out Loud's Dave Miller talked with Rose and co-creator Courtenay Hameister just as their national spotlight was heating up. If social binge-watching sounds fun, check out the screening of season 1 at the Clinton Theater on June 11 for a Pride kickoff.44:22 WPA At The High Desert Museum - The High Desert Museum has a very interesting exhibition on through Oct. 2: “Art for a Nation” tells the story of creative projects in the Works Progress Administration. In addition to historic works of art, the museum commissioned three new works in the spirit of the WPA by contemporary artists, including Allan McCollum, who shows around the world at prestigious places like MOMA, the Guggenheim, and the Whitney. For the show, he teamed up with one of Bend’s busiest makers, Delia Paine. This is the story of their collaboration.
On this special festival episode, Joey catches up with Alicia J. Rose and Lara Cuddy from The Benefits of Gusbandry, and veterans of the show: Cameron McCasland, Justin Stokes, as well as Kenny Garner and crew.
Episode #15: In this episode, we explore the historical impact of musical videos by looking at the advent and evolution of MTV, and the explosion of YouTube as a format for music, and music videos. We kick off the hour with Courtney Smith, a former programmer for MTV and MTVU, who gives us a bird's eye view of how videos were selected for air, and how her days with the station were different than the early days. From there we toggle over to Ed Vetri of Wind-Up Records, who explains the importance of music videos to his label's growth, and the careers of bands like Evanescence and Creed. After that, we catch up with music video director, Alicia J. Rose, and talk to her about what's changed since she got into the directing game a decade ago. Rounding out the hour is a discussion with Jack Conte, who's band Pomplamoose has made videos a priority from the outset of their career, which eventually led him to develop the video subscription/patronage website Patreon.
