This week on Yes But Why Podcast, we are featuring comedian and podcaster, Ivy Le. Ivy Le is a Vietnamese American comedian and writer based in Austin, Texas. Ivy has performed at Bedpost Confessions, Coldtowne Theatre, the Decatur Book Festival, Kollaboration, and more! Ivy is the host and creator of the Spotify podcast, “FOGO: Fear of Going Outside: a nature show by the most reluctant host ever”. Ivy was selected to be one of the 10 out of 18,000 applicants to go through Spotify's first SoundUp podcast accelerator for women of color. She is also widely published as a reporter, a poet, and an advocate on immigration and civil rights issues. In our conversation, I talk to Ivy about what motivates her as an artist. She tells me she is obsessed with language and that makes so much sense. Ivy is pretty much always writing! We talk about money and how that can be a barrier to entry for creative aspirations. Not everyone can just go out and take acting classes or dance lessons. But “you don't need to have money to become a great writer,” she says. I love how Ivy so confidently and efficiently knocks down every obstacle in her way. Ivy currently writes in all the work she does – podcasting, public relations, journalism, comedy! Ivy tells me about the Diversity Initiative that gave her the push to start her podcasting project. We discuss current day gatekeeping and the lack of opportunities for women of color in creative fields. Despite the uphill battle, Ivy gushes about what a great and supportive community she made connecting with the other women from the Spotify SoundUp podcast accelerator. She really makes the most out of every adventure she has. Speaking of adventure, Ivy tells me about how her love of nature shows inspired her to create her podcast, “FOGO: Fear of Going Outside.” She talks about raising the money with Kickstarter and the dedication it requires to connect with the fans even before the project is made. She is an expert at marketing though, so FOGO podcast is loved by indoor people and outdoor people alike! Support Ivy Le by listening to her podcast, “FOGO: Fear of Going Outside” on Spotify TODAY!

Join us for a conversation between Nick Estes and Kim Tallbear on indigenous resistance in the context of the global pandemic. —————————— Water Protectors at Standing Rock, drawing from long traditions of resistance, used Indigenous sovereignty and mutual aid networks based on kinship as bulwarks against oil pipelines, state violence, and environmental colonialism. These two elements have helped shield Indigenous nations from the COVID-19 pandemic, but as the fossil fuel industry exploits the crisis to expand pipeline projects renewed struggle is more vital than ever. Join Nick Estes and Kim Tallbear for a virtual teach-in on what lessons today's activists can learn from these traditions of resistance. —————————— Nick Estes is a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe. He is an Assistant Professor in the American Studies Department at the University of New Mexico. In 2014, he co-founded The Red Nation, an Indigenous resistance organization. For 2017-2018, Estes was the American Democracy Fellow at the Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History at Harvard University. Estes is the author of the book Our History Is the Future: Standing Rock Versus the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the Long Tradition of Indigenous Resistance and he co-edited Standing with Standing Rock: Voices from the #NoDAPL Movement, which draws together more than thirty contributors, including leaders, scholars, and activists of the Standing Rock movement. Estes' journalism and writing is also featured in the Intercept, Jacobin, Indian Country Today, The Funambulist Magazine, and High Country News. Kim TallBear is Associate Professor, Faculty of Native Studies, University of Alberta, and Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Peoples, Technoscience & Environment. She is building a research hub in Indigenous Science, Technology, and Society. Follow them at www.IndigenousSTS.com and @indigenous_sts. TallBear is author of Native American DNA: Tribal Belonging and the False Promise of Genetic Science. Her Indigenous STS work recently turned to also address decolonial and Indigenous sexualities. She founded a University of Alberta arts-based research lab and co-produces the sexy storytelling show, Tipi Confessions, sparked by the popular Austin, Texas show, Bedpost Confessions. Building on lessons learned with geneticists about how race categories get settled, TallBear is working on a book that interrogates settler-colonial commitments to settlement in place, within disciplines, and within monogamous, state-sanctioned marriage. She is a citizen of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate in South Dakota. She tweets @KimTallBear and @CriticalPoly. —————————— Co-sponsored by Haymarket Books, The Red Nation, and Verso Books.

Well, you're about to get schooled in “Hotter, More Intensive Care.” Holly Lorka is a writer, storyteller, and retired standup comedian whose work has been included in several anthologies and podcasts, including Dan Savage’s Hot Mic.

In light of the #metoo movement, Robert Arjet calls out men to take action: "The first response that is required of us, is simple. Two words: listen and believe. Because this is not a women’s problem. It’s a men’s problem. You have to respond. You have to take a stance. You have to call other men out when they do creepy sh*t whether you saw it with your own two eyes or not." Robert, who has worked for the Texas Legislature and the Department of Family and Protective Services, enjoys policy analysis, and reads the Texas Penal Code in his spare time, shared his essay "Sexual Harassment: I Don't Get It" at the January 2018 BedPost Confessions.

Chola Magnolia's piece "Stand Femme" speaks to femmephobia and femme invisibility within the queer community and how it spreads to society and vice versa. “Femme” is a lesbian identity that was created in the working class lesbian bar culture of the 1950’s. It was a term used to distinguish feminine lesbians and bisexual women from their butch/masculine counterparts and partners. Today it might also represent a gay non-binary individual, an asexual transwoman, or used to self-describe queer femininity for persons of any gender. In short, femme identification, both aesthetically and identity-related, means you are feminine AND you fall somewhere on the LGBTQIA spectrum.Learn more about BedPost Confessions: https://bedpostconfessions.com/https://www.instagram.com/bedpostconfessions/https://bedpostconfessions.com/swagFollow Chola Magnolia: https://www.instagram.com/cholamagnoliahttps://www.instagram.com/fatbottomcabarethttps://www.facebook.com/themidnightmenagerie See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sex: (Almost) everybody does it and (almost) nobody talks about it, except for the squad of course! We tackled this topic in Season 1 when the squad shared their personal experiences with sex after baby, but today we are ready to dive in deeper than ever before! Today we are thrilled to have Miranda Wylie in the studio with us to help us unravel all things sex, sexuality, body image, feminism and beyond! Miranda is the co-founder and producer of BedPost Confessions, a live storytelling series here in Austin and also programs content for SXSW. Stay tuned this March for sessions on women's health, body hair, cultural appropriation and as many conversations on intersectionality as possible. The ex-New Yorker turned Austinite is a storyteller who advocates for sexual literacy and emotional justice, and whose feminist lens serves her in parenting away from the "boys will be boys" mentality. Miranda's latest project, the SEEN podcast, asks people to reflect on the ways they are seen, or rendered invisible by loved ones, strangers, and most of all themselves.

Can a DNA test make me Native American? As direct-to-consumer ancestry DNA tests gain popularity and narratives of “discovering” or “proving” Native American ancestry through DNA swirl through the media—what does that mean for Indigenous nations? On this episode we talk with the amazing, badass, super cool Dr. Kim Tallbear (Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate), who literally wrote the book on Native American DNA. We talk about the concept of “Native DNA,” the problems of ancestry DNA tests, challenges in these areas for Native communities moving forward, Elizabeth Warren, the politics of research in Indigenous communities, and offer potential alternatives for thinking about kinship as a marker of Native belonging rather than false promises of DNA.Kim Tallbear Bio:Dr. Kimberly Tallbear - is Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate and also descended from the Cheyenne Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma. She’s an Associate Professor in the faculty of Native Studies at the University of Alberta where she holds a Canadian Research Chair in Indigenous Peoples, Technoscience, and Environment. .In 2013 She literally wrote the book on Native American DNA, entitled: “Native American DNA: Tribal belonging and the false promise of genetic science”. Her Indigenous Science, Technology, and Society work recently turned to also address decolonial and Indigenous sexualities, specifically on decolonizing the centering of monogamy that she characterizes as emblematic of "settler sexualities." This builds on work she has been doing in a blog written under an alter ego, "The Critical Polyamorist." Through this work she founded a University of Alberta arts-based research lab and co-produces the sexy storytelling show, Tipi Confessions, sparked by the popular Austin, Texas show, Bedpost Confessions. She also is active on twitter, is a role model to many of us as an indigenous researcher, public scholar, and feminist scholar.Links and resources:Kim’s book, “Native American DNA: Tribal Belonging and the False Promise of Genetic Science”: https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/native-american-dnaKim’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/KimTallBearKim's weekly Indigenous media podcast, Media Indigena: https://www.mediaindigena.com/podcast/The Summer internship for INdigenous peoples in Genomics (SING) Workshop: https://sing.igb.illinois.edu/If you need more context and understanding on the whole Elizabeth Warren thing, Adrienne and her fellow Cherokee colleagues Joseph Pierce and Rebecca Nagle made The Elizabeth Warren Syllabus: http://www.criticalethnicstudiesjournal.org/blog/2018/12/19/syllabus-elizabeth-warren-cherokee-citizenship-and-dna-testingSupport the show (https://www.paypal.me/amrpodcast)

Miranda Wylie (aka Mia Martina) is the co-creator of "BedPost Confessions," a sex-positive storytelling show that started in Austin in 2010 and has now expanded to Oregon, Colorado, and indigenous communities in Canada. Ahead of two sure-to-be-packed BedPost Confession nights at the North Door next week, we talked with the Miranda about her new podcast, "Seen with Miranda," where she interviews guests on the way others see them, the way they see themselves and the distance between. ALSO: Stephanie Lang, a program director at UT's Warfield Center, commissioned a photo exhibit called "Seen & Unseen: A Sunday Afternoon in Clarksville" that will be on display through June 1. Lang, a fifth generation Austinite, chatted with Addie about the found objects and people featured in the photos and several upcoming walking tours of this historic district. Eric Webb joined Omar and Tolly to talk about a study that recently found suggests that regular concert attendance will boost your lifespan, and in A Toast, we gave a shout out to Nothing Bundt Cakes, Half Price Books and Crux Climbing Center.

Hey friends, it's Sara! Even though the show is technically still on hiatus until October, I thought it might be fun to share two performances I recently had at sex positive events. I grabbed the audio track from when I performed my monologue about my first threesome at Bedpost Confessions and also the poetry I read as a speaker at Slutwalk 2017. I hope you enjoy these quickies, and we will be back in the middle of October with another full-size episode hosted by myself and Jay. vwpagifu
