One of the biggest stars in Prohibition Age New York was blues singer Gladys Bentley, who caused a stir in Harlem, wearing a top hat and tails, flirting with women in the audience, and singing raunchy lyrics. Despite Bentley's phenomenal talent, the repeal of Prohibition and the end of the jazz age led to waning interest in the type of bawdy performance for which she was known. Despite attempts to change with the times, Bentley was never again able to reach the level of fame she had once enjoyed. Joining me in this episode to discuss Gladys Bentley and queer Black women performers in Prohibition Age New York is Dr. Cookie Woolner, Associate Professor of History at the University of Memphis and author of The Famous Lady Lovers: Black Women and Queer Desire before Stonewall. Our theme song is Frogs Legs Rag, composed by James Scott and performed by Kevin MacLeod, licensed under Creative Commons. The mid-episode music is “Them There Eyes,” performed by Gladys Bentley on You Bet Your Life on May 15, 1958. The episode image is a photo of Gladys Bentley on a card distributed by the Harry Walker Agency, with a caption that reads: “America's Greatest Sepia Player -- Brown Bomber of Sophisticated Songs;” the photo is in the Collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture and is in the public domain.

In this episode, Stephen, Tim, Richard, and Kelly discuss:  How to define a speakers bureau.  Various types of speakers bureau models, how they work, and why they are advantageous for both planners and speakers.  Advantages for working with a bureau who is a member of IASB.  How the speaker industry has changed over the last 10 years, and where it is going in the next 10 years.     Key Takeaways:  Speakers bureaus work a lot like sports agencies, managing the logics and details for you.  Have a feel for the group for whom you are looking for a speaker – that needs to be formulated up front.  The internet is not the best place to start your search for a speaker – working with an IASB bureau brings credibility and ease to booking your speaker.  As a speaker, get the experience – do your 10,000 – that’s how you’re going to get noticed.     "For a meeting planner, I would advise reaching out to a bureau. Not only to save your time, but also, this is one small part of what you do. The goal is to make it as easy and seamless as possible, because when a meeting planner puts up a speaker for an event, it’s their reputation on the line within their own company. And our job is to make them look like the hero." —  Kelly Eger     Connect with Stephen Kirkpatrick & Richard Schelp at Executive Speakers Bureau:  Twitter: @ExecSpeakers Facebook: Executive Speakers Bureau Website: ExecutiveSpeakers.com YouTube: Executive Speakers Bureau: Book Keynote Speakers LinkedIn: Executive Speakers Bureau     Connect with Kelly Eger at The Harry Walker Agency:  Twitter: @hwaspeakers Facebook: The Harry Walker Agency Website: HarryWalker.com YouTube: HWASpeakersBureau LinkedIn: The Harry Walker Agency     Connect with Tim Mathy at SpeakInc.:  Twitter: @speakinc Facebook: Speak Inc. Website: SpeakInc.com  YouTube: speakinc LinkedIn: SpeakInc     Connect with IASB:  Twitter: @IASBWEB Facebook: International Association of Speakers Bureaus Website: IASBWeb.org LinkedIn: International Association of Speakers Bureaus    Guest Bios: Stephen Kirkpatrick, Executive Speakers Bureau Stephen Kirkpatrick joined Executive Speakers Bureau in 2015.
