Podcast appearances and mentions of Isaac Oliver

Judson tells Brian about his first week back at work, which wasn't without its shocking moments. The two then recount their double date at the new Broadway musical they both loved, Just In Time, starring Jonathan Groff as Bobby Darin and co-authored by previous Dads and Daddies guest Isaac Oliver. Judson and Brian then welcome Sex & Intimacy Coach, Surrogate Partner, and Sacred Intimate Court Vox to the podcast. Court shares how he helps people develop and grow their comfort around touch, eroticism and sexuality and provides his unique insights on body autonomy, the limitations of the apps, the similarities between parents and doms, and so much more.  He then helps Judson and Brian respond to a question from a listener who wants to give his younger partner the freedom to explore sex with others but fears it could mean losing him.   Find Court at TheBodyVox.com, on Instagram at @thebodyvox, or check out his Linktree for all other ways to connect at linktr.ee/CourtVox   Dads and Daddies on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dadsanddaddiespod Dads and Daddies on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dadsanddaddiespod Dads and Daddies on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/dadsanddaddiespod.bsky.social

Judson shares some very personal news before moving into a recap of his recent trip to Las Vegas. Judson and Brian are then joined by award-winning playwright, author and performer Isaac Oliver. Isaac gives the two a sneak peek into his exciting projects–the upcoming Broadway musical ‘Just In Time' starring Jonathan Groff, for which he's co-writing the book, and the upcoming TV series, ‘Etoile,' Amy Sherman-Palladino's follow-up to ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,' which he describes as a workplace comedy set in the world of Ballet, and on which he is a writer. The three then discuss the virtues of sex workers, the difference between sensual and erotic massage, and Judson and Brian's recent discovery of the oral sex-forward hookup app, TheBlowers.  They then move into a Halloween-inspired sharing of Hookup Horror Stories–their own, and some submitted by listeners. They end by providing very different but complementary answers to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener looking for tips to improve their oral sex techniques.

 Isaac Oliver -- scribe, memoirist and all-around delight -- joins to help further the discourse on both intimacy between gay male friends and the value of pineapple on pizza. (Pineapple?! On pizza?! Fuhgeddaboudit!) Then, remember covid? We sure don't! Plus, nepo baby and human grease fire Kid Rock gets SOOOO MADDDD at beer...because...trans?

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Donne (1573-1631), known now as one of England's finest poets of love and notable in his own time as an astonishing preacher. He was born a Catholic in a Protestant country and, when he married Anne More without her father's knowledge, Donne lost his job in the government circle and fell into a poverty that only ended once he became a priest in the Church of England. As Dean of St Paul's Cathedral, his sermons were celebrated, perhaps none more than his final one in 1631 when he was plainly in his dying days, as if preaching at his own funeral. The image above is from a miniature in the Royal Collection and was painted in 1616 by Isaac Oliver (1565-1617) With Mary Ann Lund Associate Professor in Renaissance English Literature at the University of Leicester Sue Wiseman Professor of Seventeenth Century Literature at Birkbeck, University of London And Hugh Adlington Professor of English Literature at the University of Birmingham

An aspiring writer (Isaac Oliver) who dreams of learning the secrets of the human heart summons an ancient demon (Vera Beren). Good thing he's got tech support (Jay O. Sanders).

After the play, host Claudia Catania joins the playwright, director, and cast for a behind the scenes interview.

Does the author of Luke-Acts write off the Jewish people, or does his presentation demonstrate that hopes for the restoration of Israel were very much still alive within the early church? In Luke's Jewish Eschatology (Oxford University Press, 2021), Isaac W. Oliver investigates Luke's perspective on the salvation of Israel in light of Jewish restoration eschatology, situating Luke-Acts in the aftermath of the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. The author of Luke-Acts, Oliver cogently argues, still awaited the restoration of Israel. Luke conceived of Israel's eschatological restoration in traditional Jewish terms. Join us as we hear from Isaac Oliver on his latest book, Luke's Jewish Eschatology: The National Restoration of Israel in Luke-Acts (Oxford UP, 2021).

Time Out New York once said of Isaac Oliver: "If David Sedaris and Fran Lebowitz had a baby who wrote about subways, theater patrons, and blow jobs, he might be a lot like Isaac Oliver." The author of the hilarious book of essays, Intimacy Idiot, artist-in-residence at Joe's Pub, and television writer (High Maintenance, GLOW) joins us this week and boy is he in need of some serious lunch therapy. Find out why Isaac eats lunch at 5 o'clock, how he likes to be bossed around by Ottolenghi recipes ("he's got me up to my elbows in harissa!"), why his parents helped him choose a porn to watch on Christmas (!), his relationship to Baltimore crabs, and why he's terrified of cooking for others.

One of the primary arguments a prominent Jewish counter-missionary gave us for why we should leave Messianic Judaism is that Jesus was a copy of pagan myths and never existed as a historical figure. In this final video of the three-part series, we show why this argument is historically implausible based on what our sources tell us about first-century Jewish views of paganism and the fact that the early Jesus movement was a sect within Judaism.

Hi Divas! This week, Allen chats with author and screenwriter Isaac Oliver (@mrisaacoliver) to discuss possibly the greatest singer of our time: Whitney Houston. We open the interview with Allen gushing about Isaac's time writing for HBO's High Maintenance and Netflix's GLOW. Then Isaac reminisces about making carpet angels in his childhood bedroom while listening to "I Will Alway Love You" on repeat. It's the perfect pop ballad. We then get right into the meat of it all by discussing Robyn Crawford erasure and Whitney's probably fluid sexuality. Isaac then shares Whitney's most divatastic performances: "Why Does It Hurt So Bad?" at the MTV Movie awards, "IWALY" at Divas Live, and her mash up of "I Loves You Porgy/ And I am Telling You/ I Have Nothing." Not to mention her iconic Star Spangled Banner. We also discuss the dichotomy of The Bodyguard: terrible movie, but incredible soundtrack... well, Side A, at least. We will never have another like her. The conversation then dives into her relationship with Bobby Brown, and her complicated monetary relationships with her family. She had everyone on payroll! Isaac believes she was a divine being who should have been protected, and let's face it, we all agree. Finally we close out the interview with Isaac professing his care and thanking Whitney for all she did. He'd also love to give her some Brené Brown books. Come worship with us!

Isaac is an author, playwright and stage comic. His debut book ‘Intimacy Idiot’ was released in 2015 to widespread acclaim. The book details all the hilarious encounters Isaac has had with men, whilst dating in the Big Apple. New York magazine have described him as a ‘monstrous new talent’ and the book featured on a number of ‘best of’ lists that year. I read it during the earlier stages of lockdown & it provided me with some much needed light relief in these very strange & bleak times. He has also written for HBO’s ‘High Maintenance’ and ‘Glow’, which is currently on Netflix so make sure to check it out. Our transatlantic call took place a few weeks ago and we chatted about; what inspired him to write a book on dating, why his religious parents were so accepting & open-minded, his production of ‘Batman v Catwoman on Skates’ as a child, how his parents accidentally discovered he was gay, his perrenial crush on Ryan Phillippe, the gay scene in New York, writing erotic poetry as a teenager about Brad Renfro, why he doesn’t believe there’s an endless supply of 'fish in the sea' and lots of other things. Please follow me on social media if you want to leave feedback on this or any of the other interviews and for updates on future episodes. I can be found @imcomingoutpod on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram. Hope you enjoy the episode :)

We just love our old friend Isaac Oliver a ton, so it was wonderful to catch up with him this week on the pod, and not just on Marco Polo like usual.

High Maintenance, the critically acclaimed series that made the leap from web series to TV in 2012 and now in its fourth season, was recently hailed as one of 2019’s “Best Shows of 2019” by The New Yorker. Created by Katja Blichfeld (Emmy®-winning casting director of 30 Rock) and Ben Sinclair (Maniac, Home Again), the series centers around The Guy, a marijuana dealer who traverses the city on his bicycle, to connect a variety of distinctly authentic, empathetic, and insightful stories about the New York community, including his own. Join Sinclair, Blichfeld, and their fellow executive producer Russell Gregory, along with a behind-the-scenes discussion about this highly loving and original show.

In perhaps the most emotional episode to date, stand-up Mary Beth Barone joins David for a full-on fuckboy intervention. After crushing Comedy Central's Clusterfest, Barone is back with another edition of Drag His Ass: A Fuckboy Treatment Program (Chelsea Music Hall, August 8 at 8pm), where she and a lineup of comedians take down the entitled men who have come and ghosted them. David and Mary Beth talk about art, authenticity, and, naturally, the undeserving men who they've let in their lives. If you've survived a ghosting or let your standards slip for a sweet-talking SoulCycle instructor, this episode could prove critical in your healing process. Join the church of Mary Beth at marybethbarone.com and @marybethbarone on Instagram and Twitter.  And be sure to join David for another live edition of The Luminaries at Housing Works Bookstore Cafe on Monday, July 29 at 7pm. He'll be hosting a live conversation with NYC writer/performers Amanda Duarte and Isaac Oliver. Check out davidgoldberg.online for tickets.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Hannah French delves into the life and legacy of an extraordinary 16th-century polymath - Edward Herbert, Lord Herbert of Cherbury. She meets Dr John Chu, Assistant Curator of Pictures and Sculpture at the National Trust who shows her the portrait of Lord Herbert currently on display at the National Portrait Gallery. John takes Hannah on a tour of Lord Herbert's haunts in central London. Herbert is one of those vital people in the history of music – an artist and an informed observer. He was an accomplished lutenist, and compiled a book of lute music (some of which he wrote himself) which survives in manuscript. But he travelled and heard the latest and greatest music. He was in fact a soldier, diplomat, historian, poet, philosopher, and considered one of the most handsome of courtiers, even by Queen Elizabeth I. In London he heard Byrd and Bull at the Chapel Royal, in Paris he attended the Balls and Masks of the French Royal Court, and in Italy he encountered Bartolomeo Barbarino and Claudio Monteverdi. In this programme we learn more about this dashing young man, ‘in greate Esteeme both in Court and Citty', who offered his poetry to musicians across the continent.

On today's episode I talk to award-winning playwright, author, and performer Isaac Oliver. His debut collection of essays, Intimacy Idiot, was named one of NPR's Best Books of 2015. His plays include Electra in a One-Piece, and the ten-minute plays “3, 2, 1,” “Film Forum,” and “Come Here”, which won the New York Innovative Theatre Award for Outstanding Original Short Script. Additionally, he's written for The New York Times, W Magazine, Time Out New York, Out, and HBO's High Maintenance. This is the website for Beginnings, subscribe on iTunes, follow me on Twitter.

Oh, hey.  I'll be with you as soon as I can start this episode.  There!  And now, let's check in with Desi del Valle on her tanning rituals.  Once done there, Pushy Muldowney tells of that old roller derby injury.  Then we discover a world where there is tagging in real life conversations.  This is followed by Isaac Oliver and that odd text he received.  And Greg Dubin is back to remember that two-part celebrity sighting.

  Isaac Oliver - author of the acclaimed memoir "Intimacy Idiot," called by "laugh-out-loud funny" by National Public Radio - talks online dating, casual sex, hookup apps and the current political upheaval. Plus, Justin reveals the reasons his live variety show The Meeting* will end after its eighth and final season this year.

Isaac Oliver is the author of INTIMACY IDIOT, which was named one of NPR's Best Books of 2015. Even if you read it in 2016, you'll see why his writing has been featured on BuzzFeed, Gawker, and Out Magazine. A gifted storyteller, Isaac Oliver regularly performs his stories. It was delightful to interview him live at Joe's Pub at The Public Theater.

No, we're not fed up with Jason, so don't start any rumors on the podcast blogs.  (Although there is a challenge at the top of the episode.)  This time, as we crest a half-century of episodes, Isaac Oliver starts by explaining how comfy his buyer's remorse is.  Then Rebecca Vigil tells of that time she got REALLY close to an almost celebrity.  The podcastical premiere of "Pull the Front to the Side" follows next to invoke shock and awe.  And lastly, Grady Dennis remembers when Jason let that blonde guy in and he wasn't supposed to.

Isaac Oliver is the author of the critically acclaimed memoir (in other words--one of NPR's Best Books of 2015) Intimacy Idiot. So who better to talk to about music in our dating lives--when it's our best friend, when it's our armor, when it's the sorceress that summons the object of our desire. (And when it's the thing that makes us say ridiculous stuff like that.)

They've just started to board my flight, but I have time to tell you about this 42nd spool of yuks and yarns we have here.  Ginger Kearns is first with her Dad's extreme reaction to food that's touching.  Then Mark Sam Rosenthal stops by with two tales in which he realized he should have known better.  Dana Rossi is interrupted by a call from her Mom, before Katie Compa tells how closely her grandmother adhered to rules.  And lastly, Isaac Oliver remembers the time he was in Ohio and just needed a vegetable.

Isaac Oliver, a writer, performer, and author of "Intimacy Idiot", on his dating experiences, queer dating, and stories from the book. Mitch Mayne, a writer, shares research by Family Acceptance Project, gay youth suicide, and the importance of supporting the LGBTQ community.

Give us a kiss...it's the season, no? That's just our way of welcoming you to Sketch Pod, where in fact, our first topic is 'Valentine's Day - Yay or Nay?' This edition we also offer Pushy Muldowney and the tale of some special Valentines received. Rebecca Vigil is on board as well to tell of an awkward first date. If that weren't enough, Isaac Oliver will also thrill with the story of a pair of intriguing co-workers. And sprinkled over top are several promos for Alec Baldwin's killer new podcast "Here's the Ouija Thing." Smooches!

OMG, you scared me!  Isaac Oliver (Intimacy Idiot) is in the guest star chair this week and you REALLY should have warned me before touching me.  Sharon discusses her upcoming surgery with Isaac, before the two segue seamlessly into tales of online dating app usage.  "The Half-Kiss" is then analyzed in detail.  And we finish with Isaac telling of his experiences while recording his audiobook.  Beets and meatsuits and peen!  We've got it all this episode.
