Lindsay Amer is someone we all should be aware of. Their TED talk, launched in June 2019, surpassed one million views within just a few weeks. This seven-minute video, which you should watch or listen to as soon as you can, begins with Lindsay singing and playing the theme song to their four-season YouTube video series called Queer Kids Stuff and ends with a very real entreaty for better LGBTQ+ representation in media and better conversations with kids, to arm them with a better understanding of the world outside the mainly heterosexual-presenting and cis, or normal, gender environment that makes up most media consumed by both kids and adults. The Queer Kid Stuff video series is very different from the Minecraft streams and political vitriol that makes up a lot of what uncurated YouTube has become. It’s fresh, bright, friendly, upbeat, welcoming, entertaining, and educational. All done with Lindsay, the engaging host, and their co-host, a voiced-over teddy bear, behind a desk covered in letter blocks that spell out words like ‘Intersex.’ Queer Kid Stuff is uncomfortable in a heteronormative world, and that’s the point. Lindsay Amer’s professional theatric and media life has centered around pushing the bleeding-edge boundary of what we’re okay with, backed by a very real urgency: to reach kids who may be struggling now with the sorts of topics they cover in their videos. Success is weird. What is it about creation and creativity that draws us, pulls at our souls to do something outside ourselves? It’s a wrongness with the world, a missing piece or an injustice or something about yourself that needs to grow and fill the space inside. And what happens when you grow and finish and do and become isn’t always painless and is instead frequently quite painful and difficult. The simple act of creating anything new in the world is difficult enough, let alone putting into that creation a passion informed by pain and struggle, knowing that hateful, bigoted headwinds are coming and won’t let up for a minute. Still. Lindsay has kept it up for four years and shows no signs of slowing down. Please enjoy as we explore Lindsay Amer’s verse! #VerseShow comprises conversations that give voice to creators, their process, their struggles, and the celebrations of their work. It's an interview podcast with a bend toward curiosity about the creative process.
Lindsay Amer is the creator of "Queer Kid Stuff," an educational video series that breaks down complex ideas around gender and sexuality through songs and metaphors. By giving kids and their families a vocabulary to express themselves, Amer is helping to create more empathetic adults -- and spreading a message of radical acceptance in a world where it's sometimes dangerous to just be yourself. "I want kids to grow up and into themselves with pride for who they are and who they can be," Amer says. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

린지 에이머는 교육용 동영상 시리즈인 "퀴어 키드 스터프(Queer Kid Stuff)"의 제작자로, 노래와 은유를 통해 젠더와 섹슈얼리티에 대한 복잡한 개념을 무너뜨리고 있습니다. 아이들과 그 가족들에게 자신을 표현할 수 있는 단어를 알려주고, 때로는 그저 나 자신으로 사는 것이 위험할 수도 있는 세상에서 급진적인 이해와 수용의 메시지를 퍼뜨리는 에이머는 더 많은 어른들이 공감 능력을 가지게 되기를 소망합니다. 에이머는 말합니다. "저는 아이들이 자신이 어떤 사람이고, 어떤 사람이 될 수 있는지에 대한 자부심을 가지고 자라나길 원합니다."

Part two of our children's episode is an interview with Lindsay Amer, the creator and host of the YouTube channel Queer Kid Stuff. We talk to them about their co-host Teddy, a nonbinary teddy bear, their favorite show Danger and Eggs, and the hate that inevitably comes with being a pioneer in one's field. Then we finish off with a spooky Halloween game, which would have been perfectly timed if this episode had come out last Monday. But since when have we ever been topical???
