It's World Pride 2023 and the queer globe is converging on Sydney Australia to celebrate diversity, inclusion, community and fabulousness! To mark this momentous event the STAGES podcast is saluting the cast of captivating drag divas and personalities who have been featured on the podcast during the past 5 seasons. They are artists who have appeared on national and global stages; thrilling audiences, making a difference, healing community and expressing unique and wondrous talents. We spotlight these episodes so you can savour a second listen - or so you can sample the delights of these entertainers for the very first time. A Diva a day for each day of World Pride! In the bohemian world that is drag, few artists can lay claim to the exulted and ebullient eccentricity that is Cindy Pastel. The alter ego of performer Ritchie Finger, Cindy has been delighting, thrilling and astonishing audiences for close to 45 years. Guided through life by a signature catch cry ‘Is Everybody Happy?' Pastel has ensured that we are always a satisfied audience. A unique talent, Finger has inspired generations of drag performers who have followed in his fabulous footsteps - whether they be in stilettos or skates. Ritchie Finger arrived in Sydney from Melbourne in 1979 and became one of the many young drag addicts to work at Patches (later DCM) Nightclub on Sydney's celebrated Oxford street. An auspicious beginning, entering a talent quest under the drag name Barbara Mattel (Barbie), allowed Finger to make an indelible impression. Though he didn't earn a place. Finger discovered ‘Barbie' had a younger sister and so, Cindy Pastel was born. The song that Finger performed was ‘A Love Like Yours Don't Keep Knocking Every Day' featuring both Sonny AND Cher. “Once on stage I felt like I had been there before and my world became my stage for evermore”. In the early part of the A.I.D.S. crisis, Pastel was a tireless worker for HIV/AIDS organisations and charities. The decimation of community was enormous and Pastel states “I believe the microphone was my personal way of unleashing anger towards the hideous disease. I felt like an Andrews sister doing her bit through shows during war time”. Cindy Pastel exploded in the 80's and was in high demand performing shows at the Hordern Pavillion for Mardi Gras, Sleaze Ball, Bacchanalia, Rat, and Sweatbox parties. Cindy Pastel worked at The iconic Albury Hotel for many years forming a group called ‘The Showbags' consisting of Miss 3D, Twisty (Pat Gently) and numerous other showbag fill-ins such as Kandy Conrad and Sara Pax. Cindy formed other drag ensembles at pubs and clubs like Stranded Nightclub, where she worked with Channelle Saint Laurent and Christina. They were called ‘The 3C's' At The Exchange Hotel Cindy performed with a group called ‘Mixed Company' with Julie Ashton, Ginger Benson, and Polly Petrie as the male dancer. Finger's performance work has also extended beyond drag as an actor in Richard Wherett's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, staged at The Sydney Opera House and roles in the films The Everlasting Secret Family, Desire, Hand Job, Gone Tomorrow and the documentary Ladies Please! The celebrated film Priscilla - Queen of the Desert entered Ritchie Finger's world when his life story inspired the character of Tick, played by Hugo Weaving. Finger travelled to London and The Cannes film festival to promote the film and further his own adventure. A delicious icing for the remarkable cake of Ritchie Finger's career was sitting in the silver shoe atop the Priscilla bus, in the closing ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics. A recognition that celebrated the seminal film and the fabulous community of drag queens who have worked the stages of Sydney. Cindy Pastel has been recognised by the DIVAs - The Drag Industry Variety Awards - twice in her illustrious career. A career that has reached incredible peaks and challenged with occasional obstacles. But through it all Ritchie Finger

Jenny Shank grew up in southeast Denver, but when it was time for school, she was bused all over the city — from an elementary school with a Chicano-rooted curriculum on the West Side to a predominantly Black middle school near Five Points. And it was those experiences that informed her new collection of short stories, “Mixed Company.” It explores all the awkward, comical, and challenging ways that very different kinds of Coloradans can find connection. The book has been awarded the George Garrett Fiction Prize and a Colorado Book Award since it was released last November — which is when host Bree Davies sat down with Shank to talk about their shared history with Denver Public Schools and busing, and how they understand their similar education experiences differently today. NOTE: This interview originally aired in November 2021, and is back as part of our special summer book series. Tune in all week for more reading recommendations!

Today on Colorado Edition, we speak to Jenny Shank about her book, Mixed Company, that celebrates diverse voices and perspectives in the city of Denver.
In today's episode, I'm talking to a dear friend, writer Jenny Shank. Jenny's short story collection Mixed Company won the George Garrett Fiction Prize and was published by Texas Review Press in November 2021. From JennyShank.com: In Mixed Company Jenny Shank reveals moments of grace and connection between people of her hometown, Denver, through stories that contrast the city during its oil-bust era of economic troubles and court-ordered crosstown busing for racial desegregation with the burgeoning and gentrifying city of recent years. In "Hurts," a girls' basketball team at a majority Black Denver high school clashes with a white mountain team. In "Casa del Rey," a cautious pregnant woman must contend with her out-of-control and intrusive neighbor. In "La Sexycana," a bottom-feeding journalist ventures to a dance club to confront the young Latina woman she mentored as a teenager who then cut off all contact with her. "Lightest Lights Against Darkest Darks" follows a white middle schooler bused to a majority Black school who falls under the spell of her magnetic and racially ambiguous art teacher. In "Signing for Linemen," a graduate student in medieval literature takes a job as a summer tutor for a college football team and ends up learning more than she expected about athletes, American Sign Language, and herself. In "Local Honey," middle-aged white parents bring their adopted Black teenage son to a Wu-Tang Clan concert in an attempt to bond with him. The characters find their initial perceptions and ideas overturned in these stories laced with humor, heart, and grit. Jenny Shank forges fiction out of the sparks that fly when diverse people encounter one another.

Having that community talk can be an emotionally draining ordeal. It is also interesting to see how mixed company responds to these issues of the black community, but it is even more fascinating as to how the black community embraces ourselves in accordance to those same issues. There has been a major disconnect from the American Eurocentric influences to our own Afro American culture. What we are told about a national standard of beauty and what our own cultural identity is are not closely related and we will NOT allow that vision to skew our own true beauty. No matter if you view hair by different levels of good or if you are happy to be nappy, you are still gorgeous. No matter if your color represents a greater struggle than another of whom is lighter, you are still strength. Your black is bold and your description unlike any other is NOT negative but only uniquely different and owned by only YOU. There is no "ism" strong enough to coddle you and no code switching that will ever misrepresent who you are. Join in the conversation as the IRSPNSBL crew decides to have these tough talks amongst mixed company and..... you know what, just listen for yourself.

Raw and unfiltered, the Mixed Company Podcast is much more than a show about diversity, inclusion and social equity in the creative industries. It’s a much-needed breath of fresh — yet sometimes uncomfortable — air for an industry that struggles to understand the power that all voices and backgrounds can bring to its success and future. The hosts: Karinna Schultz, Simeon Coker (the first man to join us on the podcast) and Kai Deveraux Lawson have strong industry chops. Schultz works as a senior account executive at Saatchi & Saatchi Wellness; Coker has deep experience working with brands like Nike and Verizon at a variety of shops; and Lawson is a senior project manager at AKQA, working on Maybelline, DVF and more. Much like Mixed Company’s podcast, the conversation was wide and deep with observations, practical advice and passionate wisdom for any professional at any level in the advertising and marketing industry. On the topic of what each has learned that has surprised them lately, Lawson pointed to setting boundaries as an essential mechanism to keep from getting drained. Schultz learned the importance of simply going for it, especially with the podcast, while Coker found that his vision for the social venture he’s building, Indigo & Pyrite, can only be created his way to ensure its success. In 2018, Coker believes that we should be talking about practical ways to truly reach diversity and inclusion goals — after almost 50 years of conversation. “This industry prides itself on being strategic,” he said. “At this point, we should be seeing results that reflect what we always talk about.” Lawson concurred: “We should just be doing — and I think we’re seeing that a lot with movements starting and we’re also seeing that people are more comfortable getting their hands dirty.” In Schultz mind, like Coker and Lawson, it comes down to momentum. “The great thing is that there are so many voices that are being uplifted and there’s change actually happening,” she said. “[But] it’s keeping that momentum. It’s one thing to be a flash in the pan, but there’s also the encouragement to keep that light going.” The advice each gave was sage and, again, important reminders for people at any level of the industry. Schultz reminded us of the importance of taking time for oneself and the positive benefits, especially mentally, it can create. Coker discussed how critical and transformative it is to ask for help, while Lawson, a Philadelphia native, said simply, that it’s always good to “go ahead and shake some shit up.”

For part 3, BrownTown grows in size as we dissect the issues of previous episodes firsthand with all Episode 8 guests--Jamie Nesbitt, Madison Zielinski, Joanna Preston, and Larone Ellison. Due to the chaotic nature of the original recording, we chose not to release the raw episode in its entirety. Instead, Caullen and David look back at their unexpected interruption and highlight key points of that night in an effort to find the larger themes at play. What results is an attempt to take as much away from a real life experience as possible. Originally recorded in August 2017. -- CREDITS: Intro music Complexion (A Zulu Love) by Kendrick Lamar ft. Rapsody. Outro music Sharp Shooters by Dead Prez. Audio engineered by Genta Tamashiro. -- Bourbon ’n BrownTown Site | Become a Patron on Patreon!
