Podcast appearances and mentions of Randy Harrison

STEWART WADE From a young age, Stewart Wade knew he wanted to tell stories. He performed skits in the backyard for his captive parents and friends, and attempted his first novel at age ten.  A bit later, Stewart tried his hand at poetry, short stories, and playwriting, ultimately getting a Master's degree in Theater, Film and Television from UCLA.    After a few years in the Hollywood trenches, Stewart wrote and directed his first feature film, Coffee Date, starring Wilson Cruz, Jonathan Silverman,  Sally Kirkland, Elaine Hendrix, Jason Stuart, and Debbie Gibson. The movie garnered numerous awards and received a limited theatrical release, ultimately playing in rotation for a year on MTV's LOGO channel. His next movie, Tru Loved, starred Najarra Townsend and Jake Abel, and featured Jasmine Guy, Alexandra Paul, Alec Mapa, Cynda Williams, Bruce Vilanch, Nichelle Nichols, Vernon Wells -- and Jane Lynch. It also won several awards before playing in rotation on Here!TV for many years.   Next up, Stewart directed and co-produced Such Good People, a screwball comedy written by David Michael Barrett and starring Michael Urie, Randy Harrison, and James Urbaniak, with supporting roles by Scott Wolf, Ana Ortiz, Lance Bass, Alec Mapa, Tom Lenk, Drew Droege, and Rick Overton.   At about this same time, Stewart created Coffee House Chronicles.  This web series is an ongoing passion, as each episode is self-contained and can be produced when time and money allow.Most recently, Stewart has written and directed his first drama, Say Yes, and now the sequel, Baby Steps. Both star Patrick Zeller and Matt Pascua, and are available on Amazon Prime.Contact: Stewartnla@aol.comWeb:  http://www.stewartwadefilms.wordpress.comPhoto: Copyright Wilkinson/2023Opening and closing music courtesy the very talented Zakhar Valaha via Pixabay.To contact Wilkinson- email him at BecomingWilkinson@gmail.com

It's Pride month and what better to kick it off than talking one of me and Mikey's favorite shows from our high school days, Queer as Folk! While this is the US version that premiered on Showtime, we had never seen anything like this and that's possibly why it has stayed with us over 20 years later. This is based on the UK series which was much shorter, however this version has some incredible characters that you just can't help but fall in love with. For a trip down memory lane we are discussing only the pilot episode and keep it spoiler free for those who haven't seen it before. We talk our introduction to the show, my stories of traveling to Best Buy to get the box set every season, the incredible soundtracks that are missing from the streaming versions, those steamy sex scenes, and get into what hasn't aged well over the years.--- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Mikey @agentmikey007 Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast Instagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod 

Hey kids, we had some technical difficulties so this episode is a bit delayed, but FEAR NOT! We have a Fantastic episode for our last podcast of 2021. The full Mister Sister crew is here to wrap-up QueerAnon's very first year! We're looking back at some of the major events that happened this year in a Queer For It wrap-up with our all-star panel. Then, we're discussing the Prom episode of Canada's Drag Race and using that as a deep dive into heteronormative rituals and whether or not we should keep em or toss em. Then, we're ending with our New Queer's Resolutions!! So long, 2021. You sucked!

Hey Queerios, we've got a special episode this week. Jordan and Randy discuss the life and times of the great Stephen Sondheim. No jokes. No puns. Just remembering a giant. (Plus, a stupid quiz). 

Hey kids,WE ARE BACK! And we've got a brand new episode!! This week we're starting off with a new segment, Queer For It! We'll be looking back at what's been going on and offer a queer or a jeer on the latest pop culture highlights. After that we jump into this week's Pop Culture Moment: Thanksgiving, the hypocrisy around it, and the holiday season in general. And we'll be using that as a Deep Dive on the nature of gratitude. How do we, as queer people, maintain gratitude in a world that's getting closer and closer to being a straight up post-apocalyptic hellscape? As always, we end with this week's ConsQUEERacies: Randy's got some thoughts on deals Adele has made and Jordan tries to uncover how anyone can think Black Privilege is a real thing. The truth is here. The truth is queer. And dude, she's getting Adele! 

On this episode of The Brad and Taylor Show, we have Randy & Harrison Bocook from eXp Realty! Here's what they had to say...

Another exciting episode with guest, Randy Harrison, who starred as Justin on one of my favorite series, QUEER AS FOLK! The actor and director joins us for a lookback on his years on the Showtime hit, becoming part of the zeitgeist, his career on stage and more! Was truly an honor to speak with Harrison, whose work on and off of the screen helped to shape my courage and pride as a young gay man.

Hey kids, time for a new Q(ueer)Anon with Mister Sister!! This week we slow things down for a bit and have a nice long check-in with Jordan and Randy. Randy shares the crazy joy of seeing live theater for the first time in ages, and Jordan goes deep on what's it like to live life on standby. Then it's time for a Stupid Quiz to prep for this week's Pop Culture Moment: the new Netflix animated series, Q-Force, by Gabe Liedman. We LOVED the series and it's crazy talented cast, which includes Wanda Sykes, Sean Hayes, Laurie Metcalf, and many more. That takes us into a deep dive on the nature of stereotypes. When are they useful? When are they hurtful? And who gets to use them? (Answer: it's complicated). As always, we end with our ConsQUEERacies. Randy's questioning what he's been doing for love his whole career, while Jordan has some theories about Broadway's surge of new Black plays. The truth is here. The truth is queer. And she likes it shaken, AND stirred. 

Hey kids, we're back with a new Q(ueer)Anon with Mister Sister!! This week, Jordan and Randy are joined by our sister from another mister, one Mikeah Ernest Jennings!!! We jump right into a new Bottom 5 where we talk about All Stars 6, Nicki Minaj's cousin's friend's balls, and we find out how RuPaul got her wings. After that, we're heading back to high school to discuss this week's Pop Culture Moment: the new Lil' Nas X song and video,  "That's What I Want," off his new album, Montero. That takes us into a deep dive on coming up queer in the minefield that is high school life. And specifically, what we all did to survive (and maybe even thrive) in the locker room gauntlet. As always, we end with this week's ConsQUEERacies: Randy's got some thoughts on America's resistance to bidets, and Jordan makes some guesses as to who will follow in Trump's awkwardly small footsteps. The truth is here. The truth is queer. And she learned the truth at seventeen. 

Hey Queerios, We're back with an all-new episode!! This week, I'm joined once again by the one and only Randy Harrison and we've got BIG NEWS: Randy's my new co-host!! We start off looking at the Bottom 5 news stories of the week. We've got Santino having a meltdown on twitter, Laura Osnes refusing the jab, and of course, some Lil' Nas X-stasy.  After that we play a new Stupid Quiz: Asana-nah-nah and we test how well Randy knows his own Downward Facing Dog (hint: disturbingly well). That leads us into this week's Pop Culture Moment where we discuss the new Mike White written and directed, HBO MAX  Limited Series, White Lotus. And we spill the tea on all the Namas-té!! That leads us into a Deep Dive on serenity, new age healing, and the inequities around wellness. I promise it might make sense.  And of course, we end with this week's ConsQUEERacies...which we both make up on the spot. The truth is here. The truth is queer. And she could really use a spa day. And don't forget to check out the songs 'Rabbit Hole' by Valerie Orth, and 'It's All Connected' by Andy Bull, which are both featured each week.

Hey kids, I know it seems like we've been gone for the Last Five Years, but we're back! And the hills are alive with the sound of a brand new QueerAnon.  We've got the Wicked talented Randy Harrison!! We kick things off with this week's Bottom Five. We're talking DaBaby, Matt Damon and all the other Guys and Dolls who are having a hard knock life this week cause they can't say no when it comes to being stupid Damn Yankees all the time. Then we drive down Avenue Q for another stupid quiz called SchmigaDO. This one's a doozy for Randy, but he had it coming. Then, for this week's Pop Culture Moment, we have a Wild Party and chat about the new AppleTV Plus series, Schmigadoon! That's right, we're easing on down the road to that titular Wonderful Town to dish on what it looks like when SNL folk take on old school musical theater. (Hint: S'Wonderful). And with that as our guide we Journey to the Past for our Deep Dive and look at the good-old fashioned classic American musical. What are its Follies? Is life a Cabaret? And how do we feel about straight forms of masculinity being reenforced in a stereotypically gay genre?  As always, we end with our ConsQUEERacies: Randy realizes a certain Actor's Union might be full of Nunsense, while Jordan has an epiphany about the Company of Netflix therapy while he's in Australia. The truth is here (pop), the truth is queer (six), and she wants to know how many bullets are left in this gun, Chino!!!! 

Hey Kids, WE ARE BACK! That's right. After two months away, we're here-r and we're queerer than ever. This week, we're joined by the inimitable Randolph Harrison to shoot the sh!t and talk about working our way up from the bottom. First,  we start off with our newest segment, the Bottom 5, where we take a look at 5 stories impacting the queer world. We're talking Pride, Pose, and Pennsylvania!  After that it's time for a new Stupid Quiz: 'Aussie or Naw, See!' Then, for our Pop Culture moment, we're slipping and sliding into a convo about some recent mishaps on a certain NBC game show and then Deep Diving into the Bottom of the barrel to find out who really is having the best sex. (Hint: Sorry, Straights.) Then, as always, we end with this week's ConsQUEERacies: We uncover the identities of the slithery trash-bags pushing Randy to the "Edge of Seventeen", and we finally find out what Jordan's really got going on Down Undah. The truth is here. The truth is queer. And she started from the bottom. (Now's she's queer!)

This week, we have a HUGE treat for our Queerios out there. Caitlin had to step away for the week, and we miss her terribly. But stepping in, we have the inimitable star of stage and screen, Randy Harrison!!! You might know him from his stint as the Emcee in the National Tour of Cabaret, his turn as Prior Walter in the Berkeley Rep production of Angels in America, and a little iconic show called Queer as Folk in which he played Justin Taylor. We start by discussing last week's Drag Race and check to see if Kandy Muse can play a villain in a challenge as well as she does on the show. (Verdict: She can't). After that we play a new Stupid Quiz called BEADS. And for our Pop Culture Moment we're discussing the new Lil' Nas X song and music video Montero (Call Me By Your Name). And we learn how Jordan would look pole dancing down to hell the way Lil' Was X does. (Answer: Awkward). Then for our Deep Dive we go down the rabbit hole to discuss shame and how we, as queer men, have had to deal with the shame so many of our detractors want us to have. Then, as always, we end with this week's ConsQUEERacies: Randy has some thoughts on what Dry Cleaning truly is, and Jordan tries to answer the question- Why the hell does Randy still look so young? The truth is here. The truth is queer. And she DON'T CARE MUCH. GO OR STAY!!And don't forget to check out our featured artist, Valerie Orth and her song/album Rabbit Hole, and Andy Bull, whose song, It's All Connected closes out our show. 

Dennis is joined via Zoom by actor Randy Harrison to discuss the play he's currently appearing in, Mike Bartlett's Cock, which is streaming through April 18th through the Studio Theatre in Washington DC. In the play, he plays John, a self-identified gay man who leaves a long-term relationship, begins seeing a woman soon after and ends up torn between the two lovers. Randy talks about the themes of identity, power and desire that drew him to the piece, his desire to someday do it before an audience and what it was like to rehearse and shoot the production during COVID-19. He also discusses his breakout turn as Justin in the American version of Queer as Folk, leaving a summer stock ensemble gig to go shoot it, and how the experience was all of the things; exciting, scary, insane and fun all at once. Other topics include: his decision to be out from the get-go, how the discussion around LGBT roles and actors has evolved recently, his dream gig, why he acts and his favorite memory of shooting Queer as Folk. https://www.studiotheatre.org/plays/play-detail/2020-2021-cock

Actor Michelle Clunie talks with Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™ about the “Queer As Folk” virtual 20th anniversary cast and crew reunion that takes place Friday May 1st at 11A PST/2P EST on YouTube. This must-attend livestream event is a fundraiser for CenterLink and its network of over 250 LGBTQ community centers. It’s hard to believe it was 20 years ago when we first entered the hallowed club Babylon and met Michael, Ben, Ted, Emmett, Melanie and the whole “Queer As Folk” gang. This Friday May 1st they’re back – better than ever - to celebrate the reunion of cast, crew, writers, directors and guest stars to raise awareness of the need to support LGBTQ centers all over the world. Scott Lowell (Ted) will host members of the “Queer As Folk” cast and crew including Clunie, Sharon Gless, Peter Paige, Hal Sparks, Randy Harrison and Robert Gant. Guest actors from your favorite episodes will also be joining as well as “Queer As Folk” creator executive producers Ron Cowen and Dan Lipman and more. During this pandemic LGBTQ community centers have continued to serve their communities providing vital often life-saving services such as medical care, mental health counseling, virtual support groups, filling prescriptions, providing hot meals and check-in phone calls for older adults. They are also serving as shelters for homeless youth, distributing nonperishable food items and hygiene products, case management, HIV testing and hosting virtual engagement activities to decrease social isolation. With cancelled galas, Pride events, fundraisers, etc. our LGBTQ community centers could be forced to shrink services, resulting in thousands of LGBTQ people going without care. We talked to Michelle about what she hopes to accomplish with this livestream fundraising event and her spin on our LGBTQ issues.  Actor Michelle Clunie is best known for her role as Melanie Marcus on the Showtime groundbreaking hit show “Queer As Folk”. She is a fierce LGBTQ activist and is currently raising her son Dashiell. The livestream “Queer As Folk” Virtual Reunion will give fans an opportunity to chat live with their favorite stars and bid on “Queer As Folk” memorabilia with all proceeds supporting CenterLink. Serving over 250 LGBTQ community centers across the country in 45 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia as well as centers in Canada, China and Australia, CenterLink assists newly forming community centers and helps strengthen existing LGBTQ centers through networking opportunities for center leaders, peer-based technical assistance and training and more. During this challenging time we hope you will tune in for this fabulous May Day Home Stay event Friday May 1st at 11A PST/2P EST on YouTube and please Stay Safe and Healthy.For More Info: CenterLink.org LISTEN: 500+ LGBTQ Chats @OUTTAKE VOICES

This interview contains spoilers for the play and film. Isaac Butler and Dan Kois, authors of “The World Only Spins Forward: The Ascent of Angels in America,” in conversation with Richard Wolinsky. The book is an oral history of the play by Tony Kushner, looking at not only its history, but how Angels in America fits into the fabric of the American saga and theatrical history. The play Angels in America has become a stage classic since it was first produced in the early 1990s. Dealing with the confluence of the AIDS epidemic, the Reagan era, the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and the rise of gay liberation, the seven-hour epic theater piece also became a 2003 film directed by Mike Nichols and starring Meryl Streep, Mary Louise Parker, Justin Kirk, Jeffrey Wright, Emma Thompson and Al Pacino as Roy Cohn, available now on CD and via HBO. At present, major productions of Angels in America are mounted in both New York and Berkeley. The New York production, which runs through June 15, 2018, stars Nathan Lane and Andrew Garfield, and is up for eleven Tony Awards. The Berkeley Rep production, starring Stephen Spinella and Randy Harrison, runs through July 22, 2018. The evening after this interview, Dan Kois and Isaac Butler were on stage at Berkeley Rep with Stephen Spinella, who plays Roy Cohn in that production. It turns out that it was Spinella himself who wanted to restore the scene, and Tony Kushner gave the go-ahead, saying that it was fine to stick it in during or after the bows at the end of the play, like the teasers at the end of superhero films. At some point, though, director Tony Taccone chose to move the scene before the epilogue because the stage would be too crazy at the bows to suddenly do another scene with effects. Thus it became part of the play. Two other changes new to this Berkeley Rep production, mentioned by direcctor Tony Taccone: a revelation is made by the character Harper to her husband Joe in their final scene together, and a speech by Prior Walter during the heaven sequence.   The post The Ascent of “Angels in America”: Isaac Butler & Dan Kois appeared first on KPFA.

Tony Kushner, playwright, “Angels in America” and other works, in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, recorded in San Francisco, March 17, 2006. “Angels in America” is currently running at Berkeley Rep through July 22, 2018. Tony Kushner's masterpiece, Angels in America, is currently running in New York, with a cast that includes Andrew Garfield and Nathan Lane, and at Berkeley Rep directed by Tony Taccone, with a cast that includes Randy Harrison and Stephen Spinella and runs through July 22nd. On March 17, 2006, Tony Kushner came to San Francisco to promote the Library of America Collected Plays of Arthur Miller, which he'd edited. The interview took place three months after the opening of Munich, the Steven Spielberg film for which he'd written the screenplay, and a few weeks after the controversial Oscar ceremony, where the favorite, Brokeback Mountain, lost best picture to the lightly regarded film Crash. The wide-ranging interview deals with Arthur Miller, Munich, Angels in America both on stage and film, Homebody/Kabul, Caroline or Change, and issues which remain contemporary, twelve years later. Since 2006, Tony Kushner wrote the screenplay for the film, “Lincoln,” worked on the screenplay for August Wilson's “Fences” and is currently working on an adaptation of West Side Story. His only completed play since 2006 has been  The Intelligent Homosexual's Guide to Capitalism and Socialism with a Key to the Scriptures . which was first produced in 2009. The post Tony Kushner, 2006 appeared first on KPFA.
