Both sides of Michael Gene Sullivan's family are from Detroit. In Part 2, we get to know Keiko's fellow SFMT collective member. Michael was born in Livonia, Michigan, a small town outside of Detroit. His parents met at a summer camp, but we need to rewind a bit before we get to that. When his dad was a boy, he was kidnapped. Yes, really. He and his brothers, all Black boys, were taken from Detroit to work on a plantation in Louisiana. One day, three years later, a car pulled up to the plantation. Some people got out of the car, grabbed Michael's dad and uncles, and threw them into the car (not minding the trauma these boys had already been through or might be experiencing in the moment). Much to the boys' relief, their mom was in that car. She'd been looking for her sons the entire time. They made it back to Michigan, but the effect of having been kidnapped and missing key years with his family stayed with Michael's dad. Michael characterizes his dad's side of the family as old-school gangsters. His mom's family were upper-working-class, many of them with jobs at Ford. The aforementioned camp was in Detroit and it was designed to bring kids from all different economic levels together. The camp held a dance, and his dad found himself with all the boys on one side of the room—on the other side, the girls, of course. No one had started dancing when one of the girls suddenly got up (on a dare from a friend), walked over to the boys, and sat in Michael's dad's lap. That girl was his mom, of course. They danced, talked a little, then had to separate. The next summer, at the next camp, the two met again. Then it happened again the following year. Eventually, they started dating and fell in love. Michael's mom's family wasn't too pleased, given the criminal aspect of his dad's family. But his mom was a bit of a rebel and went with love. The new couple settled in Detroit. They had three children—two girls and a boy, Michael, their youngest. His dad did radio work in the Army and his mom studied art. When dad got out of the service, he parlayed the tech work he'd learned into the infant industry. He got a job with National Cash Register, who relocated the family to Los Angeles. Michael was three when his family moved to California, so he doesn't have distinct memories of that. With the move to LA, his mom started doing more and more art, sculpting and painting. His dad worked a lot, but the couple also started getting involved in politics. They went to protests, rallies, Black Panther meetings. Michael shares his family's story of being at a protest against LBJ's visit to Los Angeles. It involves a family of five plus their pet rabbit climbing a tree. The next year, 1968, was a presidential election year, and Michael's mom worked for the Bobby Kennedy campaign. She was there on primary night, June 5, when RFK was assassinated. She was in the same room, even. Soon after that, the FBI showed up at their house looking for witnesses. To make up for known failings around the JFK assassination, the agency moved to protect witnesses around this tragedy. They sent his mom back to Detroit. The rest of Michael's family stayed behind. The FBI gave Michael rides to school in that time period. Two weeks later, when his mom returned, his parents decided to move the family to San Francisco. It was originally planned as a temporary visit, but they never left. The first place his family landed was The Sunset District. He was seven, and started school in San Francisco. From there, the family moved to Bayview, Western Addition, back to The Sunset, over to The Richmond District, and back to Western Addition. I ask Michael to list his SF schools, and he obliges. Now settling into the Bay Area, Michael's family kept their political interests. He recalls his parents taking him with them to a Black Panthers meeting. His dad was now working in Silicon Valley as a diagnostic engineer. Michael's mom had given up creating her own art and shifted to film publicity work. Michael has always been a passionate person. When he was a kid, he and his sister got into film. He was also deeply interested in history. He wanted to be a history teacher when he grew up. They planned to make movies together. They wanted to remake Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but recast as two Black kids. At school, the kids considered Michael shy. When he got to Marina Junior High, he decided on the first day of school that it wasn't for him. And it wasn't difficult for him to transfer, because his family had that habit of moving around The City. Michael asked his mom to drive him around town, and when he saw Roosevelt Middle School, he loved the building's architecture. So, he transferred there. He shares the story of another transfer student, who arrived in his last year at Roosevelt, a girl so pretty he developed a crippling crush on her right away. We'll get back to that. He and his crush ended up going to Washington High the next year. He still wouldn't/couldn't talk to her, but they were both in band. She ended up in a theater group called Street of Dreams Theater Company. Michael's best friend was also in the group, so he was around them a lot. Michael still had his sights set on being a history professor. That, or he would write horror short stories. One day, a teacher more or less forced him to sing in choir. His crush was also in choir. And he ended up joining Street of Dreams in order to be closer to her. They graduated, and within the following year, Michael was artistic director of the company. He started doing more and more with Street of Dreams, eventually directing shows. Both Michael and his crush, whom he could at least talk with now, if not look in the eyes, were at City College and also joined a group of friends singing at the Renaissance Faire. By then, she'd had a couple boyfriends and he a couple girlfriends. Then the two decided to go on a "test date." They even shared a "test kiss" that night. A year later, they were dating. And today, they're married and have three children. Around this time, Michael's dad took him to see a show by the San Francisco Mime Troupe. Theater was still fairly new to both of them, and Michael was blown away. He even saw Keiko performing in a show back in the day. Because he'd had some acting experience, once there was an opening, he auditioned. But they told him he was too young. Eventually, they had an actor call in sick and asked Michael to sub. And so he stepped in. It was 1988, and Michael toured with SF Mime Troupe. And he and his wife have been with them ever since. Check tomorrow for Part 3, when Keiko and Michael will share the history and legacy of the San Francisco Mime Troupe.

From dragons and basilisks to other legendary beasts, we discuss the real-life reptiles that may have inspired these stories and why reptiles continue to capture our imagination centuries later.Whether you're a reptile enthusiast, a fantasy fan, or both, join us for a fun conversation about history, mythology, and the amazing animals that make legends feel a little more real.Get early access to episodes: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-wild-type-podcast/subscribeFollow the podcast: - https://www.instagram.com/thewildtypepodcast/- https://www.tiktok.com/@thewildtypepodcast- Merch: https://the-wild-type-podcast-llc-shop.fourthwall.com/Follow Neptune the Chameleon:- https://www.youtube.com/c/NeptunetheChameleon/- http://instagram.com/neptunethechameleon- https://tiktok.com/@neptunethechameleon- http://facebook.com/neptunethechameleon- https://www.neptunethechameleon.comFollow Lyssa's Lizards:- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmZaN6Q4yOt1j36J0-Ml6LQ- https://www.instagram.com/lyssaslizards- https://www.tiktok.com/@lyssaslizards- https://m.facebook.com/p/Lyssas-Lizards-100064470381677/- https://www.lyssaslizards.comSponsors:- https://www.pangeareptile.com/wildtype- https://coldbloodedcaffeine.com/- https://symtonbsf.com/- https://reptilekages.com/- https://thebiodude.com/- https://reptilinks.com/- https://frostbitefeeders.com/- https://arcadiareptile.com/?utm_source=the_wild_type&utm_medium=podcast

This week on The Floor Recap, Angie, Brad, and Nicki dive headfirst into one of the weirdest episodes of the season — complete with bad strategy, bathroom trauma, awkward alliances, and Lance Armstrong apparently becoming the first man on the moon. The crew breaks down Morgan's Renaissance Faire disaster, Beans surviving despite looking like he wandered out of a Disney Channel reboot, and Anthony somehow winning while still making Brad question the entire education system.The gang also debates whether Eric is secretly Darth Vader running a mind-control alliance, why nobody seems willing to challenge him, and whether contestants are literally panicking themselves into bad gameplay. Meanwhile, Ren casually wins $20,000 for doing almost nothing, Nicki reveals her deep fear of airplane bathrooms, and Brad launches into another legendary rant about contestants going back to the floor after only two wins.Add in soap operas, nuts, porta-potties, celebrity siblings, Sunday Toppings, and way too much discussion about bodily functions, and you've got one chaotic recap episode that somehow spirals further off the rails every five minutes.

Actually, we get Renaissance Faire on this podcast. Ariel talks about her amazing experience performing at the Georgia Renaissance Festival last weekend, while Jonathan wonders if he'll be haunting the lanes on Memorial Day (spoiler, after we recorded this episode he learned he definitely WILL be performing on Memorial Day). We also talk about some odd trailers, a couple of Broadway show news items and why Jonathan decided to hang with The Boys one last time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hold onto your elf ears! This week, Sarah welcomes the hilarious Maddie Maze to the studio. Things get "steamy" early as they discuss the questionable benefits of DIY Yoni steams and the mystery of "vagina bleaching" black underwear. Sarah recounts a dark 39th birthday spent bombing for a sleepy audience, while Maddie takes us back to the "musty" halls of 2010s anime conventions and the legendary Homestuck fandom. The duo then predicts the future of combat: 1 million Mike Tysons vs. 10,000 Gorillas and the inevitable "Kill-More War" (Kill Tony fans vs. Gilmore Girls moms). Plus, Sarah explores a potential copper-haired midlife crisis and unearths an incredibly awkward throwback video of Matt Rife trying to flirt with Zendaya.

On Summer House, Jesse tells West that kissing Ciara would basically be a joke, and when Ciara finds out she gives him the iciest cold shoulder and makes it clear she's not here to be treated like an object. Meanwhile, Dana and KJ go on a very cute date where KJ ends up wearing Dana's earrings like a supportive king.

(Host: Lucy) Giant turkey legs, fried food, implausible costumes… and counterculture? This episode explores the roots of Renaissance Faires in the US, and how this originally hippie-centric phenomenon was linked to other forms of medievalism in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Communes, folk music, particolored tights, and a reimagined past turn out to be more closely linked than you might imagine. This episode also examines how Ren Faires have evolved and continued to thrive, and why you still — if you're lucky — might hear Steeleye Span covers at your nearest one.   For further reading suggestions and more, please visit: https://www.footnotinghistory.com

There were some last-minute scheduling issues this week, so we had to forgo recording and search the TSHE vault to find an appropriate substitute episode. Please enjoy, and we promise we'll be back next week!It's no secret that here at TSHE we looooove to talk about food, and this episode is no different. Accordingly, we're riding a river of oil to the Webster Firemen's Carnival to check in on the good, the bad, and the ugly of fair food (Renaissance “Faires” may or may not be included).

Renaissance fairs have long been a place for workers and visitors alike to find community amid the trappings of a fictional medieval town. “Merchants” bring their wares to hawk, while various “guilds” provide the entertainment, from jousting to smithing to demonstrating medieval textile arts.   But some longtime guild workers at the Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire have pulled out of the festival due to what they describe as bad management and poor working conditions. They say the organization that puts on the fair – which also operates the Oregon Renaissance Faire and Oregon Celtic Festival – has prioritized profits over maintaining the sense of community that workers and volunteers value. Nathalie Graham is a former freelance reporter who now writes for The Seattle Stranger. She looked into these complaints in a recent article for InvestigateWest and joins us with more details.
