Roman Rimer is an actor, improv performer, radio host and activist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. In this episode, Roman and I discuss activism and allyship in various communities. We discuss the gentrification of San Francisco and how he tries to stay true to the city's original spirit of being a place for those who often exist on the margins of society. Roman also charts his course as a transmasculine person, from coming to terms with this knowledge to handling the reactions of friends and family. I hope you enjoy this conversation!

On this Episode...I have a one-on-one interview with Roman Rimer, who called in to the "Hate Project" a few times during its 2012-2013 run (you can hear him on POC episodes 5,9,14,20). Roman is a trans, queer community activist and performer based in the Bay Area, and he hosts a weekly radio show as well. Roman and I reflect on how our views have changed in the last few years in regards to having peaceful dialogues with hate mongers, be they nazis or TERFS. Roman also discusses the worsening homelessness and wealth disparity problems in the Bay Area, and how they're connected to the presence of big tech companies but are also part of a long colonialist tradition. We also discuss how every major American "liberal" city is essentially a police state designed to protect the wealth of the wealthiest. Other topics include how mainstream liberals often blockade true progress, sex workers and the marginalization of communities as a way of keeping everyone in line, the power of people in affecting societal change, and the value of creating communities and networks as a way of sustaining each other when the government fails us.

Where does comedy and activism converge? The cuties are joined by Roman Rimer (comedian and host of Weekly Review on Mutiny Radio) to jump head-first into the mess that is standup comedy, which isn't always kind to marginalized people. Everyone shares their standup horror stories and digs into the concept of "punching up" when it comes to comedy. Oh, and Joshua talks about pooping in public restrooms. Things don't go well.
Comedian and activist, ROMAN RIMER, visits us from San Francisco to talk about using comedy to punch up, learning from personal confrontation, and the development of our cities. This is an episode unlike any we’ve had thus far, dealing with matters of social tolerance, capitalism, and human nature. It’s a thought-provoking episode and we’re thrilled […] The post #63: Roman Rimer appeared first on Magnet Theater.
The sophomore episode of Off White welcomes the fancy female stylings of southern-born Greek/Lebanese/Cajun/Jewish radio personality Dayna Keyes, the fine wisdom of trans activist and storyteller Roman Rimer, and token hetero white man improvisor and stand-up comedian Brandon Garner. In this episode we discuss the new diverse landscape of the Star Wars movies, Elle Fanning's upcoming role as a trans boy in the movie About Ray, and a controversial joke about Blue Ivy that was made on Julie Klausner and Billy Eichner's new show, Difficult People. We also do a round of the "Recast" game with The Hangover and give all the roles to females. But before all that, we have some serious conversation about Dayna's connection to the Doobie Brothers, Uncle Michael McDonald, and Liza Minelli.
