We've all heard that perpetual motion machines are impossible (at least as far as our understanding of the universe goes) but why? We look at how our understanding of thermodynamics forbids perpetual motion machines to be a thing. And I bungle the lyrics to a Faith Hill song. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Beth Nielsen Chapman is a songwriter's songwriter. She began writing before she had any idea that it could be a career; it was just something that came naturally to her. When she first started out, there was no way to possibly imagine just how important songs would become in her journey - both professionally and personally. Here she talks about that journey, which includes writing songs for Martina McBride, Willie Nelson, Tanya Tucker, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Crystal Gayle, Juice Newton, Bette Midler, and most famously co-writing Faith Hill's hit song “This Kiss”. She has released sixteen albums as a solo artist as well. Along the way, she also talks about processing grief and loss through music (and making music through grief). We spoke only weeks after her second husband, Bob passed away. Her first husband, Ernest, died in 1994. She also tells the stories behind many of her hit songs, and lays out her philosophy of creativity and craft, including what it means to “write from the center of your truth,” channeling humanity's “collective wisdom” and what it means to have “investment without attachment” in songwriting. Beth's most recent album, Crazy Town came out in 2022. www.third-story.com www.wbgo.org/podcast/the-third-story www.patreon-com/thirdstorypodcast

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Oy with the poodles already! It's the season finale! It is time for Sookie's wedding, and she is choosing possibly the most depressing song to walk down the aisle to. We get the famous (or infamous?) quote that we have a hot take on, agree or disagree? Dean shows up and ends up being a pretty good boyfriend this episode. I guess it's true, now that Jess is gone they are even better than before. Sookie is the chillest bride ever, and Lorelai thinks she's found her happily ever after. Don't worry, we did research the fabric of the bridesmaids dresses, definitely not the same as Rory's dance dress! And PSA, "This Kiss" was written by Faith Hill, not Shania Twain. Also, we finally drop a well deserved F bomb. Join us this week for the season 2 finale! Email us at TownMeetingPod@gmail.com to be featured in future episodes!

In collaboration with LGBTQ+ Programs and Womxn's History Month, this special episode features guest host Gray Strain, Assistant Director for Diversity and Belonging at BGSU, and Dr. Lady J, who was keynote speaker of the 2021 Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Research Symposium at BGSU. The pair discuss drag scholarship, community activism, the untold history of the artform, and the integral role transgender and cisgender women have played as performers since drag's inception.  Announcer :From Bowling Green State University and the Institute for the Study of Culture and Society, this is BG ideas.Musical Intro:I'm going to show you this with a wonderful experiment. Gray:Welcome to the BG Ideas podcast, a collaboration between the Institute for the Study of Culture and Society and the School of Media and Communication at Bowling Green State University. My name is Gray Strain, Assistant Director for Diversity and Belonging at BGSU. And I'm happy to be guest hosting a special episode today in collaboration with LGBTQ+ programs and Women's History Month. Thank you to Dr. Jolie Sheffer of ICS for allowing us to guest host this episode. We appreciate the opportunity for collaboration. This special episode of the BG Ideas podcast is being recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic. That means we're not in studio, but instead are talking via Zoom and phone. Our sound quality will be different as a result, but we want to continue to share with our listeners some of the amazing work being done on and around our campus. We at ICS and LGBTQ+ programs think it's important to celebrate great ideas. As always the opinions expressed on this podcast are those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of BGSU or its employees.Gray :Today, I am thrilled to be speaking with Dr. Lady J the Director of Programming, Education and Outreach for Studio West 117 in Cleveland, Ohio. The official drag historian for the Austin International Drag Festival, the creator and host of the podcast Untucking the Past and the keynote speaker for the 2021 Women's Gender and Sexuality Studies Research Symposium here at BGSU. A pillar of the Cleveland LGBTQIA+ community, she represents the city on the national drag scene and leads locally through activism, entertainment, and education. Her dissertation from RuPaul to the Love Ball: The Mainstreaming of Drag in the 1990s, has been downloaded over 3,800 times. And her work as a historian has been featured everywhere from vice.com to the journal of the American Musicological Society.Gray: Dr. Lady J joins me today to discuss their work in the field of drag history, the politics and inclusion of women, both transgender and cisgender in drag communities and how she serves diverse LGBTQ+ populations today in the Cleveland area. So thank you so much for joining me, Lady J. Before we dive into the fascinating topic of drag history, I do want to touch on the work that you're doing with Studio West 117. Could you tell me a little bit about your role and the vision for Studio West?Dr. Lady J:So thank you first of all, so much for having me, Gray. I'm really excited to be here, and I'm really excited about the upcoming events that we're going to be doing together for Bowling Green. So Studio West 117 is an LGBTQ hub for the Northeast Ohio area and specifically Cleveland and Lakewood, especially. We're going to be doing everything from supporting LGBTQ+ local businesses, especially starting with BIPOC businesses first. We're working with our business tenants to provide ways of entry that are low barrier of entry. Everything from working on subsidies for businesses to working on a podcast and broadcast studio. We're going to have a makers space, an artist's co-op, a coffee co-op. So there'll be a lot of different opportunities for people to break into kind of gig based jobs that may require a lot of equipment on the front end and to use high end equipment for a really reasonable price that is affordable to the average trans person.Dr. Lady J:And that's really important to me because one of the ways that I was able to survive for a while after grad school was doing landscaping and handyman work for people that would lend me their tools. I knew these trades, but I didn't really know any way that I could afford a chainsaw and like 20 different pieces of equipment for landscaping. And a thousand different things for sanding stairs and painting and dah, dah, dah, dah. So this is a way we can start with that. On top of that, we're going to have five different venues, everything from the chamber and the symposium, which are smaller kind of bar sized venues up through the 1200 seat theater, somewhere between 800 and 1200 seat theater in the fantasy theater.Dr. Lady J:We're going to have the field house, which is going to have a gymnasium. It's going to have an LGBTQ youth sports league. We're going to have a restaurant run by Juan Vergara. That is a Colombian restaurant. That's going to be managed by two different LGBTQ folks. We're going to have the first rooftop patio in Lakewood. It's going to be 2,500 square feet. We're going to have an outdoor area between the two buildings so we can do... You could start with a brunch in the field house, go through a queer flea market in the alley into a children's theater show on Sunday afternoon, into a drag show that evening or a burlesque show that night. Really a place where you can spend all day and a place for everybody to feel safe and welcome. And it's primarily a place that is first and foremost for the LGBTQ+ community, and also very welcoming to allies. But this is really the queer's community's space first.Dr. Lady J:And I really love that we're working to really make sure that Cleveland is a majority black city, and in most of the businesses and organizations I've been a part of in my time here, whether it's been activism or education, or just working like an hourly job you don't often see Black management, you don't often see Black leadership. And it's because those opportunities have been denied. This is one of the most red lined cities in the country, racism is tremendous here. And I grew up going to Atlanta, going to a place where you saw Black artists, you saw lack managers, you saw Black leadership. And I'm really excited that like with this job, I've been able to form a 5% hiring committee that is 60% trans and non-binary, I think it's 80% people of color, especially heavy right now, it's 80% Black.Dr. Lady J:And I think that's really important because most young Black folks who are a huge portion of the population here are interviewing with people who do not look like them, who do not understand what they're going through. And we're thinking really about the multi-layered issues that affect people to make sure that the hiring doesn't look inclusive just at the level of baristas and bartenders, but at the level of management, leadership, all of those things. And that's one of the things that honestly is the reason I signed on with this project. Because my first questions were things like this that are huge often tend to just go with the easiest thing, which is to pick the oldest, whitest, people who have the most typical resume to create a very standard thing. And that's what I love about every time we bring in more people is for once I'm able to say, "Let's take this perspective or this problem that you are having as community member. And let's fold this into the structure. Let's think about this on the front end." Dr. Lady J:And during COVID, we've had a lot of extra time to really think about those things, to really make sure that everyone feels like they are included. And that also comes down to people with disabilities. We're going to be one of the only places around, if not the only place in this area that has a fully accessible stages, fully accessible dressing rooms. And this was something that when I started to book one of my drag kids, who's a queer puppeteer, a young guy who uses a wheelchair it was impossible just getting him in a ground floor bar, because a lot of them have a lip that goes up or a step that goes down. We tried getting in the back door of this one place. We realized the backdoor has a step down.Dr. Lady J:And even if he came into the kitchen, which we were going to try, the galley entry from behind the bar is not big enough for a wide chair like his. So luckily Nate is able to walk some. So we were able to get him into the bar, but once I started booking him, it was a real eye-opener as far as like, we need to make sure that these things are taken care of in this venue. And the exciting thing is we've been in contact with a festival that's specifically for performers with disabilities. And we are one of the first places or the first place that they've been able to bring this to Cleveland, which they wanted to do for a long time, that we'll be able to actually accommodate not just on the audience level, but on the stage level. And that'll be everywhere from the chamber and the symposium and the fantasy dance club up through the fantasy theater, the field house, all of it.Dr. Lady J:So like that's a big part of what I think is really important. And there's about nine million other things I could talk about, but what we really want when you look at the programming for this whole place is I want it to look like it's a nightly takeover of space by different queer folks. So when you look at the schedule, it looks like nobody owns the club. That's one of my most important things is trying to make it feel like there's not a centralized thing there. So yeah, I think that's a pretty good, short, brief overview of Studio West.Gray :I mean, that's fantastic. It's this way that you're creating this LGBTQ+ hub. It's so much more than just the hub itself, right? It's all of the people behind it. And I really appreciate the way that you talked about centering BIPOC communities, so Black, Indigenous and people of color in the process. So you've talked a little bit about this, but we of course know that due to COVID, face to face interaction and truly all interaction has been limited the majority of last year into this year. And of course, a lot of drag and LGBTQ+ community building is about having those physical spaces that you've talked about. So how has this shifted the way that Studio West does their work and how you build and maintain community?Dr. Lady J:Yeah, I think that's a great question. It was really interesting because when I came onto the project, initially just as a temporary thing to see like how is this going to work and all that, we were totally thinking about like doing big events in June. We were starting to plan out our Pride events and book that out. And I'd already started booking people. And then all of a sudden everything gets locked down, COVID comes along. And the plus side of it is, it's given us a lot of time to really do those inclusivity elements, to really have those conversations. To have a five-hour long conversation between me and community members. And the other thing that's really interesting is because we have this space we're able to do like virtual events. So we just did our very first virtual event in December. It was called Aqueerium. Dr. Lady J:And so we wanted to account for COVID. So what we were originally going to do was we were going to have some in-person, about four tables, maybe 16 people of four each with dividers. And we built the stage so the whole entire front of the stage is covered by plexiglass now. So I wanted to basically create an aquarium that we could perform in kind of bringing in the idea of like, how do we incorporate what's happening in a fun way? And so our whole first show was all underwater theme, sea themed. We had a giant clamshell that our creative and technical director, Dan Housman built along with all of these kinds of set props. We had stalactites that looked like coral that he had made out of insulation foam. We really had an amazing cast. And that's what we're going to be planning to do for the rest of this year right now. We may have some in-person events that don't look like a show that involve a lot of distance, and that are actually to-go events that we'll be releasing maybe later in the year.Dr. Lady J:What we're planning on right now, basically every show we do for the rest of this year right now is planning to be all digital. So we're going to be prerecording the performers one by one so we can edit. And like, that's the great thing is it also allows us that yes, performers can come in and just use the space to record that. But also if people want to, we can do things where we edit more stuff, we can make things more like a music video. And that's kind of what we're working towards in the second show that we're going to be announcing that I'm calling Icebox. So this time we're using the front of the plexiglass again as an ice theme. And that's kind of what we're going to be doing as we go forward, is kind of keep trying to reinvent this until we find a way towards live stuff. And we're hoping that we might be able to do live socially distance stuff maybe in January of next year and maybe some this year. But, it's really going to vary on what we find out in the next few months.Gray: Yeah. I think one thing that's really great about our community, especially as I think there's an instinct to pivot. So really to just adapt. And not to quote Tim Gunn, but, "To make it work," right in the moment and do what needs to be done. So I'm going to take a quick break right now, and then we'll come back and chat a little bit more about your research and the work you do with drag history. Thanks so much for listening to BG Ideas podcast. We'll be right back.Announcer :If you are passionate about BiG Ideas consider sponsoring this program. To have your name or organization mentioned here, please contact us at ics@bgsu.edu.Gray :Hello and welcome back to the BG ideas podcast. Today we're talking to Dr. Lady J about her work as a drag historian and educator. So Lady J, as a scholar of drag and gender myself, I honestly can't hold us back any longer. Let's jump into some drag. So first could you provide, and I appreciate this is a difficult question, a working definition of drag, as you understand it for our listeners?Dr. Lady J: Okay. So yeah, this is a question that I get a lot and it is one that I find really difficult. It's one that I was asked a lot by my advisor and my whole team on my dissertation to really try to define more. Really what I think drag boils down to is its historical narrative, because there's a lot of cross dressing and crossing the gender binary that doesn't really fit in with the timeline of drag, that stands on its own as another part of another tradition. And I think that's one of the things that gets collapsed a lot in the histories is things that are theatrical cross dressing that aren't actually like drag. They're not informed by queerness. Like movies like Some Like It Hot where people have to get into drag for a reason that is motivated by the plot of the story, rather than, "I like drag. This is part of my personhood and my artistry."Dr. Lady J:But really, I would say drag is number one, an art form in the same way that sculpting or painting or any of those things are, or theater or music. It is its own artistic discipline that deserves its own space in that way. But it has to do with playing with gender and characters more importantly. But I think for me, straight people can do drag and that can be part of the tradition. But straight people, cross dressing in movies and things like that often comes from a really different place. And I think that drag at its core is inherently queer. I think that it really comes from a place of transness before there was a word for transness. The history reflects that. With cases like Boulton and Park which you can Google very easily.Dr. Lady J:That's a case of two people that both lived as women on the stage and off the stage who were assigned male at birth. They were carted in front of a judge. They were stripped nude as part of this. And one of them actually ended up performing later on with another person who lived their life as a man who was assigned female at birth, who had also had a career on the stage as a man. And who was married to a woman. And for me, that looks, even though we can't use the word trans because that wasn't indicative of the times. But what I see in that moment is two trans people, seeing themselves in each other and seeing a way to work together. And most of the people that you see in early drag are people who are gender non-conforming on and off the stage. And I think that there is also a lot of room for discussion about the wibbly wobbly-ness of the term drag and like female impersonation.Dr. Lady J:And there's so much respectability politics that goes into those things. There are many people, if you look at the 90s, especially who would say, especially trans women who would say, "I am not a drag queen, I'm a female impersonator." Because drag queen in their head was a man in a dress. But again, that's because men in dresses were the ones who were controlling that conversation. But yeah, I would say drag is really about queer people creating character personas on stage. And playing with gender is part of that. But the one thing I do want to say that I always think is really important is saying that drag is about crossing the gender binary is like saying that architecture is about making a brick. It's absolutely part of what is necessary to do the other thing. But most of the people I know who are performing drag are not thinking about the gender element the most. They're thinking about character creation. They're thinking about storytelling. They're thinking about a song that they're doing, the narrative dance styles. That's really what drag is, it's a queer performance genre.Gray :Well I really hope that we have some architecture majors tuning in to appreciate that metaphor. So, you talked already a little bit about this, but thinking of drag as a performance of gender, but also character. So what does drag have to say about identity as a whole or thinking about gender in relationship to other categories of identity?Dr. Lady J:Oh, that's a really, really tough one. What does drag have to say about identity as a whole? For me, I think it's about how different people experience it. Like I have a very hard time saying drag does things or drag is things because drag is so individual and it changes a lot.Like even when we think about female impersonation is what most people think of when they think of drag. And we think of like alternative drag that's bearded drag, or cis women doing drag as something that's brand new. All those things have been present at a minimum. And I guarantee you they're there before. I just haven't or can't think of them off the top of my head, but at a minimum, like cis women been doing drag since the 60s, bearded queens have existed since the 60s, like all of those things have existed since the 1960s, we had a counter-cultural movement that happened in drag in the same way that it happened in the rest of the world, in every other art form.Dr. Lady J:And it fully changed our art form. And so I think what drag has to say about identity very much has to do with the individual. So like for some trans women, for instance, some trans women get in drag and they feel more fully themselves. They feel confirmed by the drag and they want to be a heightened version of themselves on stage. For me as a non-binary trans woman, I did like pretty girl drag for like the first five years. I think a lot of people might question the first two or three years. Not what I'd call pretty. But like I was doing a femme face. And what I found was that once I saw myself as a trans woman in that face, I was like, "Well, this isn't what I wanted. I came here to do something that was about building a creation. That's an insane over the top heroic version of myself." Dr. Lady J:And so, that's why like Lady J the character my eyes are as big as my forehead. My mouth is huge because it's about... My character for me, drag is about becoming intimidating or becoming a big, giant ball of light that people can see themselves in. So I think it just really varies based on person to person and what you're trying to... It's the same thing as art it's like saying, what does art have to do with identity? Well, it's going to have a lot to do with the genre and the person and the aesthetic that they're going for and what their goals are.Gray :Absolutely. And I really encourage folks if they haven't already seen Lady J's character to look you up on Instagram. It's the only Lady J, correct?Dr. Lady J:Yeah.Gray :Yes. Because your makeup, your persona is absolutely fantastic. So when folks hear drag, and you've already started to break this down, many people might only make the connection to RuPaul or RuPaul's drag race or other dominant representations of "drag." so as a drag historian, what do you think gets missed in our popular understanding of the timeline of drag we have in the US? Dr. Lady J:The timeline is, I think number one, the first thing would be that the timeline generally says, "The history is about people who crossed from male to female, female to male." And that's not really been the case for a lot of history. And I think the timeline also makes it seem like trans women are something new to drag when that's not been the case. A lot of drag history's timeline has unfortunately been about respectability politics. And it's been about cis men's perspectives. Even the book that I cite in my dissertation as being foundational to my understanding of drag history, which was Laurence Senelick's The Changing Room, is virulently transphobic. It was really hard reading where alot of people would say, when they talk about the metaphorical magic of drag, many people try to say that being a trans woman and having any kind of hormonal adjustment or any kind of surgery, somehow alters what you're doing.Dr. Lady J:And I just don't really ever understand how that makes any sense. Also, because as long as there've been trans women getting pump in their face, there've been cis men in the same industry getting pump in their face. And frankly, I've had some very intense toe-to-toe screaming matches with some of my very closest friends who have had this fight with me about the place of trans women in drag. Where I had to say to this person, and it was really a hateful moment on my part, but it came out of this whole discussion about trans women's place in drag, and this person saying that trans women deserve have a different place. They're a totally separate thing. And I was like, "You can't sit here and tell me that you think that trans women and drag is somehow juicing." And I poked this person's face. And I said, "When are your lip looks like that, don't sit here and act like it's not acceptable for us to get work done when you get work done. When the same pageants who disallow trans women allow silicone injections above the neck line." Dr. Lady J:So there's a lot of these weird things that have come up. And the other thing I would say is people talk about drag as if it's always transgressive. I think that's one of the biggest, biggest lies out there. Drag absolutely often, often, often reifies and stands up the gender binary. It says it is about, "I'm a man who can also be a woman." And then the version of womanhood that's presented is absolutely like a stereotype. Now that doesn't mean that I think that high glamour drag is inherently misogynist. I don't, but I do think... And I don't think men doing drag is inherently misogynist but I do think that many people think "I am portraying a woman, so I'm paying homage."Dr. Lady J:When in fact, if you're creating a sarcastic kind of hateful version of this person, are you paying homage or are you actually just creating a misogynist tirade against what you think women are? I think there is much space for all of that. And that's kind of the thing that I want people to understand about drag is that our discussion should be the same as art. We don't call art misogynist because there's misogynist art. We don't say that all art is not misogynist because there's non-misogynist art. We take it on a case by case aesthetic by aesthetic, genre by genre basis. And that's what drag deserves.Gray :Thank you. So thinking about the role of women in drag that you touched on a bit going back to the 60s, what does it mean for you to be a woman and taking that category broadly to include transgender and cisgender women who performs in drag? Dr. Lady J:For me, it's what has helped me find my community. It's what helped me find my sisters, my partner, my best friends, the people who understand me most understand that I am most me not now, but when I'm fully Lady J.Like it was astonishing to me how different it was for the developers and the other people I work with at Studio West, who had met me in drag once when we went to New York. But it was 5:00 AM when I was getting ready that day, I was super nervous. I didn't know them very well. When we did our first show, they were like, "Oh my God, you're a totally different person." And I was like, "Yeah, because you know what happens when I get in drag? Even with all this crazy look on my dysphoria goes away. I'm not looking at a 35 year old person who has not gone on a hormone therapy yet, and who wishes they'd done it a lot sooner."Dr. Lady J:I see what I want to be. I see this heroic trans goddess of rock and roll. This KISS-like Wendy O Williams, not to be confused with Wendy Williams, like character. I always wanted to be covered in armor with a sword or something. I want to see myself as a protector because I grew up in a house where my mother was abused violently by my father. And I'm positive that's why Lady J exists. That's why I do what I do is because most of my career has been about creating someone that someone like that could never touch. And creating someone that could have saved my mom in that situation. That could have saved all of us little kids from having to deal with all of that.Dr. Lady J:That's a lot of what Lady J is, is me trying to provide people with some semblance of, "There's a future, there's hope there's promise." And also if you feel angry, like I'm going to get angry for you here on stage. I'm going to smash things. I did a number of last year where I was Lorena Bobbitt, and I was chopping an eggplant with a freshly purchased sharp butcher knife into the audience. If you want to see some stuff that is anti-misogynist, I'll give it to you because a lot of my drag is about my anger about those things. It's about processing out the pain and nonsense that I have seen and had inflicted upon me. I'm a three time sexual assault survivor. A lot of that anger goes into Lady J and that's how I get it out. And that's what's fun. And that's the hard part about COVID is like, I'm not on a stage in front of an audience, like doing all of that all the time. And maintaining sanity is harder without that.Gray :I really appreciate that. I think when we have that conversation about what drag is, we started initially in thinking that some people believe only cis men doing this kind of across gender performance, I think we miss out on all the, all the personality, all of our experiences that get put into our art form. So I really appreciate you being open about that. So I'm going to end with what I know is another difficult question. I know I've been full of them today, but who is, if you could just pick out one woman in drag's history that you think everybody should know about should go learn about right now?Dr. Lady J:That's really tough. I would say there's like maybe three that I think of a lot. One of them I would say is the person that like, if you don't know a lot about drag history, go look up Crystal LaBeija. Crystal LaBeija is the person who... Look up the movie, The Queen, and look at the argument that she has with Mother Flawless Sabrina. What you will see there is a world in which Black queens had been denied real advancement, had been denied bigger money, had been denied bigger opportunities. And this queen took this moment on film and took an enormous risk that could have made her look terrible. That could have ruined everything for her by saying, "You know what? I don't care that this documentary is here. And in fact, I think it's probably good that this documentary is here and I'm going to confront this pageant system about its racist practices and about the fact that I should have been the winner. And I was the rightful winner."Dr. Lady J:And sadly what a lot of people will see in that is just an angry Black woman. All they'll see is that. And they'll just be like, "Well, I don't understand why she's like that. What is she so mad about? Why does she think she deserved to win?" The reality is this was the only Black queen who had ever won Queen of Manhattan, which was like one of the biggest things in the world back then, at that time, for her. And so she was winning pageants that only white pageant girls were winning. And that's one of the things that we, in addition to saying, drag is not misogynist is a mythology. The other mythology is that drag is not racist. The drag world has been very racist in the past, but what you saw back in the day was that Black queens just did not... You were expected to lighten up and whiten up your skin and perform as white celebrities for the most part or light-skinned celebrities.Dr. Lady J:And then you were still going to lose no matter how well you did. Because they wanted your audience, they wanted you to participate. They wanted you to bring your people who would pay the tab, but they didn't want to allow you anything real. They didn't want to allow any of that. And so when you watch her confront Mother Flawless and tell her, "Yeah, I am showing my color, and I have a right to show my color." The entirety of this separate world of Black competition comes about because of this moment of just complete, "I'm done with this, I'm frustrated with this. And I will not do this anymore. I will not be this for you." And so being able to move on with that, I think she's one of the most important people.Dr. Lady J:And aside from her, I would say if you know a lot about drag history, you already know about her, look up Lady Chablis, you'll find out a ton of things. She was a trans woman. She never used the word drag queen and didn't like it. But I would still say she's part of the history because that's the culture she was a part of. And she did own like 12 pageant titles.Gray :Awesome. And you said there was a third as well, in your top three?Dr. Lady J:Oh, I forgot what the other one was now. The other one, I know one of the other ones I was going to say was to look up the women who were part of The Cockettes. Just look up The Cockettes and see that there was a troop of cis women, trans people, Black people, white people, babies, adults, the whole gamut.Dr. Lady J:And that was the 60s. And again, everybody thinks they're reinventing the wheel now. And it's because we have no awareness of our own history. It's like, as if we were trying to create art and all artists were trying to create art without having any idea that Cubism existed before, or that Impressionism existed before or any of these things. That's kind of the world we exist in. And that's a lot of why I try to do so much drag education, not just because we deserve to know our own history, but because it helps us get better as artists to not just keep repeating the same stuff.Gray :Awesome. Thank you. Yeah. I really think that Crystal LaBeija is a wonderful figure to highlight. And The Queen is a very interesting documentary. If a little dated, still, I think, worth a watch if only for Crystal's scene at the end.Dr. Lady J:I think it's important for people to see how bland some of the white drag scene was. Like, that's important. It's important for you to see the people that were getting somewhere despite not really doing much. Because that speaks volumes about the history itself.Gray :I think we definitely all have a lot of work to do in kind of uncovering the real, or perhaps the realer history of drag. So Dr. Lady J, I want to thank you so much for taking the time to chat about the work that you do. This has been a fantastic conversation that I think could be twice or three times the length. You have so many wonderful things to say. And I'm so glad that we were able to bring you to campus to share your keynote with us for the Women's Gender and Sexuality Studies Research Symposium. So I do want to give credit to our wonderful producers for this podcast. Chris Cavera and Marco Mendoza. Marco deserves extra thanks for sound editing in these very challenging conditions. We really appreciate you, Marco. Want to give a special thank you to the Institute for the Study of Culture and Society, and to Dr. Jolie Sheffer for allowing us to host this episode.Gray :Be sure to like, and subscribe to the BG ideas podcast, wherever you listen.

On this Episode, number 82, of the “Just Bein’ Honest Podcast”, I am reunited with a woman who has energetically been my soul sister for as long as I can remember - and we didn’t even know it until 18+ years later. Now that my guest Sarah Brenner and I are both “Spiritually Awake” - we found that our connection was made magically through her younger sister, Lauren. Lauren and I grew up together and often at times were considered little fireballs running around the neighborhoods playing nostalgic outdoor games and lip-syncing to “This Kiss” by Faith Hill while wearing her older sisters’ sequined prom dresses. The energy in the Brenner household was “real”, it was healing and it was a place that I instinctively revisited on a regular occasion. Perhaps it was a direct reflection of how I should be a part of a “family”? Perhaps it was how I should live each day with zest and color. Perhaps it was a clearer message that I needed to always dance through life and live each day to the fullest… To reveal more to you, Lauren passed away suddenly and without warning when we were in the seventh grade. My life forever changed from that point on, always wondering and always wishing she were still here. One thing I do know is that she is still here and within me. I see her in everything I do and frankly every white butterfly that crosses my path is a reflection of her power. She is my angel that is guarding me and guiding me through this thing called “Life” and NOW I have her sister Sarah to share her messages with. Sarah Brenner is a purveyor of love and life. With a deep appreciation for the color cerulean, international travel and being of service. She enjoys discovering what “doing the work” means. Sarah has realized that the key to this life is vulnerability and openness while focusing energy on things that fuel passion, create community and connection. Sarah continues to hone her intuition by authentically relating, listening to her body and embracing the divine feminine energy. In the next year, she will complete the first step in becoming a relationship coach and have her first children’s book published. Live music and hiking are her religion and she’s never met a dog (god) she didn’t love. Her hobbies include art, gardening, being inspired by children, listening to audio books, channeling, shadow work and the occasional treasure hunting at thrift stores. She sends love and light to you all! Alright folks, let’s rock this, you just turned on the “Just Bein’ Honest” Podcast.

I’ve been listening on and off and then recently rediscovered! I’m in Alaska in the Anchorage area! and I love listening to the podcast as I practice my Irish Dancing at the sports center! I get a lot of weird looks but hey I don’t care lol! It’s also fun to drive my clients nuts with the Irish music! I work as a direct care provider which means I take people who have disabilities out into the community to do fun things like walk around the sports center or movies and such. One of them in particular always says Really Joanna again? When I have it on it! ?? thanks for the great music!"

Fran Herlihy emailed: "Hi , I’m having one of my insomniac nights , and while trawling for some Celtic music came upon your amazing podcasts. Wow, that was at 3am, now it’s 9.45 am and I’m still listening! I’m living in the Southern Highlands of NSW  Australia. and I’m hoping to educate the Kangaroos to Celtic music as they visit me most days! Carry on your great work." Jane Haines emailed: "Hi Marc, I found you through Jil Chambless. I taught her son, Jack, in Tuscaloosa and we have kept in touch through Facebook. My boyfriend and I are going to Ireland soon with his brother and sister-in-law. They haven’t decided when yet. I am so excited! My grandmother is a Mulligan from County Cork, but never shared information about her family with us. My uncle did some research before he died, so I am going to find that to get caught up and maybe do some more of my own. Glad we found you. Please let me know if you are playing in Birmingham. Thanks!"

PART ONE Scott and Paul announce the five Patreon supporters who are getting signed copies of Billy Edd Wheeler's memoir. Then they fill you in on how you can snag one of two signed Beth Nielsen Chapman CDs for yourself! PART TWO - 02:45 mark The guys talk about cover songs that have become better known than their original versions. PART THREE - 12:34 mark Scott and Paul's in-depth conversation with Beth Nielsen Chapman Beth stops by Songcraft International Headquarters to chat about her new record; how a traumatic childhood field trip set her on a path of creative reflection; why one of her songs took 18 years to complete; the movie that inspired her to start writing songs again after she quit for four years; why a chance encounter with a Beach Boy inspired her to move to Nashville; how she got commissioned to write songs for Willie Nelson; the unusual way Trisha Yearwood discovered one of her songs and made it a hit; and how a song deeply personal song about losing her husband to cancer became an inspiration to Elton John. Singer/songwriter Beth Nielsen Chapman is best known for co-writing “This Kiss,” a #1 country hit and Top 10 pop hit for Faith Hill that earned a CMA Song of the Year award. Other chart-topping hits from her catalog include Tanya Tucker’s “Strong Enough to Bend,” Willie Nelson’s “Nothing I Can Do About it Now,” Lorrie Morgan’s “Five Minutes,” Martina McBride’s “Happy Girl,” and Alabama’s “Here We Are,” which she co-wrote with Vince Gill. As an artist, Chapman has released a dozen albums and placed eight singles on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary charts, including “Walk My Way,” “All I Have,” and “I Keep Coming Back to You.” After her husband lost his battle with cancer, Beth worked through her grief by digging into an emotionally rich body of songs that includes “Sand and Water,” a song that was later covered by Elton John on his 1987 world tour. The long lists of artists who’ve recorded Beth’s material includes Neil Diamond, Michael McDonald, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Roberta Flack, Bette Midler, Keb Mo, Trisha Yearwood, Waylon Jennings, The Indigo Girls, Don Williams, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Jim Brickman who scored a #1 Adult Contemporary hit with her song “Simple Things.” The two-time Grammy nominee has been honored by The Alabama Music Hall Of Fame and was the recipient of The Distinguished Artist Award from the Alabama State Council on the Arts in 2009. She was inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 2016.

Accept drummer Christopher Williams stops by this week to discuss his lifelong love affair with the Hottest Band in the Land. In this long-form talk, Williams talks about his discovery of KISS via the MTV Unplugged appearance in 1995. He also talks about the MTV Video Music Awards performance that the reunited band gave under the Brooklyn Bridge as the clincher in his fandom. Christopher is no ordinary KISS fan. In this hour-plus discussion he describes the scenario which led him seek and acquire one of Peter Criss' reunion era drum sets. It's a great story that has many twists and turns. He also relives his first KISS concert and how he had interactions with each band member throughout the set. Christopher Williams Aside from playing with metal legends ACCEPT, Christopher works steadily in numerous other musical endeavors including performances with a local group of musicians known as Blonder Than Hell. This group features bassist ET Brown, Williams, and Thee Rock N' Roll Residency founders (and former guests on this show) Jeremy Asbrock and Phillip Shouse. This KISS tribute is absolutely incredible and is not afraid to deliver the rarities that the official product shies away from. This year, they are performing a KISSMAS in July gig in Nashville, TN at Exit/In. This special show will feature the band in full makeup and costume performing, in their entirety, the Hotter Than Hell and Destroyer albums. It's sure to be a great night so join Chris and Aaron if you can. More info can be found HERE.
