Writer of “Parachute Women," Elizabeth Winder joins the Ivory Tower Boiler Room to discuss the behind-the-scenes true story of the four women (Marianne Faithfull, Marsha Hunt, Bianca Jagger and Anita Pallenberg) who helped shape and curate the image of The Rolling Stones. Andrew and Elizabeth discuss the dichotomy between female and male Rockstars and how the women focus more on finding their voice and individuality as opposed to celebrating the Rockstar lifestyle. Andrew and Elizabeth also discuss the rebellious nature of rock and roll and how they sometimes go against society and the status quo. Finally, Elizabeth traces the history of fashion in her book “Parachute Women” and says, “it doesn’t move like that now and I don’t think it ever will again” depicting the several changes that were blooming in the 60s as a result of the counterculture movement.

Welcome to a very special day after Thanksgiving episode with my very own parents. First, I get my parents' honest reactions to Uncle Giuseppe's Pignoli cookies, and then give them adorable gifts from The SoapBox NY (both in Port Jefferson, NY).

Then, we talk about the importance of amplifying Native American voices and provide the background of how Native American Heritage Day came to be (and even the controversy surrounding it). As a white family, we talk about how "Killers of the Flower Moon" is essential viewing to learn about the Osage community and their culture/values and how they were manipulated and abused by white settlers.

After recording, my mom kept repeating "can we have a do over because I'm worried that there's going to be a strong backlash." I assured her that speaking truth to power when it comes to the Native American genocide that we see play out in "Killers of the Flower Moon" is not a fantasy but a reality. At the end of the episode my father emphatically states "What's wrong with history and facts" if it makes you uncomfortable "Deal With It"!

Dr. Shannon Dea, a Professor of Philosophy at University of Waterloo, enters the ITBR to discuss her new book "Beyond the Binary: Thinking about Sex and Gender" which focuses on questions about Gender and Sexuality and attempts to lessen misconceptions about trans, indigenous, racialized and subaltern communities. Shannon and Andrew discuss a growing cosmopolitan community in urban areas as new groups of people come together to form larger more diverse communities. Shannon and Andrew also discuss self-censoring in academia and creating a space for “pedagogical judgement” where an academic might choose to stay silent in order to allow another group to speak for their own experiences.  Finally, Shannon flips the table on Andrew and asks him “Do you actually think the public would enjoy traditional academic conference talks or do you think that academic conference talks should change in order to make them digestible by the public”?

Welcome to the "Enter Mr. DiMaggio" episode of ITBR Rewatches the iconic "Smash" 2012 American TV show! Hosted by Christian Garcia (Host of That Ol' Gay Classic Cinema)

Christian brings attention to the luscious scenery surrounding the Broadway theater and how the city itself is portrayed as a secondary character.

Andrew and Mary discuss Tom’s shortsightedness in saying Marilyn Monroe’s life story would not be as interesting without the inclusion of Arthur Miller and JFK.

Finally, Mary reveals a secret connection to a relative who was well acquainted with Joe DiMaggio and reveals his inner feelings for Marilyn.

Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the "Enter Mr. DiMaggio" episode:

While Karen returns to Iowa to make an important decision about the future, the favorite for the role of Joe DiMaggio—Michael Swift —is discovered to be holding a secret and Eileen suspects her soon-to-be-ex-husband is sabotaging the musical by turning potential investors away.

Educational leader, college professor, and author, B.J. Irons, enters the ITBR to promote many of his novels centered around gay Greek mythology and how he frequently rewrites familiar tales and characters in new and invigorating ways.

B.J. discusses his novel “The Fire Island Ice Queen” about a young college boy who is withdrawn from facing new experiences and is brought to Fire Island to “come out of his shell."

B.J. also talks about his "Bosses of Bane" series that focuses on the experiences of wealthy closeted men who enjoy seducing their interns.

Finally, B.J. hints about a novel he’s working on about HOAs (Homeowners associations) in suburban communities and all of the drama that comes with dealing with neighbors and some of the restrictions and regulations that come with them.

Queer writer and Mariner, Joe Nasta, enters the ITBR to discuss episode 4: “Ted’s not Dead,” of the iconic “Queer as Folk” 2000 American TV show!

Joe and Andrew discuss the real-world vs imaginary aspect of the Queer as Folk universe from Ted’s coma state to Michael sleeping with a guy with beach parasites.

Joe states the difference between longing and yearning as “longing doesn’t have to hurt; yearning is when it hurts” adding nuance to Justin’s definition of yearning “it’s when you want something so bad it hurts” highlighting Justin’s infatuation for both Brian and Chris and his desire to seek more from their relationships.  

Finally, Brian faces a pivotal decision as Ted’s will forces him to decide whether to pull the plug on Ted's life.

Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the "Ted’s not Dead," episode:

While Ted lies in a drug-induced coma, Brian learns he's named the executor of his friend's living will. Also, Justin's mother suspects the truth about her son's sexuality and Michael and Emmett try to remove incriminating evidence from Ted's apartment but discover Ted's longtime crush on Michael.
