In this fantastic episode, Selah talks with JJ Jones, a self-described California raised, Hard-of-Hearing, Queer, Multiracial BIPOC/Latinx, Two Spirit Sober Drag Slaylien whose drag persona is Mudd. JJ shares on their experience playing Dr. Frankenfurter in Sac State's 2021 production of Rocky Horror Picture Show, their creative process, some of their favorite art pieces/forms, how their intersectioning identities play into their creativity, the power of creativity, making the ancestors proud and more. This episode (which is mostly bad quality audio due to the mics not being plugged in right(I was a baby podcaster when this was recorded leave me alone)) also includes a particularly hilarious moment where Selah hands JJ a mic, as if that will, in fact, do something. Selah and JJ close this episode off by sharing songs and artists that resonate with the discussion (Selah talks about Jon Batiste- shocker).
