My Old Kentucky Homo

This week, Sarah and Spencer Zoomed in with Gay Comedian, Matteo Lane (Yes, the sound quality is absolute shit)! Lane is a New York-based comedian whose stand-up special can be seen on Netflix’s The Comedy Lineup. He has performed stand up on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Late Night with Seth Myers, Comedy Central’s Adam Devine’s House Party, This Week at the Comedy Cellar and The Comedy Jam, as well as HBO’s Crashing. Fluent in five languages and with a singing range of six octaves, Lane lived in Italy as an oil painter and opera singer before starting his comedy career.

Sarah is back! On this episode we talk mental health, Holidays at home, and too many dick jokes for Sarah's taste. We are very happy to be back together after two weeks of not recording or seeing each other!

Queer Kentucky columnist, Anya Lee (she/her), of the Bussy Beat, joined Spencer Jenkins as guest co-host this week. We talk Grindr, vulgarities and trans fetishization. We also talk the importance of Trans Day of Remembrance and the importance of trans visibility.

While Spencer and Sarah take a break this week to focus on a few other projects, we take a quick trip back to June 2021! Natalia Bishop, owner and founder of Story Louisville interviews Spencer about his journey in the creation of Queer Kentucky and Queer media. We know you’ve all been wondering how it all started, right?

Sarah and Spencer took advantage of this time together without a guest to laugh about the most amazing Halloween costume they witnessed in 2021. What do you know about a studly man painted up shirtless in the blue and yellow Michigan state colors?

We also discuss speaking to the public about diversity, equity and inclusion. We also answers questions that "straight people are scared to ask their LGBTQ+ friends." Check this episode out yall, and every other episode.

Spencer and Sarah took a quick trip to Lexington, Kentucky to catch up with acclaimed novelist, Silas House. The amount of puns we could write about finding “Home” in Kentucky with Silas House is infinite. We discuss being gay in Appalachia, the Queer progression of Eastern Kentucky, the creative process and go to karaoke songs.

House is the nationally bestselling author of six novels--Clay's Quilt, 2001; A Parchment of Leaves, 2003; The Coal Tattoo, 2005; Eli the Good, 2009; and Same Sun Here (co-authored with Neela Vaswani) 2012, and Southernmost (June 2018)--as well as a book of creative nonfiction--Something's Rising, co-authored with Jason Howard, 2009; and three plays.
