New Monuments

A Sunday in September I hang out w one of my favorite memers (memists?) @infinitepiss! We talk memes, communism, and being trans.

I interviewed Joey Steel, host of the Dispatches From the Underground Podcast, earlier this summer.

This week I talk to photographer/artist Noah Fecks about growing up in New York, discovering your own aesthetic, and taking pics of naked people!
Recorded in Red Hook Brooklyn on 09/02/2020.

I talk w owner (and bartender!) Claire Sprouse of Hunky Dory in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.
We talk gratuity-free service, what the Hell is a PPP loan, and making pivots on a dime every week in the New New York.

I talk w my friend Sean Meade, a financial consultant who focuses on the restaurant industry and small business growth. Sean studied finance at Morehouse College.
We talk about basic (and I mean basic economics) for folks like me who know nothing about all these concepts. Sean is a great guide for what's been going on right now, and helped me understand what the hell all the words in the news mean regarding money right now.
A great crash course and I look forward to speaking with him again more in depth!

I talk to musician/activist Jim McHugh in Herbert Von King Park in BedStuy.

Topics Covered
- Anarchism
- Music and its role in activism
- Mutual Aid
- Abolishing Work

I talk to Joyce McMillen in Harlem about Child Protective Services in NYC. This is one of the craziest things I've ever heard about.

I continue my talk w Christina about therapy. 

Recorded this one 07/10/2020 in Long Island City in Queens.

Christina and I talk sex work, therapy, crazy shit that's normalized in our world, and things we can do about that.

I talk w Neena, former floor manager of Champ's Diner. We talk about how normalized the awfulness of the bar/restaurant industry is. I think what's crazy about this episode is how not crazy any of this seems to someone who is in the industry. These are all awful practices, share this episode w folks who don't work in restaurants so they can see how terrible it is.
