In this inaugural episode, Tre’vell and Mikelle introduce the Black Queer Canon and induct Noah Nicholson from the 2005 LogoTV series “Noah’s Arc.” They discuss the show’s predecessor “Punks” as well as the way Noah, played by Darryl Stephens remains one-of-one. In an interview with show creator Patrik-Ian Polk they discuss how the character came to be, homonormative relationships and whether Noah is the villain after all.

Black Queer Canon is a production of Slayzhon. It is created, hosted and executive produced by Mikelle Street and Tre’vell Anderson. Chris Rodgers is our associate producer and editor. Our theme is the track “Soul” by Neverending Nina. The project is supported by Critical Minded, an initiative to invest in cultural critics of color cofounded by The Nathan Cummings Foundation and the Ford Foundation.
