Tis a classic episode today! Few people know that Brian's grandfather, Hurley Hughes, was a wrangler for the hollywood movie business back when the term "teamster" meant you rode a team of horses. He worked on Gunsmoke, passed by John Wayne a few times, and has tons and tons of stories to tell. Today we look back on one of our most special episodes that we've gotten to record. Enjoy reminiscing with Grandpa Hurley!

The world of sex scenes and intimacy on the screen and on the stage has always been a bit of an enigma. We need to be able to tell a story or affect the audience in ways that sometimes call for it. Sometimes a producer just wants to sell more downloads. But how does an actor protect themselves in these situations? Luckily, since the dawn of the #metoo movement, we have seen several positive changes in the entertainment industry to addresses all of this. And one of those changes was the introduction of the "intimacy coordinator". Today we talk to Tonia Sina, one of the pioneers of this new position and founder of Intimacy Directors International. She and her current organization, Intimacy Directors and Coordinators, have been pioneering the best practices for performed intimacy, simulated sex and nudity for theatre, live performance, tv and film. They aspire to create safe and harm-free environments for the production of intimate scenes.

I am a HUGE fan of what they are doing. Check out their website at:

www.IDCProfessionals.com

There you can find workshops on intimacy and intersectionality, consultations for your project, and much more. They were even featured in the NY Times! Check out that article here: AWESOME NY TIMES ARTICLE

Life in 2020 has been quite the readjustment for most people. Students have had to become homeschooled, working from home is the norm, and just when you think quarantine life is over, Covid pops it's frustrating head back up and we have to readjust again.

But what's it like to be an active band right now? You can't have live shows really. Venues aren't really booking anywhere. So what are musicians supposed to do?

The Imaginaries are an OKC-based folk duet that have been on the front lines of creating a new normal for artists. They, along with countless others, have utilized technology to their advantage, playing online shows via live-stream, and are planning to release a brand new album in the upcoming months. Today we talk to them about that album, their awesome new music video, and life as a married couple that is pursuing their dreams in music during this weird time of history.

Check out their music video for "Revival" HERE:
