In this podcast episode I speak with Toni Maestas the General Manager of the Albuquerque Social Club, Frankie Flores local drag queen and Director of the University of New Mexico LGBTQ+ Resource Center, and Julian Kevon Glover longtime ballroom scene member and assistant professor in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies and choreography and Dance at Virginia Commonwealth University. The 3 perspectives provide insight into queer nightlife in Albuquerque from a queer theory lens and national perspective.

I created this episode after going on a week-long road trip for a class I am in at the University of New Mexico, Route 66 The Mother Road. I discussed what souveniers mean, and how they are ingrained in humanity. I interviewed two of my classmates, Sarah Fryberger, Victoria Trujillo, along with the course instructors Jason Moore and Troy Lovata. The other sources I cite throughout include: Susan Stewart's On Longing, Indigenous studies scholar talks cultural appropriation, stereotyping, ‘Souvenirs: What and Why We Buy’  by Hugh Wilkins, What Role Do Souvenirs Play in Cultural Appropriation?, ‘Tourists’ Souvenir Purchase Behavior and Retailers’ Awareness of Tourists’ Purchase Behavior in the Southwest’ by Kristen K. Swanson Patricia E. Horridge, and ‘Marx's Concept of Fetishism’ by Haskell Lewin and Jacob Morris.

This is the third episode of my podcast Unjust. It is an up-close look at the criminal justice system and what people from all angels have to say about it. This is the third episode that features Judge Amber Kusler, and former public defender. This episode will give a slightly different perspective than the former two, on the topic of Cash Bail. 

Thank you for listing,

This is the second episode of my podcast Unjust. It is an up-close look at the criminal justice system and what people from all angels have to say about it. This is the second episode that features William Ward, Chief Public Defender of Minnesota, the episode is divided into three parts. The first is William Ward telling his story, the second dives into more of the nuances of the issue, and then the last part talks about whos to blame.

This is the first episode of my podcast Unjust. It is an up-close look at the criminal justice system and what people from all angels have to say about it. The first four episodes all deal with cash bail. Episode one is essentially a rundown of the issue with input from Repasentaive Noor from Minnesota. The reason this episode is so much shorter is because of the time limit for the NPR contest, which it revived a honorable mention in!
