Black Queer Canon: The Podcast

'Pose's Pray Tell (ft George M Johnson)


Listen Later

"Live! Work! Pose!" is what Prayerful "Pray Tell" exclaimed at the start of each episode of FX's adored show "Pose." Portrayed by Billy Porter, Pray Tell is the commentator, church queen and community elder that poses as one of the show's centers. And while viewers were treated to his catty reads and over-the-top demeanor, the character was given depth through his battle with HIV, reconciliation of his past traumas and more. This week, bestselling "All Boys Aren't Blue" author George M Johnson joins the podcast to discuss the character.

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.
