    Ira to me was the draw of Keep It, so I’m so glad he’s found a new home in the podcast-sphere. Especially loved his most recent episode with Marlon James!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Writing Poems Before a Pregame, Rewriting Novels on the Dance Floor
Q: Why are the flaws and power dynamics within queer communities rarely discussed internally?
Bobuq Sayed and Kyle Carrero Lopez say they are less interested in writing about an obvious external villain than examining contradictions and power within their own communities. They reject the idea that queer spaces are automatically utopian, noting that claims of perfection can obscure people who are excluded or harmed.
Writing Poems Before a Pregame, Rewriting Novels on the Dance Floor
Q: How do you structure a book of poems?
Kyle Carrero Lopez says the poems began as separate works, and he later identified shared themes and worked with his editor to shape the collection. He combined material from existing poems with new writing to create the lyric essay “Public Policy.”
Who Gets to Be Published? with Editor Jackson Howard
Q: Is, do you think that there's a gay lit boom?
Howard says queer books are selling and readers are increasingly open to stories outside their own experience, but he hesitates to call it a boom because success is uneven and cultural attention can shift.
Who Gets to Be Published? with Editor Jackson Howard
Q: How I pick the books, I'll table the rest of our gay fiction gossip.
Howard prioritizes craft, voice, and spirit, but also has to imagine how a book could find readers and make the case for its place in a commercial publishing business.
The Real Cost of Indie Filmmaking with Shatara Michelle Ford
Q: Right, so what changed between these two movies?
Ford explains that Test Pattern was made when they were just starting to pursue a vision, financed themselves, and faced tight budgets, whereas Dreams in Nightmares grew from a more mature, introspective process and a different balance of time, money, and collaboration.
