The KMMA Media Podcast Network
Back from another unplanned hiatus… this week, I bring you a review and author interview.
What you are about to hear is an interview that I did with Chris Jarvis as part of our It’s A Queer Thang podcast when we interviewed George M Johnson, author of All Boys Aren’t Blue, which is an amazing memoir and has the delightful distinction of being one of the most challenged and banned books in the US.
Chris and Kaylia start this month of holidays with a fun conversation about Hallmark movies, woke Sci-fi, and family traditions. Then we use our own time machine to bring you a 2019 discussion of And The Band Played On in honor of World AIDS Day.
On this episode, our guests are Fresno State Librarian Ginny Barnes, Politician Dion Bourdase, and Bella with the Be True To You Drag Festival. Plus good news and bad news and we finally, finally talk Taylor Swift.
In this episode, we talk about PFLAG, the EOC’s new Little Queer Library, and the upcoming County Board of Supervisors resolution which is an overreach of epic proportions. Plus some post-Halloween fun and Kaylia has Thanksgiving jokes! Enjoy!
Special Guest James joins Chris and Kaylia to talk about some of the most banned and challenged books in the US. We discuss: All Boys Aren’t Blue, Gender Queer, Looking for Alaska, The Kite Runner, This Book is Gay, The Hate U Give, The Bluest Eye… and more!
We talk about Kampout 2023, Clovis Unified School District, gender, queer kids, health care, and Foghorn Leghorn speaks for himself. Our guests are Cy Hiyane of Clovis Unified and Melanie Reno from Kaiser Permanente.
In this episode, Kaylia and Chris recap the lively Clovis City Council Meeting regarding the suggestion of book censorship, chat with Kathleen Reyna of Fresno’s Reel Pride Film Festival, and grill the fabulous Leilani Price about her retirement. Plus our Halloween Watch with Chris and what is the actual meaning of a Whopper?
In this episode, Chris and Kaylia tackle the idea of book bans.
Featuring an interview with “All Boys Aren’t Blue” author George M. Johnson, we talk about race, gender, censorship, and being one’s authentic self. We also chat with Nadine Farid Johnson, a PEN America lawyer who breaks down some of the legal and long-term censorship issues in school libraries.
Plus “death months,” “throbbing members,” and the “danger” of joyful gay sex. Enjoy!
