On this episode, we talk with Shai Chang, Fresno Trans/Queer Community Organizer, for Hmong Innovating Politics (HIP) and Queer Hmong Intersectional Pride (QHIP). We discuss the power of organizing, the excitement of the radicalized youth, and the awesome work these organizations are doing as they fight for justice and equality for the Hmong community in queer politics and spaces.
In this episode, Matt talks about an infamous TV movie – Ghostwatch – that allegedly tricked millions of Britons into believing that the BBC had inadvertently let a malevolent spirit loose on the country. The actual story is both more mundane and more interesting. Plus, Ghostwatch provides a snapshot of public paranormal beliefs of the early 1990s. Come learn about one of the best horror movies Matt has ever seen, and how it reflects paranormal beliefs, and how the movie and its aftermath are remembered.
On this episode, we welcome Simon Biasell (pastor of The Big Red Church), Tracie Cisneros, and Bryan Esparza. Simon discusses a recent act of vandalism and the church’s mission in the community. Tracie discusses the recent Fresno County Board of Supervisors meeting where Gary Bredefeld introduced his proclamation declaring June as Traditional Nuclear Family Month. And then Bryan gives us the skinny on his new LGBTQ+ nonprofit Equal Fresno, the facility they’ve acquired, and how he is working to assist other LGBTQ+ organizations in Fresno.
In this episode, Matt talks about a bit of local weirdness: The Fresno Nightcrawler. This strange creature, or spirit, or UFO, or someone’s legs, has been spotted in and near the city of Fresno, where Matt resides. Is it real? Is it a hoax? Is it mentioned in Native Californian legends? Did a bleached-out pair of Levis become sentient? Find out in this episode!
Join us as we get ready for PRIDE with this delightful interview with Kyle Lowe from CMAC. We learn about all the cool ways our community can get involved with cable access, and Chris tries again to get Kaylia on board with a video podcast. Plus a bit of 90s nostalgia for good measure. Enjoy!
We have all heard of ghost towns, but what about the ghost-facilities that exist within some of the world’s most-populated cities? What happens when a location associated with something as storied as London’s famous Underground is abandoned? What sorts of folklore builds up around it? In this episode, Matt discusses two such examples and what they may tell us about how Londoners view themselves and their city.
Join us for a quickie! We talk to Hope and Joleen with the Reedley Peace Center about what this group of allies is doing to support the LGBTQ community and fight back against the Fresno Board of Supervisors!
In Belgium, there is a forest… and in that forest, there is a fog… but it is not your normal fog, and this is not your normal bit of folklore.
