Brooklyn underground comedy scene staple Ian Lockwood is our guest!  We will be talking about his brand new EP Not Like Other Girls ... which features leading singles ‘Not Like Other Girls’ , ‘No Homo’, and ‘Your Dad’ , each with accompanying videos. Ian is known for creating comedy pop earworms that are equal parts hilarious and catchy, and his hybrid approach to comedy music has brought him recognition as both a comedian and a musician. His debut, the Nasty EP was called a “tantalizing display of talent” (Comedy Cake) and “sheer curatorial dedication” (Brooklyn Reader). The Not Like Other Girls EP promises to build on this foundation - "an infectious and uproarious record that scratches pop and comedy itches at the same time." With co-host Brody Levesque

LA Weekly has described the lifelong work of Michael Kearns as "collisions of sex and death, of eroticism and grief.”  Globally recognized as Hollywood’s first openly gay actor, Kearns became an artist-activist during the AIDS crisis, whose unparralleled work gave voice to those impacted by HIV/AIDS.  He is our guest today!  We will be discussing his latest inspiration, the world premiere of The Ache For Home, a docudrama illuminating homeless voices in West Hollywood (to be presented online on Sunday October 17). The production features citizens-turned-writers who share inspirational stories from their time on the streets, ranging from narratives of soaring self-acceptance to confessions of truth-telling defeats. The show’s title is a reference to a quote by Maya Angelou, “The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.”  Evolving from a career primarily as a theatre actor, who appeared in television and film, Michael established himself as an award-winning, internationally-acclaimed artist embracing the roles of actor, director, playwright, dramaturge, acting teacher, writing teacher, author, producer, and solo performer.    With co-host Brody Levesque

Today is Bisexuality Day, and the culmination of Bi Awareness Week ( #BiWeek )!  We honor it by talking to one of the foremost educator analysts, author Ritch Savin-Williams. We will be discussing his new book  BI: Bisexual, Pansexual, Fluid, and Nonbinary Youth .  Ritch is a developmental psychology professor emeritus of Human Development. He received the Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, and has written nine books on adolescent development. The last two, previous to BI are "Mostly straight: Sexual fluidity among men" (Harvard University Press, 2017) and "Becoming Who I Am: Young Men on Being Gay" (Harvard University Press, 2016). He is also a licensed clinical psychologist with a private practice specializing in identity, relationship, and family issues among sexual-minority young adults.   In BI: Bisexual, Pansexual, Fluid, and Nonbinary Youth (NYU Press; September 21, 2021), Ritch challenges perceived wisdom about the lives of young people whose sexual orientation is something different than either strictly gay or straight and confused. And we will be talking about that with him today! With co-host Brody Levesque.    

Celebrating Bisexuality Day and #BiWeek - We Discuss the Bi+ Landscape of 2021

Welcome to Journey with Stephanie! Tonight Stephanie interviews her special guest, Michael Ferraro - celebrated Reiki Master and Intuitive Healer. Michael's Bio: I was attuned to Reiki level III (Master level) in the mid 1990s. After many years of performing energy work through Reiki, I started to play with different techniques of energy healing. I found that that Reiki was an amazing stepping stone and introduction to understanding energy and the process of feeling and moving said energy to promote healing.  I found over time, that the power of visualization and directing intension, coupled with true gratitude, amplified the healing power 100 fold! In fact, any person trained in proper techniques of visualization and directing intension and learning how to feel gratitude for the healing taking place FROM THE HEART WITH NO DOUBTS can achieve amazing results. This technique can also be used for manifesting experiences in one’s life. This has become my technique which I use today. I’ve learned that an energy healer’s abilities are increased exponentially when you use this power of focused intention along with visualization.  The more detailed one can be with the visualization along with the intent to heal and gratitude for the healing taking place creates amazing results. Using this technique also increased my ability to trust my intuition, learning to not question the process, but to embrace and trust my ability to know I’m being drawn to to areas that are needed.

There is a new Hamlet in town.  Coming soon is a film production of the classic tragedy with a fresh perspective.  It's focus is from the perspective of Horatio, the man behind the man, in the Hamlet story. This is the first production where Horatio steps from the shadows of the play to be not only a major force, but to shine light on the love and intimacy that Hamlet and Horatio share. "The film begins on an empty sound stage with the death of Hamlet. The action transpires in his last moment of awareness as the hero of Shakespeare’s mostfamous play watches his life flash before him and his soul transcends. Told from the perspective of Hamlet’s closest friend and confidante, Horatio, who takes on the role of film director in order to fulfill his promise to dying Hamlet to tell the story of Hamlet’s life so the world will understand what has transpired in the court of Denmark." says the film's website. Today we have the film's director, award winning Paul Warner, and film editor Sean Robinson to take us behind the scenes of this classic and its more modern reinvention. Paul  is an award-winning director and educator, whose more than 50 productions span film, theater, and opera. Sean is an award-winning editor, whose work has been featured nationwide at premiere venues including Toronto International Film Festival, Film Society Of Lincoln Center, and more.
