Chloe Petts, comedian

Season 5 · Episode 2

Monday, February 24, 2025 • Duration 46:11

Chloe Petts is a *very* funny comedian from the UK.

Her work is littered with brilliant examples of what I think of as 'soft' activism – she skilfully endears audiences with her warmth, before a one-two punch reminder of the foolishness of homo- and transphobia.

Chloe is touring the UK and Australia throughout 2025, and you can find her tour dates here.

We discuss music by Tina Turner, Haim, and Kasabian (!). Follow Chloe online.

Margaret Cho, entertainer

Season 5 · Episode 1

Monday, February 17, 2025 • Duration 44:40

Margaret Cho. Period.

A groundbreaking comedian, actor, musician, and advocate, Margaret Cho has been smashing barriers and ceilings in entertainment since the early 1990s. She's a massive queero of mine, and I was quite honestly shook to be on a Zoom with the Notorious C.H.O. herself.

Margaret just released her third studio album, Lucky Gift, including punk pop girl group bangers, musings on opioid addiction, and a beautiful tribute to her mentor, Robin Williams.

We discuss music by Erasure, the Hedwig and the Angry Inch soundtrack, and k.d. lang. Follow Margaret online here.

Bishi, artist and composer

Season 4 · Episode 8

Tuesday, November 12, 2024 • Duration 55:30

Bishi is an artist, composer and producer born in London of Bengali heritage. Trained in both Hindustani and Western Classical styles, she has released and composed three albums, several EPs, movie and documentary soundtracks, and tirelessly advocates for the elevation of women, trans, and non-binary creative practitioners in music and technology.

From coming up in London's queer underground in the 90s, Bishi has carved out a career path precisely for herself – to be frank, she is completely bad ass. I first saw her perform many moons ago at Latitude Festival in 2009, and this conversation was a beautiful opportunity to connect with Bishi after she has gone on to achieve so much.

We discuss music by Minty, Missy Elliott, and Kate Bush. Follow Bishi online here.

Christy DeGallerie, writer

Season 4 · Episode 6

Tuesday, October 29, 2024 • Duration 50:03

Christy DeGallerie is a writer and interdisciplinary artist from New York.

Her contribution to the Modern Love column in the New York Times took my breath away a year ago, in which she wrote about her decision to come out to her mother on the day of her deportation. It's a moving, funny, sharp dissertation on migration, queerness, and gardening, and I insist you give it a read.

Christy is also an enormous music fan, and made this interview exceptionally easy by showing up with some fabulous selections and stories. We discuss music by the Organ, Santigold, and Azealia Banks.

Sign up to Christy's Substack, Really Bad Taste, follow her on Instagram and read more about her charity of choice, the Pauli Murray Center.
