This week we talked with Kate Bornstein, Barbara Carrellas and The Village Voice’s Tony Ortega about Bornstein’s new book A Queer and Pleasant Danger. The memoir tells the true story of a nice Jewish boy who joins the Church of Scientology, and leaves 12 years later to become the lovely lady she is today. Ortega’s front page article on Bornstein appeared in the Village Voice.
Then we were be joined by Jazz musician Bertha Hope and Todd Weeks of the Local 802 AFM Associated Musicians of Greater New York, to talk about their Justice for Jazz Artists campaign to bring fair pay and benefits to New York’s Jazz musicians.
