Tempting Faith Episode #4

Well look at that, we've done a whole 4 episodes. Woohoo! I'm very happy to say that each time they've gotten better and better. Our sound quality has gone up (thanks to new mics) our audio mixing is the bomb (thanks to Cory) and our guests just keep getting more lively.
This time we had the esteemed Meliza Bañales from Sister Spit. Bañales was the first Latina to win a poetry slam on the west coast.She wrote the book Say It With Your Whole Mouth at the age of twenty-five which went on to be nominated for the Poetry Center Book Award in 2004. She has also worked on and appeared in a number of independent films. Her own film, Do the Math, with award-winning director Mary Guzmán was the winner of a 2006 Frameline Completion Grant and received an Honorable Mention in Outfest 2007. She is now in production on a short film called Getting Off, with J. Aguilar coming to festivals in 2009 and is the co-executive producer of Tina D'Elia's film, Lucha, about the revolutionaries of El Salvador.Bañales is currently working on a one-woman-show, One Bad Year, as an artist-in-residence for Airspace in San Francisco.

Time for Change

Episode 2 is a work in process.Understanding the construction of 'gender' through an analysis of transsexualism is enormous and full of intricate details. There is no one way to look at transgender people except to take it person by person. Why do they want to do this? What does it mean for them? Being transgender is as normal as being alive. Transgender people are everywhere. They are teachers, doctors, construction workers, and waiters. They attend college, have children, and enjoy careers. We at TLP honor of all those who have come to the realization that life would be better lived as the in the body that they feel on the inside. We hope you like the interview. When Mags says, "Your relationship is not a checklist of body parts." we hope it touches you as it did us.
