Outward: Is A League of Their Own Gratuitously Gay?
This month, Bryan Lowder is away, so hosts Christina Cauterucci and Jules Gill-Peterson are joined by the podcast\u2019s founding co-host Brandon Tensley to talk about some new representations of LGBTQ people involved in the wide world of sports. First, they debate whether the new Amazon Prime take on A League of Their Own, starring and co-created by Abbi Jacobson, might possibly be too queer. Then they discuss the making of Stay on Board: The Leo Baker Story, the new Netflix documentary about a transgender pro skateboarder, with Nicola Marsh, who directed the movie, along with Giovanni Reda, and executive producer Alex Schmider. Finally, they add some new items to the gay agenda.\n\nItems discussed in the show:\nRace Deconstructed, Brandon\u2019s newsletter at CNN\nA League of Their Own, on Amazon Prime\nStay on Board: The Leo Baker Story, on Netflix\nSlate\u2019s coverage of the Yummers debacle\nThe 2022 NLGJA Convention in Chicago\nThe Transgender Issue, by Shon Faye\nGay Agenda\nBrandon: Listen to Rina Sawayama\u2019s new album Hold the Girl\nJules: Follow actor, writer, model Hari Nef on Instagram\nChristina: Listen to Lauren Ober\u2019s new podcast The Loudest Girl in the World\n\nThis podcast was produced by\xa0June Thomas.\nPlease send feedback, topic ideas, and advice questions to\xa0outwardpodcast@slate.com.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
