Hot pod summer: Steven Canals and Ngaiire

Published: Dec. 30, 2021, 7 p.m.

Settle in for deep and meaningful chats with two of our favourite Stop Everything! guests of 2021: screenwriter and director Steven Canals and singer, songwriter and artist Ngaiire. Steven reflects on the end of Pose, the award-winning series hailed as ground breaking for trans representation. Steven shares what it was like to be in the room when series lead Billy Porter shared his HIV status with the cast and crew of Pose, and his view of the current TV landscape. Ngaiire discusses the release of her long-awaited album ‘3’ which puts her Papua New Guinean roots front and centre in a conversation covering music, motherhood, home and breaking free of industry expectations.
