I'd Love to Chat... with The Luvely Rae

Pillow Talk| M.I.L.F: Aging in the Arts

Let's Chat! Share Your Ideas for Episodes & Opinion [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2046256/fan_mail/new] Simple little stories from the "glamourous" life of a showgirl. Every showgirl loves a watchful eye and we also love feeling good in our skin. The touching and the teasing, is literally what makes it all memorable, in fact I'd argue it's more important than rhinestones and glitter. Alas, there are some performers whose names I can't recall whereas the costume or prop may linger for a moment in my mind, but the dancers that made me feel? The one's who excelled at the touch and the tease? Those are the dames whose names are still on the tip of my tongue years after I watched them grace the stage. But a showgirl is not exempt from the process of aging. So where does that leave us? Most people cringe at the thought of being seduced by a scantily clad grandma, and at some point our bodies give way to gravity and years of late night romps. Does the ingenue long to become a M.I.L.F before she fades into existence? Is there life after M.I.L.F.? In Pillow Talk, The Luvely Rae delivers short antidotes on nightlife and working in entertainment in the U.S. These stories lead to bigger questions such as: what is female empowerment and the difficulties of building notoriety off being sexy.

Corporate Jargon: Useful Connector or Useless Elitism

Let's Chat! Share Your Ideas for Episodes & Opinion [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2046256/fan_mail/new] There's nothing like trying to explain American English idioms and slang to non-native English speakers, to really make you notice how extreme the swings in the usage of words has become. While grade school educators are asked to follow this K.I.S.S. method (Keep It Simple Sweetheart), corporate America (and college campuses) have ushered in phrases with such force that the effectiveness of this secret language is questionable. So why is it that saying something like "let's sync up later," has become the De facto phrase in many offices as opposed to "let's talk later?" Let's chat about it. Music by Mound City by Coleman Hawkins (recorded 1929) ** This podcast is recorded in a style that pays homage to talents like Miss Monitor (Tedi Thurman) and explores topics designed to stimulate conversations.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2046256/support]

The Tax Man Cometh

Let's Chat! Share Your Ideas for Episodes & Opinion [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2046256/fan_mail/new] It's that time of year again, when Americans are all aflutter about taxes. Some people love tax season because it means a nice size check in the mail, while others loath it because it means they must part with money they had become attached to. So why is it that people in other countries, don't seem to share this  experience of tax related elation or dread. Let's chat about it.

Tradwives Tell Tall Tales

Let's Chat! Share Your Ideas for Episodes & Opinion [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2046256/fan_mail/new] Sometimes pop culture trends reported online seem so outrageous, I find myself thinking, "that can't be true. In the same way, the X files warned us that there was a group of powerful men who would meet secretly and make decisions that impacted all of mankind, I wounder if there's a group of "influencers" gathering together to discuss fake trends. Certainly a good business model, other influencers would pick up the stories, thus growing the myth to a point where it is so loud, that mainstream media starts reporting on it. Alas, this podcast doesn't dabble in conspiracies. This week we will take a peek at the "tradwife" trend, the name in and of itself raises some questions. Let's chat about it.
