Time to hail a Taxi! This week we are discussing Season 1 of Taxi, where we take a look at Elaine being the token female character that did not get the spotlight she deserved. We also look at the side characters and how they are mostly there to affect the main cast, yet the situation or the character rarely comes up again (oh the joys of US network TV in the seventies). Join us on Braless Watch! Taxi!!

Ready to get into the dark, gritty world of NYC in Happy!?

On Braless Watch this week, we are chatting about Clean Slate’s Season 1, which was one of the final projects produced by the famous Norman Lear. We will be diving into how a small town in southern United States is different for LGBTQIA+ folx than a large city in the north, the good and the not so good. We will also look at how change can be a hard but a necessary thing for everyone to be their best self, especially for our trans niblings. Tune in!
