  • Oak Chezar on rejecting the patriarchy and more stories from Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp

    Oak Chezar on rejecting the patriarchy and more stories from Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp
    Sep 30 2025
    Radical lesbian activist Oak Chezar spent three years protesting nuclear war at Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp, and another five living on lesbian women's lands. Some of Oak's stories were aired on our original Greenham Common episode with Sue Say and, due to popular demand, we bring you Sarah's full conversation with her here today. Tune in for never-before-seen tales of creative actions, annoying law enforcement, living outside of the dominant culture, and finding love at the lesbian peace camp. If you missed our Sue Say episode, or forgot its contents: Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp was an anti-nuke encampment outside of a US military base in England. There, women (and loads of lesbians) occupied from 1981 all the way through 2000. Every day at Greenham was exciting - for better or for worse. The women were evicted from their camps and terrorized by police every morning, they rebuilt every day, and by the end of the night found new creative ways to peacefully disrupt the military base next to them. Tune in for Oak's never-before-seen tales of creative actions, annoying law enforcement, living outside of the dominant culture, and finding love at the lesbian peace camp.

  • Ronnie D. Ron on creating Shakedown: LA's legendary Black, lesbian strip club

    Ronnie D. Ron on creating Shakedown: LA's legendary Black, lesbian strip club
    Sep 16 2025
    Ronnie D. Ron (also known as Ronnie-Ron and Sha'ron Harris) came up in the LA Black gay disco scene, and soon went on to found Shakedown in 1996. Shakedown was a special place - where women celebrated each other, danced freely and exotically, and found lovers and family. Ronnie discusses the origins of Shakedown, the making of Leilah Weinraub's 2018 documentary, and why they eventually had to close their doors... -Watch Shakedown on the film's official website ;) Thank you for listening to Cruising Podcast! -Reviews help other listeners find Cruising!

  • Tricia Cooke on making a lesbian B-movie trilogy, and her polyamorous marriage with Ethan Coen

    Tricia Cooke on making a lesbian B-movie trilogy, and her polyamorous marriage with Ethan Coen
    Sep 2 2025
    In this episode, we sit down with Tricia Cooke — the creative force behind the recent lesbian comedies Drive-Away Dolls and Honey Don’t. Married to filmmaker Ethan Coen (yes, of the Coen brothers), Tricia has long identified as a lesbian, and we dive into how that identity intersects with her decades-long, straight-presenting poly marriage. The conversation spans two interviews a year apart: first, in Tricia and Ethan’s Manhattan home following the release of Drive-Away Dolls, and then more recently, as Honey Don’t hits theaters. From her early days in the film industry to the making of a queer B-movie trilogy, Tricia shares it all — including some juicy behind-the-scenes moments and insights into working with Honey Don’t stars, Aubrey Plaza and Margaret Qualley.
