2ZQHT170 - True Crime

There is a cultural tide of True Crime stories and even faked true crime stories captivating the minds of people around the globe.

This time, I'll be talking about the point of view of an incarcerated criminal, the national and international obsession with True Crime and how addictive it all becomes.

I bookend it with cursory reviews of both Nosferatu and Frankenstein and a few of my own stories of real life blood curdling evil.

People just can't get enough.

You are listening to 2ZQ Hot Takes. This time, I’ll be talking about The AI Boondoggle..

There is a lot of information, misinformation, disinformation, and scams going on and around the current and projected statre of AI,from ghost job scams to false promises made by wildly successful enterpise entrepreneurs, to job losses directly attributed to AI implementation, to wildly contradictory predictions made my AI prognosticators, industry veterans, retired tech bros and the exasperated, burnt out, overstretched, over stressed current workforce, to job seekers trying to, in many cases fruitlessly, figure out how to maintain relevance and integrate AI into their work lives.

"In this episode of Two Zero Q, we chat with author Samuel Garza Bernstein.

Sam has written a great biography of Cesar Romero entitled: "Cesar Romero: The Joker is Wild"

SAMUEL GARZA BERNSTEIN is a Stonewall Book Award-winning writer, screenwriter, and playwright, as well as the author of Starring Joan Crawford: The Films, the Fantasy, and the Modern Relevance of a Silver Screen Icon. He has lived all over the world and worked in just about every aspect of show business, in a career that began at the age of 17 when he graduated a year early from high school in Austin, Texas, and moved alone to New York City. He splits his time between Porto, Portugal, and Los Angeles, CA, with his husband and their pack of incorrigible dachshunds.

If you're a fan of classic movies, Hollywood's star-studded golden age, comic book superheroes like Batman, and (along with Darth Vader and the Wicked Witch of the West) one of the three greatest villains in cinema history, the Joker, you'll applaud and even maniacally cackle at this in-depth revelation of the utterly true story of Cesar Romero. And that's no joke!"

—Michael Uslan, Originator and Executive Producer of the Batman movie franchise

from the Foreword

You are listening to Two Zero Q: 20 Questions With Interesting People from the LGBT community and friends.

This time, my guest is Kyle Casey Chu (aka Panda Dulce) - a writer, filmmaker, and one of the founding queens of Drag Story Hour.

In June 2022, far-right extremists stormed her Drag Story Hour in an attempt to silence her. She is now using her global platform to tell even gayer stories. She lives in San Francisco.

The Queen Bees of Tybee County is her first novel written for middle grade readers and is receiving rave reviews.

"A kind contemplation on generational trauma, race, and queer identity in the South, this book sparkles with queer joy." — Booklist (starred review)

You are listening to 2ZQ Hot Takes. This time, I’ll be talking about AI Employment.

The risks, the challenges, the collective 'blind eye' turned to ward the looming, profound changes coming soon and powerfully to all facets of life and the lack of preparedness to these changes, the prospects for employment during and after the changes are implemented, and some more very terrible 'legitimate job offers.'

Author of ""FAIRYBOY"

Growing up Gay and Out

in Pre-Stonewall New York and Beyond

Garrett has a fantastic story of growing up in New York City and coming out at age 13 in Manhattan.

His life and times, including being the very first "On-Air" reporter to ever come out on live TV, are parts of his rich, offhandedly compelling autobiography.
