"Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution" is a new documentary that traces the history of LGBTQ+ entertainers in comedy. From legends like Lily Tomlin, Wanda Sykes and Rosie O'Donnell, the film discusses how LGBTQ+ trailblazers made a space for themselves in stand-up, late night, and Hollywood films. Director Page Hurwitz and comedians Suzanne Westenhoefer and Todd Glass discuss the project, which is available on Netflix starting today.

Bestselling author Frederick Joseph's latest poetry collection explores the complexities of relationships and the heartache of loss. He joins us for a conversation about his new book, We Alive, Beloved on the day of its release.

A new film premiering on Apple TV+ attempts to humanize the epidemic of missing and murdered indigenous women. Golden Globe winner Lily Gladstone plays Jax, a woman trying to solve the mystery of her missing sister while trying to create some degree of stability for her niece, Roki, played by Isabel DeRoy-Olson. Both join to discuss "Fancy Dance."


New Zealand-Australian musician and singer Jordan Rakei's latest album, The Loop, features a beautiful symphony of bold orchestral and soulful choral arrangements. He joins us in the studio to perform songs from the album live.
