Episode 76 - Nia King, Drew Arriolla-Sands, Ambrosia Bartosekulva
Today Sara Century finally finishes off our series of talks with artists and critics about their plans and feelings going forward in our current cultural climate. We’re sorry about the delay, but between the two of us we’re suddenly working like 150 hours/week after months of a combined 0 hours/week. We were actually going to upload this on Friday but then as we were getting it ready WWIII happened...
But, we’re here now! Or she is. And she’s talking to a few more of her crazy talented friends about their work and their plans for their work despite society’s now impending expiration date. First up is “We Want the Airwaves” podcaster and multimedia journalist Nia King, followed by TRAP GIRL’s Drew Arriola-Sands, and then we wrap things up with abstract multimedia and just a general lexical gap of an artist, Ambrosia Bartošekulva!
As always you can find this episode on iTunes, FeedBurner/RSS, Stitcher, or by clicking here and doing the whole right click > “Save As…” deal.

Each week Sara Century, Katie Rein, and I have been talking to different artists that we know and/or respect about how they are processing the current state of our nation and how they plan to proceed with their work. This wasn’t a call to “Make Punk Great Again,” these were conversations with real artists about how they plan to approach the real challenges they face.
We’ve done six of these episodes now and talked to eleven artists and critics (or thirteen if you include me talking to Sara and Katie), and I feel like we’ve gotten a good sample of artists down. Because Sara and I are so incredibly busy these days we are officially ending this series here, though one or both of us will be back in the future to do more casual interviews, mixtapes, and whatever the fuck else.
However, if you happen to know anyone we should talk to, or there is anyone that you would personally like to talk to, feel free to submit names, suggestions, or your own recorded interviews to rob at undressingunderground dot com. Also, feel free to leave us a voicemail with your own thoughts and feelings at 260-PUNK-POD (260-786-5763).
We’ll be back.
In the meantime, please click on all of the links and support all the artists above (including Sara Century)! Also, if you’re just joining us, go back and check out the other interviews that the three of us have done and go way back to check out some of our other talks. I’ll get the rest of those up eventually....

LGBT Fiction Recs Under The Cut!
Aaron’s February 2019 Recs!
Six Of Crows Duology Six of Crows is not specifically an LGBT story, which is why I haven’t included it until now, but it has a main mlm romance, the first one I ever read in a book, and it and its sequel are some of the most well-written and engaging heist/fantasy novels I’ve ever read.
Trap Girl Trap Girl is a feminist punk band lead by trans woman Drew Arriola-Sands, and is one of my absolute FAVORITE things to listen to ever. Go check them out on spotify or bandcamp if you’re dysphoric or having a hard time. Or even if you’re not.
Isaac’s February 2019 Recs!
Their Story Their Story is a sweet manga about two girls falling in love. It’s written by a woman and lacks gross fetishization of their pure love. It’s rare to find such sweet media about wlw being in love and goofy and full of personality compared to mlm content, but this manga does an amazing job for making both the girls have more to them than just being wlw. It’s sweet, soft, and heartwarming! 
Doukyuusei Both a movie and a manga, Doukyuusei portrays a sweet and nervous romance between two high school boys. It’s heartwarming, and not some nasty yaoi shit that is usually found with mlm in this type of media. It shows them with healthy communication, going at their own pace and falling in true, deep love. Easily one of my fav depression movies to watch when I need a pick me up!
