Modern Lesbian Subtext 101
F4F Radio rings in the new year with a discussion of lesbian subtext in modern television - a topic I’ve wanted to discuss since before the start of 2012! Before the late 1990s, when fandoms began popping up with canon lesbian pairings on shows like “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, “Xena: Warrior Princess”, “Once and Again” and “Babylon 5”, gay characters typically lacked a screen presence beyond the “very special episode”. Today, more network and cable programs seem to be recognizing the appeal of lesbian and bisexual women on the small screen. Yet for every canon lesbian couple with a fan following, it seems like there are many more pairings based on subtext. Sometimes, it even seems like these are MORE popular. As gay and straight audiences, rightly or wrongly, perceive subtext more and more on their TV, we begin to ponder questions like, how much subtext is REALLY there? Are shows intentionally using subtext to pull in lesbian audiences without actually giving them maintext? Can fan followings of subtext couples potentially shift storylines in a maintext direction? We’ll be discussing these kinds of questions in a general context, but we’ll also focus on 4 shows in particular – “Rizzoli & Isles”, “Once Upon a Time”, “The Good Wife”, and “Warehouse 13”. I’ll be joined by a panel of three past guests who between them have written memorable femslash fanfic for all four programs – Adm_Hawthorne, Heartsways, and Sweetjamielee. That’s a lineup you can’t miss!

If Not, Not
Hello,
At times, the Gentle Craft can seem anything but. I don't have problem with the wording; but I worry that judgements have been influenced by study of ethics and principles.
We seem fascinated by what we are not; obvious to notice was is lacking than what is present; but why is this personalized? Not exactly flattering but there you have it. Our behaviour suggests we seek out conflict, stiffly, with hubris, indifferent to the portrayal of freemasonry. This behaviour has been a preoccupation for decades- so I'm once again pointing out the obvious aren't I? In this very active humanist laboratory, unfortunately there is a "small F" within a "large F" Order. It puzzles me, that freemasonry seems uncomfortable with the diversification of process at the front that would cultivate and nuture, while tolerant of the back end where intellectual currency has been loosing value for a great long while.
If there is a a fine line between cricisism and comment in your mind, we can at least speculate if we have discovered a subtext. I'm reminded of the cautions we are taught about assuming casuality.
Join me as I raise the question with you, as I define a stream of thinking from the beginning to this very day- that caused our good friend Walter Leslie such concern and Grand Masters to remain silent on the subject.
Perhaps you will once again advise me on the issue that we have made benign because of our lack of ability- the je ne c'est quai that troubles leadership development. If we come together, we may reveal the secret.

Let's Talk TV: Primetime's Philosophical Side
Join Blogcritics Co-Executive Editor and Founder of Let's Talk TV for this look at how primetime TV taps into its more spiritual side.

My guest Gerry Weaver and I will talk about several current and recent television series and how they deal with the subject of God: Supernatural, Stargate Universe, Eli Stone, Battlestar Galactica, even House

Hatchet Job

He is cramming for debates against an opponent he has called “ineffective,” raising money at a frantic pace to narrow the gap with Willar

Warrior Princess 101: Fans Discuss "Xena"
F4F Radio has been discussing "Xena: Warrior Princess", even now enormously popular among fans of lesbian pairings on TV because of the Xena/Gabrielle relationship, every six months for the past two years. Looks like it's time for a fifth conversation, and appropriately enough we welcome back author/filmmaker Kim Pritekel, who has been involved with the last three Xena shows as either a guest or a cohost. Rather than focus on fan fiction or "uberfic" this time, however, tonight we'll be discussing the television show itself. Kim and I will be joined, not by Xena fanfic authors, but by three longtime fans of the show - Zea Apa, Kelly Neal and Adm_Hawthorne. And we'll be talking about EVERYTHING we loved most about the show, from the subtext to the story arcs to the comedy.

Welcoming to The Leopard Carpet Waberi Jordan
Welcoming to the Leopard Carpet...Singer, Song Writer, Musician; Waberi Jordan Waberi's voice is an enigma steeped in rich Jazz tradition and her songs are forged by the emotion and struggle of living her words. As a songwriter, her lyrics are at once prosaic and deeply poetic in their simple truth. Her lyrical subtext is reflective of diverse story- masters like Marvin Gaye, Phoebe Snow or Sun Ra. Her songs are a shrine for Ancestral remains, sculpted around gently simmering jazz and blue

Season Two, Interview Two - "Rizzoli & Isles"
Having spent the first month of the new year on webseries, in February F4F returns to where it started – discussing popular femslash fandoms with successful fanfiction authors. Tonight we will revisit – well, I’ll revisit, it’s usually the first time for Kim – the TNT drama “Rizzoli & Isles”. When I first did a segment on this series near the end of Season One, it was already a huge hit due to the heavy lesbian subtext between Jane (Ang

The DC Universe - Subtext Becoming Canon (in Spandex), with Authors Merfilly and Rysler
Several months ago we spoke to three very talented authors whose work writing Barbara/Helena femslash had elevated the television series "Birds of Prey" - which was, to be honest, not a very well-written show - to a level beyond what it had ever achieved on the WB. This week we will be getting to the root source of the TV program, and beyond, as we look at lesbian pairings in the DC Universe as a whole. Populated with some of the most beautiful and accomplished heroines in comics, as

Boxing till death, Catholic Priests, and slave boy rape.
Dealing with the so-called " Negro problem " is a puzzle that caucasions tried to unravel for centuries. Purging the country, North, South, East, and West, along with Native Americans, Africans, and Afro-Native American mulatos. Some African and Native born African Americans were sucessful sent back to Africa. Other Black people accompanied Native Americans along the infamous " Trail of Tears. " Then, there were those who proferred murder as the method of exterminating Black people. Eugenics was tried. The H.I.V. virus failed to accomplish the feat. However, a sinister plan not discussed in today's dialogue was also devised to purge of America of the slaves who built her ; rape. Tonight, I will discuss how raping the population into whiteness was part of the " master plan. " As a subtext, I'll give tribute to a man who otherwise will go down in history in ill-deserved anonymity.
