Bitch Talk

Send us a textWe're Basic Bitching with our friend down in LA, Richard "the Curse" Horne.  We discuss the series of events that led to his unfortunate nickname, his man crush on Chris Cuomo, and his experience in the front lines as the manager of a Los Angeles health food store.  He gives tips on how to make your shopping experience safer for everyone, and explains why working on the front lines is both a blessing and a curse (pun intended). We also share a collective appreciation for California's elected officials, who have really led the way for the rest of the country! Coming from San Francisco, and LA, it's easy to notice the difference in air quality since the start of the quarantine.  When it comes to the environment, maybe we're ALL the curse? Grab a libation and have a listen.  And as always, stay home and stay safe. --Rate and review us wherever you listen to podcasts!Let us know how we're doing: therealbtpod@gmail.comVisit our website! www.bitchtalkpodcast.comFollo

Send us a textIn this episode, we’re taking you back to Sundance with an interview with director Nicole Newnham and co-director/talent James Lebrecht from the documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution. This film chronicles a Woodstock-esque summer camp for disabled kids that becomes a foundation for the disability rights movement. We discuss James’ experience as both subject and director of the film, and the pros and cons of having too much archival footage to choose from. This film was released under the banner of Barack and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground Productions, and we were happy to have a conversation about this community that is still fighting for equal rights to this day. --Rate and review us wherever you listen to podcasts!Let us know how we're doing: therealbtpod@gmail.comVisit our website! www.bitchtalkpodcast.comFollow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.Listen in every Monday from 6:00 - 6:30 AM on BFF.FMPOWERED BY GO-TO ProductionsSupport the showThanks for listening and for your

Send us a textThis week, we welcome Diana Weymar from the Tiny Pricks Project, the largest textile Trump protest ever.  She discusses the first piece she created for the project, how it has built a sense of community, and how it became the most peaceful way to deal with the stress that the idiot in chief has brought upon our country.  We also talked about the importance of having material record of 45's presidency, because WORDS (f-ing) MATTER.  With over 2,000 pieces in total, this project is truly uniting people all around the world!  You do not have to be a professional to be part of the project, just find a quote from Cheeto face that "inspires" you, stitch it on whatever material you have available, and send it in.  Thank you Diana, for giving us a healthy way to deal with this never ending stress, while being creative, and staying connected.  We usually just turn to whiskey.  Stay safe and sane out there, folks.  Find Tiny Pricks Project on Instagram here.--Rate and review us wherever you

Send us a textWe're taking you back to Sundance, where we interviewed director Liz Garbus and star Amy Ryan of the film Lost Girls.  The film is based on the true story of a desperate mother searching for her missing daughter, which eventually leads the police to the unsolved cases of murdered sex workers. We discuss these real life cases (which are STILL unsolved to this day) and what it means to be a bad bitch.  This is an important story, beautifully told, streaming now on Netflix!  We'd just like to mention that Amy Ryan is a national treasure, and despite the urge, there was no mention of The Office, or Holly Flax.  Saving that for our second interview...  :)--Rate and review us wherever you listen to podcasts!Let us know how we're doing: therealbtpod@gmail.comVisit our website! www.bitchtalkpodcast.comFollow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.Listen in every Monday from 6:00 - 6:30 AM on BFF.FMPOWERED BY GO-TO ProductionsSupport the showThanks for listening and for your support!

There's so much to talk about and we wanted to take advantage of one of the last times we might be able to get in studio (social distancing, duh) and record a Basic Bitch.

Send us a textIn this episode, Ange interviews Kelly Reichardt, director of First Cow. A film set in the 1820s, it follows two misfit best friends trying to find their American Dream as the first cow is being brought into the Pacific Northwest.  They discuss the beauty of friendship, the dynamic between colonists and the Native Americans, her experience as a woman filmmaker in the indie "boys club" film world, and the dangerous effects of capitalism - even back when the country was first being developed.  Filled with beautiful shots, topical social commentary, and a sweet cow (Evie!) - watching this film is a treat. These are uncertain times, but once theaters are back open, or when it's available for streaming, check out First Cow.  Please and thank you.For more info and a link to the First Cow trailer, click here. --Let us know how we're doing: therealbtpod@gmail.comVisit our website! www.bitchtalkpodcast.comFollow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.Listen in every Monday from 6:00 -

Send us a textBitch Talk had a great time chatting with bar owner and bloody mary  maven, Gillian Fitzgerald. Gillian is the co-owner of Casements Irish Bar - a brand new drinking establishment in the heart of the Mission district of San Francisco, and  a bit of an old soul when it comes to talking about her love of the City, it's bar culture, and how past San Franciscans used to drink. Gillian has a fantastic bartending history in around SF including one of our old haunts Nickies in the Lower Haight. We're pretty sure we've run in to her in one of our old nights out on the town because sitting down and swapping stories with her felt like talking with an old friend.  Enjoy our conversation with Gillian and head to Casements any night of the week - their happy hour starts at 4 pm Monday - Friday, and they have a full menu of classic Irish fare to boot.  Follow Casements on Instagram here.Follow Proud Mary on Instagram here. Casements Bar - 2351 Mission Street - San FranciscoVisit their website f

Send us a textWe’re bringing you back to Sundance, this time with Nanette Burstein, director of the episodic documentary, Hillary. She talks about her journey in documenting such a polarizing figure, and her challenges in getting Hillary’s political rivals to be in the film. In a time of great political turmoil, it’s important to keep in mind not just a person’s policy, but their humanity, and how our perception of them is greatly skewed by our own biases. Hillary is streaming right now on Hulu. Give it a watch, give us a listen, pay attention, and please please VOTE! The Hillary 4-part series is now available exclusively on Hulu. --Let us know how we're doing: therealbtpod@gmail.comVisit our website! www.bitchtalkpodcast.comFollow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.Listen in every Monday from 6:00 - 6:30 AM on BFF.FMPOWERED BY GO-TO ProductionsSupport the showThanks for listening and for your support!

Send us a textBitch Talk is live on location at Oakland's Mad Oak bar talking with writer, reporter, poet, and mental health advocate Jenee Darden. She's had a passion for writing since she was a child and has carried that into her career at NPR, Time Magazine, KQED, KALW, LA Times, and many more. Jenee has also led an interesting life--being the daughter of Christopher Darden (the co-prosecutor on the O.J. Simpson criminal trial) brings a certain level of awareness, paranoia, mental instability, and fame that one would probably not want as a teenager growing up in Oakland.  We dive into all of this with Jenee and we ask the question: Does she still think Sterling K. Brown is hot after he's played her dad in the FX special The People V. O.J. Simpson?--Let us know how we're doing: therealbtpod@gmail.comVisit our website! www.bitchtalkpodcast.comFollow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.Listen in every Monday from 6:00 - 6:30 AM on BFF.FMPOWERED BY GO-TO ProductionsSupport the showThanks
