VOICE: Introducing the world’s most unusual show. And then the announcer, who is kind of like the anchor for the show, makes an entrance into the most unusual show. And their eyebrow arches are, like, damn near touching heaven. I mean, you know, they have headdresses with feathers, and crystals, and the cleavage just hiked up high. You know, in all different shapes and sizes and colors. Y’know, the orchestra in the pit is tuning up, and the lights are starting to dim, and everyone in the audience is hushed and dressed to impress.īRITTANY: So the band starts and the lights come up and suddenly the entire stage is populated with 25 of the most dazzling divas that you have ever seen in your life. We think you’ll like it as much as we do.īRITTANY: The year is 1957, and you're seated at the Apollo Theater up in Harlem, and the show's about to start. KATHY: And we wanted to play their episode about Stormé DeLarverie, who was one of the leaders of the queer rights movement in the US.
As they like to say, the show is all about Blackness from Blackness’ biggest fans. They feature great conversations and deeply-reported stories about Black culture. It’s called “The Nod,” and it’s hosted by Brittany Luse and Eric Eddings. KATHY: This week, we want to share an episode of one of our favorite shows out there.
