The Leftscape 2024 Season 1 begins with special guest, Robert Brooks Cohen! Cohen is a writer, content creator, and life coach living in Los Angeles. He spent seven seasons writing and producing for Law & Order: SVU, and in 2019, he created Two Bi Guys, a podcast about sexual fluidity, masculinity, and the gender spectrum. His first book, Bisexual Married Men: Stories of Relationships, Acceptance, and Authenticity, was published by Routledge in 2023. In this featured conversation, he shares about his personal journey, the making of the book, questions of identity in the current political climate, and future creative possibilities.
Co-hosts Wendy Sheridan and Robin Renée catch up at the beginning of the show after the long winter break. News highlights include Sweden's successful bid to join NATO, the Alabama Supreme Court's ruling that embryos are children, SCOTUS hearing arguments on whether social media companies have the right to censor, the tragic death of nonbinary student Nex Benedict, scientists isolated in Antarctica develop their own, unique accent, the various Trump trials, and more. Wendy introduces a new mini-segment of the show with her nomination of John Oliver for a Lefty Award. In Why Is This Awesome?, Robin is excited about having checked out a recent concert by Young Gun Silver Fox.
