Roxane Gay on The L Word, Queer as Folk, Che Diaz

Jess is joined by ROXANE GAY, best selling author (Bad Feminist & Hunger) and cultural commentator for a wild culture catchup. We discuss Roxane's desire to write for THE L WORD GEN Q, how she would have handled the Miranda/Che Diaz storyline on AND JUST LIKE THAT and her work as a writer/producer on the new QUEER AS FOLK. Plus, how Roxane’s wife chased (and won) her over, Shonda Rhimes vs. Aaron Sorkin's TV writing Masterclass, the Dorinda Medley “She’s Startin’” meme on QAF, Wanda Sykes on Fire Island and more!
