#75 - é boylan: The Catalyst for Gathering

“There is something that I think gets in my way, or has gotten in
my way in the past when thinking about the multi-hyphenate,” says é
boylan. “And I think it’s the hyphen. It’s the idea why I like I’m
a non binary human that doesn’t like to hyphenate the non and the
binary because that’s another binary! It’s like the barrier in the
middle. It feels sometimes like it’s divisive within myself.”
Topics of conversation: individual approaches to the
multi-hyphenate the pros and cons of branding capitalism in
multi-hyphenating bragging about callbacks on social media
misinformation on social media é’s new project The Doctor is
Dead.  é is the creator of The Doctor is Dead, a new audio
musical released by Musical Theatre Factory. This podcast series is
a contemporary fantasy for queer imaginations following a secret
society of trans outcasts living underground. Using their unique
abilities to investigate a mysterious empty coffin, the outcasts

begins in the end. The production can be heard on all podcast
platforms beginning September 2nd, with new episodes released
weekly. You can listen to the trailer now, HERE.  é boylan
