031 - Garance Doré - Photographer, Illustrator & Author Jun 21, 2016

Show notes

Did you know that the artist Garance Doré used to teach windsurfing at a naked camp? As for who taught Doré the important life lessons, her mother and her father (as well as her Berber-born grandmother) instilled the importance of hard work, embracing one's differences and that there are far more important things in this world than status symbols. She also learned for herself that "cool" is a state of mind." Plug your headphones in to hear the rest of her story. It's worth it, especially if you've been wondering lately, "What does success mean to me?" Want more Garance? @ garancedore Want more Jay? @beardwizard Edited by Jay Buim Produced by Kate Barnett

030 - Julianna Barwick - Musician Jun 07, 2016

Show notes

Okay, music fans: today we have a treat for your ears by way of singer Julianna Barwick. She's known for looping her own voice over and over on tracks and the end result makes her sound like a true angel, but she is also a real person! How she went from a capella in Tulsa, Oklahoma to opening for bands like Panda Bear and Dirty Projectors as well as playing for her own dedicated following is another story. In fact, it's one that you can listen to right now if you just plug your headphones into the side of the computer over there (or into your phone, are you on your phone?) and pop those little buds inside your ear holes.

029 - Katie Sturino - Publicist, Founder of 12-ish Style, Toast the Dog’s dogager May 24, 2016

Show notes

Katie Sturino doesn't judge morning teeth-brushers. She's a blogger/model who runs her own PR agency/mom-ager to three Instagram famous dogs. And no, she's not a dentist, but she is a proponent of doing what makes you happy. In this episode of Oh Boy, Sturino and Jay cover everything from owning your personality to what "being real" means, career paths (plus awkward internship experiences along the way), body acceptance and, yes, morning brushing.

028 - Tennessee Thomas - Drummer & Political Activist May 10, 2016

Show notes

Tennessee Thomas makes the backslash career look good. She runs The Deep End Club; she's a drummer -- currently for Elvis Costello and the Attractions, and if you used to listen to The Like, that's her on the beat; she's an actress; and she makes PSAs. Host Jay Buim sat down with Thomas to discuss all of the above, but this time, rather than telling you to grab your headphones, I suggest you pack your room with foam egg crates and turn the volume up. Drum roll, please... Want more Tennessee? @tennesseebunny Want more Jay? @beardwizard Edited by Jay Buim Produced by Kate Barnett

027 - Julie Wainwright - Founder & CEO of The RealReal Apr 26, 2016

Show notes

Julie Wainwright didn't want her world to be small. The RealReal CEO told Oh Boy host Jay Buim this while discussing her decision to pursue a serious career during a time when many women she knew were dropping out of school to get married. In this interview, Wainwright covers what it was like growing up in rural Indiana (she had a motorcycle at age 12), who her influencers were (Gloria Steinem and Jane Goodall), what it was like working in Silicon Valley in the 80s and her path through the business ranks to CEO status. It's a really good listen. It's funny, too! Enjoy. Oh Boy is supported by Audible.com.

026 - Sarah Sophie Flicker - Mama, Performer, Director, Aerialist, Writer, Activist, Feminist Apr 12, 2016

Show notes

Sarah Sophie Flicker lists "Mama, Performer, Director, Aerialist, Writer, Activist, Feminist" as the top descriptors in her Twitter bio -- telling, considering that what she does "for a living" isn't as simple as a one-word answer. And why should it be? In this episode of Oh Boy, Sarah Sophie Flicker talks to host Jay Buim about her years in the San Francisco punk scene, law school, the unglamorous side of moving to LA to pursue acting and finally, New York, where she not only thrived (trying to not give away too much here) but found a way to merge her interest in politics and trapezing -- yes! -- into a political cabaret. Honestly, you just need to listen. Enjoy! Want more Sarah Sophie? @sarahsophief Want more Jay? @beardwizard Edited by Jay Buim Produced by Kate Barnett

024 - Silas Howard - Writer & Director Mar 14, 2016

Show notes

In this 24th episode of Oh Boy, we meet Silas Howard, the first Trans director to work on the critically acclaimed show Transparent. He takes us through his creative path, which led him to San Francisco in the 90s where he found his people in the queer punk scene. Around age 28 the itch it express himself in a new way became hard to ignore. He wanted to make a film because he felt like there weren’t stories showing people like him and his friends.
