In With the OutCast
If you missed Kate on KOOP's OutCast, the audio is now up.

Interviewing an interviewer is always a dicey proposition, and I'll be the first to admit: I can be a tough subject – tangential, long-winded, potty-mouthed. But I must tell you, my experience on KOOP's OutCast this past Tuesday was one of the best I've had in the game.
Hot media-on-media action pretty much sums it up. Host Heath Riddles did his homework and asked deeper than the obvious questions. Plus, I was treated to eye/earwitnessing the depths of Stephen Rice's crooning talentude. Did I just type, "depths"? His brilliant news account of the West Texas Chico's Tacos homophobia incident was presented in the form of a thoughtful re-working of the classic C&W hit "El Paso," presenting key changes previously unheard in the ditty and surely making Marty Robbins spin in his grave, if not posthumously saddlesore.
If you missed the hijinx, the podcast of the July 14 broadcast is now up for you to click and listen to me and the fellas discuss things like "lesbian flavor," the origin of the Gay Place, and how it doesn't suck too bad being a dyke in Austin. Also, keep listening past my interview to hear a terrific chat with local filmmaking hotten hottytot PJ Raval.
