Ep 14 - Broadway's Desperate Need for Color 58:49

1y ago58:49

58:49

New York's Broadway has been referred to as the Great White Way since the early 1900s because of the spectacle of bright lights and dazzling theatre marquees. But that term could also describe, quite literally, the dominance of shows that have been written and led by white playwrights, directors, composers and performers. Broadway is one of the fin…

1:02:24

“Vaginal Rejuvenation” is a term tossed around in movies, TV shows and social media, but how many of us actually know what it is? Some think it’s all about nipping and tucking for better sex.
