The new monthly episode of the podcast The Tea Talk, hosted by Sanni Est, is already online! This time she invites fellow multidisciplinary artist Julius Thissen for a conversation that covers topics such as both physical and mental health care for trans and non-binary folks, how to navigate institutional structures as gender non-conforming artists and their hopes for a future queertopia.

A convidada do novo episódio do podcast The The Talk é a jornalista brasileira Gabi Furst. Com ela, Sanni Est explora assuntos como a falta de representação para pessoas trans e não-binárias no jornalismo tradicional, os prazeres de viajar despretensiosamente, sua paixão por mídias sociais, sua relação com religião e espiritualidade e seu novo canal no YouTube.

Sanni Est entrevista a antropóloga, artista da performance e aprendiz de taróloga Pêdra Costa sobre assuntos da atualidade, como os desdobramentos humanos e nas transições em curso - e também sobre os elitismos e dificuldades da cena cultural européia. Sempre com muito bom-humor e afeto, a apresentadora Sanni Est troca uma ideia com sua amiga de longa data, colaboradora artística e multiartista Pêdra Costa em sua casa em Berlim.

This time, host Sanni Est talks to Daddypuss Rex, self-ascribed transgender intersectional gender terrorist with a big mouth and an even bigger heart. They work as a multidisciplinary artist/writer, comedian, community organizer, educator, and yoga teacher. Daddypuss doesn’t cut anyone some slack – including themself!
