Boob Tube Podcast Tamar Barbash

This week I am joined by Tracy Tutor - author, real estate agent, and star of Bravo TV's Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles. 
We had an opportunity to look at Tracy's career trajectory; how she's worked her way up through the ranks to find herself on a hit television series as well as what motivated her to write her first book, Fear is Just a Four Letter Word. 
As the only female realtor on Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles, Tracy brings a wonderful perspective to the conversation of being a woman in Hollywood. 
Enjoy our interview and be sure to catch Tracy on Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles Tuesday evenings on Bravo. Tracy's book Fear is Just a Four Letter Word is currently available for preorder on Amazon and will be officially released on July 14.

This week Tamar is back with a new episode and could not be more excited to have Tanya Saracho join her! Tanya is brilliant and funny and shares incredible insight into her journey from playwright to TV writer. 
Tanya is the creator of Vida, a show that follows the lives of sisters Emma and Lyn as they navigate life in East LA after their mother's death. The show beautifully weaves together themes of gentrification, cultural identity, sexual identity, and family relationships. The third and final season premieres this Sunday, April 26th on STARZ. 
In this episode Tamar and Tanya have a chance to chats about the creation of the world of Vida as well as the lack of Latinx representation on TV and Tanya's experience bringing her voice to writers rooms. 
 
Enjoy!!!

Hello from social isolation!! I hope you are all hanging in and making it through this incredibly challenging and surreal time. To keep you company during these weird days, I've decided to put out short bonus episodes each week recommending a female-created show for your viewing pleasure. It will give me a chance to highlight some of the amazing women telling incredible stories while we're all on a bit of a hiatus from our regularly scheduled programming. 
First up - Jenn Kaytin Robinson's Sweet/Vicious. This show was screaming #MeToo before anyone else joined in. It is powerful and special and was canceled far too soon. I still hope every day that someone decides to give it another chance. 
Thanks so much for listening to Boob Tube! Come find me on twitter and instagram, and if you happen to find yourself with a few moments to spare, head over to apple podcasts and leave a review of the show. Til next time. xox

Hi all! Excited to be back with my our episode of 2020!
This week Boob Tube welcomes Ashley Bissette Sumerel, founder and editor-in-chief of Tell-Tale TV. At Tell-Tale, Ashley and her staff watch and review dozens of television episodes weekly. We had an opportunity to discuss the ways that our ever-evolving world impacts the way experience television.
How does something like #MeToo affect our perception of the stories being told? How do we reconcile loving television shows that were once our biggest sources of comfort but are now, through a more current lens, clearly problematic? 
Ashley and Tamar explore some of these questions and more on this week's episode. We'd love to hear your thoughts as well! Hop on over to twitter and join the discussion. 

With two days left in 2019, Tamar reflects back on the past year. There is so much to be grateful for, including the launch of this podcast and the incredible 9 women who graced us with their voices in this inaugural year. 
Tamar also takes a moment to highlight some women outside of the TV industry who have had a major impact on her this year. 
Thank you all for being a part of this journey. I cannot wait to share more voices and more stories with you in 2020!!
Happy New Year!
