The Score

Global Majority Media

It's time to put the arts on game! Hosts Lee Bynum, Paige Reynolds, and Rocky Jones are three Black, queer artists and pop culture aficionados, who are working every day to bring more diversity, equity, and inclusivity into the arts. Noted by The New York Times as one of the "Podcasts Opera Pros Tune To" in 2021, The Score is their provocative, thoughtful, and humorous commentary on the industry's past, present, and future, as seen through an antiracist and unapologetically Black and queer lens. Each episode features a variety of stories from a variety of perspectives that bring People of the Global Majority, queer, trans and nonbinary folks, and everyone else into the discussion of ownership over and access to the arts. From the opera house to the statehouse to your house, each episode will amplify the voices of those in the field who are pushing the boundaries of what opera is, who it is for, and how it can transform us and our communities.

    A Mother of an Episode!

    Hi there, Scorekeepers! Welcome to another episode of THE SCORE! This week we're doing a bit of news roundup. From AI to Spencer Pratt to frivolous lawsuits aimed at Black doctors of all people, we've all the news that's fit to print. Plus, we chat about Black, queer composer Omar Thomas and his piece "A Mother of a Revolution!" which commemorates the Stonewall Uprising and the life of Marsha P. Johnson and, infuriatingly, was recently banned by a school board in Wisconsin for celebrating "political violence". We also chat about Knoxville, Tennessee's school board banning Alex Haley's Roots, and what the erasure of our history and culture means for Black and white kids alike. All this, plus an extra spicy edition of PBJ! Let's do it to it, y'all! Hosts: Lee Bynum, Rocky Jones, Paige Reynolds Producer: Rocky Jones -- Links "Watertown school board votes to remove song tied to LGBTQ history from spring concert" (TMJ4.com) "We built him a statue. Then we banned his book. | Opinion" (KnoxNews.com) "White Dermatologist Sues 'Find A Black Doctor' Over Alleged Racial Bias" (Complex) -- Hey hey, THE SCORE is now on social!
