Warner Brothers is rebooting Harry Potter as a television series. Bayleigh Ackman and I both enjoy the Harry Potter universe but, given J.K. Rowling's positions on trans rights, we are reluctant to watch the new show. In this conversation Bailey and Jerome talk about the things they enjoy about the Harry Potter universe and question whether or not you can ever really separate the art from the artist.

Alex Palacios is a community health worker and advocate for more equitable and accessible healthcare systems. In this conversation we talk about how fear of immigration authorities is leading people to delay healthcare, how past experience informed Minneapolis' resistance to the federal government, and we share our personal opinions about the current state of the United States public healthcare system. Note - in this conversation we mistakenly refer to Hennepin County Medical Center as the only Level 1 Trauma Center in Minnesota. It is not the only one - it is the busiest one.

Tom Wheeler is a Realtor with HomeFound Boise, he is the President of Canyon County Pride, he is one of Realtor Magazine's Top 30 under 30, and he's getting his MBA!

You can send this one to your educators. I got to sit down with Dr. Amy Zsohar! Amy was named the Minnesota Board of Trustees Educator of the Year for 2023, she is a professor at Inver Hills Community College, and she is also the staff advisor for their LGBT+ Club! What’s fun about this conversation is that Amy seems to have been named as Educator of the Year at least in part because of her “unusual” teaching methods. I asked her all about them and now I understand how what she does to educate her students can work to change our lives for the better. I loved it and I’m pretty sure your friends in education will love it too.

We talk with author Zaylore Stout about the censoring of queer media and the oppression of LGBTQ+ culture. And as luck would have it - our very first episode was a celebration of Zaylore's book Our Gay History in 50 States; a book of queer history that has been targeted by anti-LGBTQ+ activists. Zaylore is also the founder of Zaylore Stout & Associates so he is able to give us a unique perspective on book bans in America.

We’re going to enjoy a great conversation with a close personal friend - Adrian Benjamin! Adrian worked with me on my first run for office and then expatriated to France shortly thereafter. He lived there through the Paris COVID lockdowns and subsequent travel restrictions and remained there until very recently. We are catching up with him today during a visit home before his next big adventure. Stream more episodes: https://www.bottomlesscoffeeshow.com Connect with Jerome: https://www.jerometevans.com

This episode of Bottomless Coffee Podcast was recorded live at Inver Hills Community College with their LGBT+ Club. We changed things up and asked the students to submit questions that they'd like to be asked and that led to an incredible conversation about college life, LGBT+ advocacy on campus, coming out and being outed, and things students and teachers can do to be more inclusive, and queer joy.
