It's the most wonderful time of the year, Scorekeepers! Welcome to another episode of your favorite podcast, THE SCORE! This week, we're talking about the holiday season (0:23:29). What are we celebrating this year? What are we definitely NOT celebrating this year? And how do our identities inform those feelings and decisions? But first, we finally wade into the Wicked discourse and Lee gives us their review of the new all-Black production of Gypsy on Broadway, starring the legendary Audra McDonald (0:00:32). Last but certainly not least, for PBJ we celebrate the life of Black and queer artist, activist and icon, Nikki Giovanni (0:54:17). Let's do it to it, y'all! And HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you and yours!!!
Hosts: Lee Bynum, Rocky Jones, Paige Reynolds

Hey there, Scorekeepers! Apologies for our tardiness, but we've been going through it, y'all. I mean we all have, of course, but your hosts had some personal emergencies to tend to these last few weeks that meant putting the show on the back burner for a sec. But we're back and so happy to be with all of you lovely people! This week, we start with a quick chat about how we're all feeling about the state of the world. Spoiler alert: NOT GOOD (0:47:07). But if you want to skip to the fun part, go right ahead (0:11:33), because we're returning to our series about the iconic early 2000's sitcom, Noah's Arc, and it's just getting better and better. Join us as we dive into episodes 4-6 of the first season and issues like messy relationship drama, femmephobia, slut-shaming, magical non-profits, and much more. And, of course, we couldn't end without a little PBJ to get you on through to the weekend (1:27:10). Let's do it to it, y'all!

It's finally here, Scorekeepers. It's Election Day 2024 here in the US. So if you haven't yet voted and made your voice heard, may we kindly suggest you pause the pod and go do that. And then while you're waiting in line or when you get back, you can listen to us chat about the literal life and death choice before us (00:33), the strange celebrity political endorsement industrial complex that seems especially present this election cycle (43:23), and then -- because we all need it desperately today -- a supersized dose of Pure Black Joy to help us all get through this anxious day (1:06:00).
But if you don't listen to anything else listen to this: VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! And whatever happens, we'll get through it together. Stay safe and make good choices! We love you, Scorekeepers! Let's do it to it.

Hey hey, Scorekeepers! We're back for another episode of your favorite podcast, THE SCORE! This week, after a little election update, we're gonna try something new. Noah's Arc was the first of its kind: a funny and frank dramedy about four Black gay men living in Los Angeles that ran for two seasons on LogoTV in the mid-2000s. For the next few months, we'll be revisiting this trailblazing show episode by episode, chatting about the friendships, the sex, the romance, the fashions, and what seeing these characters on our screens meant to us then and still means to us today. This week, we'll be covering episodes 1-3 of the first season and it's wild, gay ride! (If you'd like to watch along with us, check out the links below!) Plus, as always, we end with a little PBJ, this week with André 3000, the ladies of The Real Housewives of Potomac, and legendary playwright Dominique Morrisseau. Let's do it to it, y'all!

Don't call it a comeback, dear Scorekeepers! Call it a homecoming! Welcome to the new iteration of your favorite podcast, which we're affectionately calling The Score 2.0. The Minnesota Opera era is over. The Lincoln Center era is over. We're now proudly coming to you as a wholly independent, Black and queer media enterprise, liberated from the shackles of any institutional pressure. What does that mean? It means we're going to keep bringing you the same Black, queer arts and culture commentary you've come to enjoy, but a bit freer and a lot spicier. Plus, we're excited to dip our toes into some completely new topics that we've always wanted to explore. It also means, however, that we need your support more than ever, so if you love The Score and you want it to continue, please tell everyone you can about us, share our content on your socials and, of course, rate, review, and subscribe wherever you're listening. We love you all and thank you a million times for joining us on this new journey!
On this week's inaugural episode of The Score 2.0, we chat about our hopes and fears for next month's election, union-busting at the Dallas Black Dance Theatre, and, of course, we end with a little Pure Black Joy featuring Doechii, the reboot of classic sitcom A Different World, and remembering Frankie Beverly. Let's do it to it, y'all!

Hey hey, Scorekeepers! At long last, it's time for the premiere of our new show with Lincoln Center, ART CLASS! If you loved The Score, you'll absolutely adore ART CLASS! We've kept a lot of the things you've come to know and love about The Score, but we've expanded our scope beyond classical music and we're shining a light on Global Majority artists creating in all sorts of different art forms, like books, film, theater and so much more. We figured we'd drop the first episode here on this feed, but moving forward new episodes will be dropping over on the new ART CLASS feed. So if you're into it, make sure you follow, subscribe and review us over there. And of course, tell all your friends! Thanks so much for all your support!!! <3

What's up, Classmates?! Class is officially in session! Welcome to the first episode of Lincoln Center's new podcast, ART CLASS, a provocative, thoughtful and often humorous podcast all about art and artists creating at the intersection of beauty and innovation. This week, hosts Lee Bynum, Paige Reynolds, and Rocky Jones are joined by author, activist, and multi-disciplinary artist Junauda Petrus, whose novel The Stars and the Blackness Between Them, has appeared on multiple banned books lists in the past few years (0:22:33). We talk art and censorship, other influential, inspirational artists who have also showed up on banned book lists, and how Junauda's West Indian ancestry influences her life and work. Later, we're joined for "Career Day" by Nathan Horowitz, who gives us behind-the-scenes peek at a day in the life of a Hollywood stunt performer (1:03:46). Plus, contributor Emilia Mettenbrink brings us the "Morning Announcements," a list of live and virtual arts offerings that we think you might want to check out (1:00:52). And, as always, we end with a moment of PBJ aka Pure Black Joy, a weekly little snack for your soul that highlights the Black people, culture, and art that are making us happy this week (01:12:03). Let's do it to it, y'all.

It's been way too long, Scorekeepers! Did you miss us? We missed you! How was your summer? How has your fall been? How's your mama and them? Well, we have been hard at work on our next endeavor since we last left you and we are so excited to FINALLY share the details of our new adventure! So... if we may, we'd like to proudly introduce you to... ART CLASS, a brand new podcast from the one and only Lincoln Center Education. Yes, you read that correctly, THE Lincoln Center! ART CLASS will consist of the same news and interviews you've come to expect and love from The Score, but with an expanded scope and a chance for us to spread our wings and try some new ways to showcase art and artistry from our Black, queer perspectives. So hit play and let us tell you all about it!
ART CLASS officially launches everywhere you get fine podcasts on January 16, 2024. However, we'll be soft launching the new show with a live recording this Sunday, October 29 at 4pm at Lincoln Center's David Geffen Hall in New York City. The recording is free and open to the public, so come on by if you're in town. Check out this page for more details. But if you can't make it, don't worry, the live show will be released on ART CLASS' new feed in November. We're still building all that infrastructure, however, so watch this space for all of those links and details.
Thanks so much for all your patience, love and support and we hope you'll be a part of this chapter. We can't wait to keep the party going with all of you wonderful, beautiful Classmates!

Hello, all you wonderful, gorgeous Scorekeepers! It's a momentous and bittersweet day here at THE SCORE HQ. After 2 years, 3 seasons, 58 episodes, a murderers' row of amazing guests and countless engrossing conversations, it's our last episode. BUT! It won't be the last you hear from the three of us, because we haven't been cancelled. Far from it! We can't spill all the details yet, but this fall we'll be embarking on a ridiculously exciting brand new podcasting adventure and we can't wait to share all the details with you! But until then, we are so happy to go out on one of our favorite notes, our 3rd annual Juneteenth panel, moderated by our very own Dr. Lee Bynum! This year, we're talking about the intersection of Blackness and arts education with panelists Queen Herawin (Hip Hop Education Center), John Lucas (Step Into the Light), Curtis Stewart (American Composers Orchestra) and Dacia Washington (Lincoln Center). All that, plus one last PBJ to carry you through the summer! We love you all so much and thank you for your support these last few years. It means more to us than you know. Now... let's do to it!
Oh, and don't unsubscribe from this channel! We'll be back periodically throughout the summer with more details about where to come find us this fall! We can't wait to share this news with you, btw. It's BIG!!!

Hi hi, Scorekeepers! It's time for another episode of your favorite podcast, THE SCORE! This week's episode has been two years in the making and, considering he's married to one of us, I can't believe it's taken all this time to finally nab today's fabulous guest: singer, composer, activist and all-around brilliant and lovely person, Damian Norfleet! Join us as he shares his insightful thoughts and opinions on the state of arts education and what institutions should avoid when commissioning work from Black artists. Plus, we have a chit-chat about the commercialization of Juneteenth and, of course, a little PBJ to help you finish out the week strong! Let's do it to it, y'all!
Oh, and mark your calendars, because next episode is our annual Juneteenth panel. Plus, we'll be making a HUGE announcement about the show! Don't miss it!

Oh my goodness, Scorekeepers, do we have a special episode for you today! Get ready, cuz it's time for the Trans Takeover! It's almost Pride month, and given what's happening in statehouses around the country, this year's vibe is less "love is love" and more "please do something, because queer and trans people are under attack." So we hope this week you'll join us for an important roundtable discussion all about the issues specifically facing our trans and non-binary siblings, moderated by our very own Paige Reynolds, and featuring three incredible non-binary artists and activists of color: friend-of-the-show Frankie Charles, activist and birth worker Nadine Ashby, and opera singer and educator Jeremiah Sanders. It's an insightful and personal look into the opportunities and struggles facing trans people today from the arts to healthcare to housing and so much more. We hope it inspires you to listen and join the fight for liberation! All that, plus a tribute to the dearly departed legend of all legends herself, Tina Turner, and a bit of Pure Black Joy to carry you to the end of this short week! Let's do it to it, y'all!

Greetings, dear Scorekeepers! It's high time for another episode of your favorite podcast, THE SCORE! And this week, we have quite a show for you! First, we'll gingerly dip out toes into a quick discussion of the current political moment. Then we are honored to welcome to the show veteran composer, educator and conductor, William Henry Curry (0:19:00)! Maestro Curry takes us on a journey through his storied career from growing up a poor Black kid with a burning passion for music in 1950s Pittsburgh to performing in some of the most famous concert halls in the world. And while it can be hard to stay optimistic given today's divisive political climate, he talks in depth about what gives him hope for the future of our industry and our country. And, of course, we could possibly leave you without a little PBJ to get your through the rest of the week (0:58:48). Let's do it to it, y'all!
(Oh, and if you're in the Twin Cities and you'd like to see the film Chevalier we mentioned in this week's PBJ or another opera-themed film Il Boemo, you can get a discount through the MSP International Film Festival. Just use the code: MNOPERA42 at purchase!)

All that plus: our Oscars recap (0:09:44), a long overdue dip into RuPaul's Drag Race season 15 (0:03:52), and, of course, a little Pure Black Joy to get you through the rest of the week (1:07:54).

Hey hey, Scorekeepers! Happy Aquarius Season, and welcome to a brand new episode of THE SCORE! In honor of Lee's big move, this week is all about one of our favorite places in the world: the Big Apple herself, New York City! First up, we'll discuss the Metropolitan Opera's very exciting plan to invest $30 million dollars into new opera works and what that could mean for the future of the industry. Next, we're joined by the delightful L. Adé Williams, Musical Conductor and Executive Producer of The Harlem Connection, a weekly radio show which showcases the sounds that have made Harlem a cultural Mecca for decades. Come along for a fascinating and fun chat about what makes Harlem so special, Adé's time seeing the stars shine (or not) during his time at the Apollo Theater, and his time developing Black characters at DC Comics! And, of course, we'd never leave you without a little PBJ at the end. (That's Pure Black Joy for the newbies!) Let's do it to it, y'all!
