  • Summary

  • 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 anti-oppressive 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.

    Gender Fugitives (Noah's Arc: S2, Eps 1-3)
    Jan 28 2025

    G'day, lovely Scorekeepers! And welcome to another episode of your favorite podcast, THE SCORE! It's been quite a year so far to say the least, so up top we take stock of the first week of Trump II. Spoiler alert: It's not great. But then things get happy, because we're on to season 2 of Noah's Arc (0:12:39) and things are getting juicy, y'all! Come along with us as we take a trip back to 2006 with more shambolic exes, secret lesbians and questionable childcare decisions than you can shake a stick at! And finally, as always, a bit of Pure Black Joy (1:05:39) to get you to the end of the week. (Please send Rocky your condolences about the Washington Commanders.). Let's do it to it, y'all!

    Hosts: Lee Bynum, Rocky Jones, Paige Reynolds

  • Emilia Pérez and Representation Frustration

    Emilia Pérez and Representation Frustration
    Jan 14 2025

    Happy new year, Scorekeepers! It's the first episode of 2025 and have we got spicy one for you today. First, there's a new season of RuPaul's Drag Race upon us, so you know we have to have a chat about these new girls (and drag Katy Perry)! Then, Rocky recently tried dipping his toe into the fiction pond with presumptive Oscar contender Emilia Pérez and... it didn't go well. It got us thinking that, of course, representation of minoritized groups in art is important, but what happens when the things being represented are tired stereotypes and problematic tropes? Who or what does that serve? And then, as always, we end with a little PBJ for your soul to snack on. Let's do it to it!

    Therapists for Everyone! (Noah's Arc: S1, Eps. 7-9)

    Habari Gani, Scorekeepers! And Happy New Year's Eve! We hope you've all had a wonderful holiday season and we are so excited to be back with our recap of the last three episodes of season 1 of Noah's Arc (0:17:30). We're very happy to report that it gets juicy and very, very messy and y'all know we love some mess! But before we get into that, we break down the queen's Christmas Day gift to us all, the Beyoncé Bowl, and make some resolutions for 2025 (0:04:14). And then of course, we couldn't end the show without one last Pure Black Joy for 2024 (1:14:36). Let's do it to it, y'all and we can't wait to see you in 2025!
