Radio show – Ogi Ogas on Sex and Cyberbullying
Listen to the Podcast recorded on Wednesday, April 17, 2013
10:00-11:00PM (East Coast Time)
Call-in number: (917) 932-1825
Ogi Ogas, PhD
Have you ever been “flamed” by someone who was angered by something you posted on a blog or in a Tweet? Or witnessed a cyber lynch mob go after someone who expressed an unpopular opinion? What about those “trolls” who seem to stalk the Internet, looking for opportunities to lob gratuitous insults at a celebrity? Perhaps you have even thought about closing your social media accounts because the level of vitriol was starting to poison your emotions.
What drives individuals and whole groups of people to act this way? The answers lie in our brains, and neuroscientist Ogi Ogas has undertaken to wrest open that black box. Previously, in his best-selling book, “A Billion Wicked Thoughts,” Ogas delved into what men and women really want, based on the intimate desires disclosed by their Internet searches. In his forthcoming book, “A Billion Angry Thoughts,” Ogas promises to reveal fascinating insights into how human aggression plays out in cyberspace. Among his conclusions: the design of the female social brain is better suited for the Internet than the male brain. “This is driving the first reversal of power in the history of our species,” he says. “Online, women’s aggressive instincts are more effective than men’s instincts.”
“Using our methods of Big Data computational neuroscience that we developed in A Billion Wicked Thoughts, we wanted to try to understand why there was so much hostility online,” Ogas says. “We analyzed millions of people’s online behavior on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Topix, Jezebel, ESPN.com, and other sites. We discovered patterns to people’s expressions of hostility–in particular, clear differences between male and female patterns.”
These differences are rooted in differences in the design of our brain, Ogas hypothesizes. “Men’s aggressive brains are ultimately designed for physical conflict, and men’s strategic instincts are physical–which are completely useless on the Internet,” he observes. “On the other hand, women’s aggressive brains are ultimately designed to be non-physical, non-confrontational, and community-oriented–and their instincts are highly effective in the networked world. Women can learn to tap into their natural abilities to make changes in the world, while men would be advised to unlearn many of their own instincts and learn from women.”
And how do gay men fare in the cyberwars? Listen to our show to find out!
Radio Show – Poet Greg Hewett on his literary coming out
Wednesday, February 27, 2013, 10-11PM ET
Poet Greg Hewett on the air.
In the recently published anthology ”Who’s Yer Daddy?: Gay Writers Celebrate Their Mentors and Forerunners,” our guest, poet Greg Hewett, recounts how his furtive adolescent theft of a library book opened up a literary universe of homosexual experience. In the same collection, Richard Blanco, poet of President Obama’s second inaugural, comes to terms with memories of his intensely homophobic grandmother.
Tonight we’ll discuss mentors and forerunners of today’s gay literati and cultural icons. Hewett also became a father a few years ago, something he had not expected. How has that changed his world? And there will be music, of course, by our favorite artist!
Hewett, an Associate Professor of English at Carleton College, is the author of four books of poetry, most recently darkacre (Coffee House Press 2010). The Minneapolis Post writes: “He takes the long view of life and history, calling in ancient civilizations to make sense of our own, or imagining hidden worlds, the flip side of our own.” He has just completed his fifth book (part memoir, part biog), THE HEAVY, about his gay, Hispanic great uncle, trailblazing Hollywood actor Thomas Gomez. Here’s the website: http://thomasgomezactor.com/
Here’s Hewett’s chapter from “Who’s Yer Daddy.” We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
AURA the Adam Lambert Tribute magazine is coming!
After many painstaking months of gathering, editing and organizing mountains of stories, photographs and images contributed by fans from around the world, the fan-created magazine about Adam Lambert and the impact he has had on fans’ lives is almost out of the oven.

AURA will be richly illustrated and accompanied by compelling essays, heart-felt fan testimonials, beautiful photography, fan art, fun facts and stats, all packaged in an elegant, edgy design. Commentaries on Adam’s music, videos, televised performances, concerts and advocacy for Equality will be showcased along with personal narratives and poetry reflecting the myriad ways in which he has profoundly changed lives, hearts, and minds. AURA will include special essays written exclusively for us by some of Adam’s close friends and collaborators.
Sales of AURA will raise funding for Cyndi Lauper’s Forty to None Project, a cause Adam supports. Forty to None is raising awareness about the epidemic of homelessness among LGBTQ youth and is helping these young people who have been rejected by their own families to find safe havens and a better future.

TWO MILLION!!
Examiner - Adam Lambert reaches Twitter milestone, exceeds two million followers “Adam had a huge boost in followers after last week’s American Idol segment showing what he has been up to for the past few years. Additionally, he was honored with two awards last weekend at the GLAAD Media Awards, which made headlines, probably prompting more follows from the LGBT community. One reason he doesn’t lose many followers is because he remains active on Twitter, sharing his favorite new music finds, and updating fans of his whereabouts and opinions.”

Baltimore Sun - ’American Idol,’ can Twitter popularity predict the winner? “But what’s the Idol crown worth these days compared to the national exposure? Take Chris Daughtry and Adam Lambert. They’re weren’t the ones showered in confetti on the show’s stage, but they catapulted into superstardom. Angie will surely meet a similar fate.” Read more…

Tonight, we are re-broadcasting one of listeners’ all-time favorite episodes of our show, our interview with Michael Sarver, from American Idol’s Season 8. We’ll hear about his experiences on the show, his friendship with Adam and what the music he’s working on today. He speaks with great eloquence and passion about the transformative change in his life, which he attributes to Adam’s influence. And we asked for, and got, some entertaining stories about life behind the scenes and on the American Idol tour bus.
Chatroom will be open, so BYOB and join other fans for a rowdy good time.
