She was the first openly-gay comic ever to appear on American television, and now she plays Big Boo on the Netflix hit, Orange Is the New Black. Triple threat Lea DeLaria joins us this week to talk about her multi-faceted career (did you know she's released six jazz albums?), how OITNB proved that viewers were hungry for diverse and complex female characters, and what it's like being an out & proud butch lesbian in the entertainment industry.
Saturday night at 10 on 89.3 WFPL, or WFPL.org.
