SUMMARY:Book Talk: There's Only One Sin in Hollywood w/ Rasheed Newson
DESCRIPTION:Book Talk: There’s Only One Sin in Hollywood w/ Rasheed Newson \nJoin us as we welcome TV writer\, producer\, and novelist Rasheed Newson in celebration of his newest novel\, There’s Only One Sin in Hollywood! \n\n\n\n\nOn Thursday\, June 11\, we’ll be welcoming Rasheed Newson for a discussion of his newest novel\, There’s Only One Sin in Hollywood\, a sharp-witted and cinematic novel following a backlot fixer’s investigation into the suspicious death of a closeted Black actor\, set against the backdrop of glamorous Hollywood. Rasheed will be joined in conversation with Michael LaBorn\, founder of Left Unread Books. Q&A and book signing will follow discussion. \nAbout the Book \n“Deliciously witty… There’s Only One Sin in Hollywood is a quintessential Hollywood novel and an LA classic for our times.” —Laura Warrell\, author of Sweet\, Soft\, Plenty\, Rhythm \nXavier C. Barlow\, one of Hollywood’s young Black stars taking the industry by storm in the late 1950s\, is Skyline Studios’s ambitious attempt to rival Sidney Poitier. His arrival into the industry is calculated\, his charm is magnetic\, and his seductive screen presence appeals to both audiences and celebrities across generations. \nBut years later\, after Xavier dies at the height of his fame\, Aaron Touissant—Skyline’s designated backlot fixer who helps the studio’s stars stay as deep in the closet as humanly possible—is finally ready to expose the powerful culprits responsible for his untimely death. \nWritten from Aaron’s panoramic lens\, There’s Only One Sin in Hollywood is a searing portrait of the movie industry as a manicured minefield and a compelling journey into the queer history of Los Angeles. \nRasheed Newson is the author of the national bestseller My Government Means to Kill Me\, which was selected as a Lambda Literary finalist for Gay Fiction and was named one of the “100 Notable Books of 2022” by The New York Times. He is also a television drama writer\, producer\, and showrunner. He codeveloped Bel-Air and worked on The Chi\, Animal Kingdom\, and Narcos\, among other drama series. Newson is a 2025–26 American Library in Paris Visiting Fellow. He currently lives with his husband and their two children in Pasadena. \nMichael LaBorn is the founder of Left Unread Books\, an imprint under Bindery Books\, where he advocates to disrupt the publishing industry on behalf of authors of color in search of somewhere for their voices to be heard. Additionally\, he is a bookish influencer who uses his platform to advocate for authors in the margins and to challenge systemic barriers in the industry.

SUMMARY:Selector Saturdays - Miyagi Records
DESCRIPTION:Selector Saturdays – Miyagi Records \nSelector Saturdays is where we hand the turntables to a guest selector and let them stretch out — no requests\, no pressure\, no play the hits. In clubs and bars you usually get a version of a DJ built for the room. Here\, you get the full range: the records they collect\, study\, and truly love. This program often features Miyagi Education grads stepping into the booth\, sharing what they’ve been building\, and going deep in their own voice — alongside seasoned local DJs and community partners. It’s a space for selectors to tell a story\, and a space for listeners to slow down and take it in.
