Episode 27 with Jai Rodriguez - OG Queer Eye Culture Guy, Actor, Musical Theatre Superstar, Activist

We celebrate New Years Day by launching our 1st episode of 2021 with no other than the OG Queer Eye Culture Expert and Actor, Jai Rodriguez! Jai was a delight to share our time with as we dove deep and Jewcy into his background in television, film and Broadway. He was also very open about being of colour working in the "Biz" in an age where this quality was not fairly represented or recognized. Within Queer culture itself the progression has rapidly evolved over the last 20 years in mainstream inclusivity and diversity for all walks of life.
We also debunk the processes of pre and post production for Queer Eye on Bravo and Jai talks about how he started his musical theatre career with RENT in NYC and in Canada. He gets candid about his story growing up, through the decades of his life and to current Covid times. Jai's had many plot twists thrown his way. He now has his very own platform and budding community, Jai's World!
This episode is full of raw dialog, which we're so thankful to have had with Jai. For someone that gets put on a pedestal in his industry, you'll get to learn about who the real Jai is. We continue to pull the mask off of "celebrity"... one human at a time.
**Sound is kinda wonky with Jai until about 23:40... Keep listening! It gets really good!**
