As a casting director it's my job to make sure that we have incredible characters that not only have what I always call like the X and the Y axis.

They have the talent, they have the personality, but they have that Z axis, they have the depth they have a story we want to find people

that audiences are going to fall in love with.

Welcome back to working I'm your host Isaac Butler and I'm your host, Isaac Butler.

And I'm your other host, June Thomas.

And June, whose bright sunny, friendly voice was that that we heard at the top of the show?

Isaac, that was Logan Clark who is a casting director for reality TV shows.

Incredible.

So why did you want to speak with Logan specifically?

Well, I don't watch a lot of reality TV to Sevelis, but when I watch I watch hard.

And Logan did the casting on a show that I absolutely loved.

That show was called Legendary and it ran for three seasons

and was a reality competition set in the world of ball culture as in the world of houses and vogging the

ball culture shown in the movie Paris is burning rather than the kind of ballroom

dancing you see on dancing with stars. That show was

outrageously entertaining but it also felt very important in the way it gave

representation to a part of queer culture that is not very visible to say the least and is often thought of as

belonging to another generation far in the past.

Well I'm going to restrain myself from shouting butch queens over and over and over again into the microphone in honor of Paris is burning and ball culture and instead just ask what do our slate Plus listeners have waiting for them?

Well, I will also resist noting that I am giving School Boy Realness, which one time on the

street somebody actually said to me, are you giving school bar realness?

And I was like, oh my God, I have never been more seen.
