Hi 👋 I’m Samantha Paige (she/they). It’s a pleasure to meet you ☺️

I’m the host of “Another Dry Run,” a podcast about politics, history, philosophy, culture, and the occasionally spectacular absurdity of being human.

I’m a writer, radio host, former trial attorney, activist, educator, and unapologetic nerd who has spent a ridiculous amount of my life asking why? Then, unfortunately for everyone involved, asking follow-up questions 😂

“Another Dry Run” is where those questions go.

Some episodes are serious. Some are funny. Some wander through transgender history, politics, movies, philosophy, and whatever strange cultural rabbit hole caught my attention that week.

Sometimes I bring fascinating people along for the ride ☺️

The goal isn’t to tell you what to think. It’s to give you something interesting to think about.

Because this life is not a read-through.

Welcome to “Another Dry Run” 🎙️☺️💕

In this episode we talk about how ballroom houses formed tight-knit families, how “Paris Is Burning” documented that world, and how Madonna’s “Vogue” borrowed from it. Jennie Livingston, a Yale-educated director, captured the scene, and while there’s admiration, there’s also critique about power dynamics. The ballroom scene still thrives today.
