Hi all. It's been a while. I've missed you. The show is new. Things are different. There's a co-host now (s/o Roxy, she's great). There won't be guests until there are again. We'll be discussing City of Night by John Rechy next week, alongside, likely, at least: Esther Newton's Mother Camp, Jules Gill-Peterson's A Short History of Transmisogyny.
