Show Notes
Part two of Michael Callen's story. In 1982, Michael Callen and Richard Berkowitz are eviscerated by New York City's gay community after they publish an article advocating for the end of promiscuity. The pair of writers don't give up, though, and what they do next saves many lives and forever changes the way we have sex.

Dane has a new podcast! It's funny, campy, gay... and stupid? It's called The Blank List, and in each episode, Dane and his co-hosts, Tranna Wintour and Adam Capriolo, take on the very serious work of creating the definitive Top 5 list for a given category, with categories ranging from “The Most Famous People Alive” to “The Craziest Thing That Has Ever Happened.”
As Nova Scotia faces a forest fire that's raging out of control, Dane sits down for a conversation with his parents. And Peter and Neoma search for meaning across generations.
A few months before Margaret died, Dane sat down with her for an interview. But, Margaret proved to be a more challenging interview subject than expected. This is Margaret's story.
