Hi, this is Hell. It's producer Alex. It's another listener favorite from 2021.

Chuck is back at it starting Monday, January 3rd.

But today, we are revisiting an October conversation

with writer Adam Smith on Poppers and Queer Utopia.

Big thanks to Jeff, Brayden, and David G for suggesting this one.

All right, stay safe.

See on the radio next week.

Live from Lake Capitalism where we know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

This is hell.

Poppers are likely not something you have thought about recently.

That is, unless you are a user, and there's a lot more users of Amal Nitrate

than you may think.

But there's something more to Poppers than a quick 45 second rush as our guest today argues

Poppers may be a key element in the search for a queer utopia that eliminates all

the categories that are imposed upon us from hetero to gay and man to woman

and everything between and outside of those categories. Here to act as our guide

through the world and history of Poppers writer Adam Smith is author of Deep sniff a history of

Poppers and Queer Futures. Welcome to This Is Hell Adam.

Hi Chuck, you're all right.

I'm doing great today.

This is a very, very interesting book, man.

I'm very fascinated by this.
