Summary
For most folks it’s been a little over a week of self isolation to ward off the coronavirus pandemic. Marooned in our own places like the Swiss Family Robinson, we have to make the best of what we got, and it sometimes feels like things may never get back to that dirty word “normal.”
Today queer media pioneer Jack Ryan joins us to chat about his adventures in Chicago’s club scene in the 70s and 80s before the AIDS crisis hit hard.
Listen as Jack talks about the wild nights of drugs and disco that transformed over the years into more nights of even drugs and House music, what kind of changes can we expect in the aftermath of coronavirus and will we ever wear pants again?
Plus--
➤ How long will your toilet paper supply last? Don’t worry, the Germans will tell you.
➤ Madonna deletes naked bathtub “We are all the same” video.
➤ A wild puma is caught in the capital city of Santiago, Chile.
➤ Farewell to our dear friend and family Terrence McNally, multiple Tony-Award winning playwright died from complications from coronavirus, he was 81.
