In this episode, I talk history with Neil Laird. Neil is an Emmy and BAFTA-nominated TV producer, novelist, and ancient history geek whose fiction retells gay stories across early human civilizations. We discuss such diverse topics as The Tomb of the Brothers, the Myth of Stonewall, and Toxic Avenger 3 or 4 - whichever was worse.
