Drunk, Glamorous and Full of Stories with Maria Van Cartier EP 791
from Talk About Gay Sex TAGSPODCAST · host Stephen V.Rodriguez
In this episode: Maria Van Cartier brings the glamour, humor, and unforgettable stories. The importance of documenting and preserving queer history. How New York City nightlife creates community and chosen family. Making space for the stories of Black and Brown queer people. What it means to live—and age—openly and unapologetically. Maria shares the inspiration behind her podcast, Remember the Time. Steve V discusses his current Substack post, “When Gay Men Started Looking at Me.” Steve reacts to the latest alarming AI story and asks whether the people developing artificial intelligence know something the rest of us don’t. How the new warning connects to this year’s documentary, The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist. Plus, plenty of laughter, cocktails, and wonderfully unfiltered conversation. It’s funny, heartfelt, occasionally messy, and unmistakably Maria Van Cartier.
