Part 2: Beefcake Dysmorphia

Ashe and I are back to discuss the Stonewall Riots (but briefly), the muscle magazines of the 1950s and 60s, Hal Fisher in the 1970s, how HIV/AIDS transformed physical culture in the 80s, Hulk Hogan, monkey pox, and steroid use. Beefcake Dysmorphia is a multi-episode series on body dysmorphia disorder in the gay community. I'm grateful to my lifelong friend Ashe for sitting down with me to discuss camp, queerness, the resiliency and reach of the gay community, and for putting up with my bullshit.
