PS081 - Remembering Our Histories with Rick Storer

From the bathhouses of Chicago to the social media of today, join as Lee interviews Rick Storer, Executive Director of the Leather Archives and Museum. Together they explore the shifting language of sexuality, listening to oral histories, the academics of kink… and his fetish for the Dewey Decimal system. As we unpack boxes of memorabilia and the world of leather and alt sex back to the 1920s, he reminds everyone that their stories matter, and that leather is more than a material.
