- 11 - Introducing: popular
Host William Keiser (1/2 half of this podcast) takes listeners on a roller-coaster ride through the iconic bars, circuit parties, gayborhoods, and queer kickball leagues of the District of Columbia to answer this question: is there an unspoken hierarchy in the LGBTQ community, and, if so, who gets to be on top? With special guests like Andrew Holleran, author of seminal novel of pre-AIDS gay New York Dancer from the Dance, and Reverend Brandan Robertson, one of the United States’ leading queer, progressive Christian ministers, Popular is a romp through the most powerful city on Earth as you’ve never seen (heard) it before.
