Sewers of Paris: Climbing a Mountain Every Day (Ep 395 - Stephen/Ballet)
Added 2022-07-28 16:01:04 +0000 UTCLast week I spoke with Bret Shuford, one half of the couple known as the Broadway Husbands. This week Iβm talking to his husband, Stephen Hanna, about leaving home to pursue a ballet career and discovering just how physically grueling that world could be β not to mention surprisingly hostile to sensitive young guys like him. The work took a heavy toll, and for a time Stephen found himself going down a dark path β¦ until he found a way to change course and find the life heβd been looking for.
Also, a quick reminder that Iβve got a weekly-ish newsletter that you can subscribe to at mattbaume.com. Iβll be sharing details there about my upcoming book about the history of gay characters on sitcoms. And Iβve got a YouTube channel where I post videos about film and TV history β Iβve got one this coming Sunday about Seinfeldβs βnot that thereβs anything wrong with thatβ episode β thatβs at youtube.com/mattbaume.
Also, big thanks to everyone who supports The Sewers of Paris on Patreon! Patrons get hours of exclusive videos about super queer pop culture history, stickers and stuff in the mail, and shoutouts in the credits of YouTube videos.
