26 April 2024 - The Stories That Must Be Told

Today I present an amazing conversation with Lindsay Law. Lindsay retired from a career as an executive producer and President of Fox Searchlight Pictures to become a novelist. Lindsay and I discuss the story of "Boys Don't Cry," why we need more gay people in media, and the magic of Vermont.
