Shownotes Transcript

This week it's time to talk about love...

Now, I know what you're thinking.

Who am I to talk about love when all I seem to be interested in are firey, passionate, fleeting moments on a dancefloor?

Well, yeah, you've probably got a point there.... So, it's a good job that this is a conversation podcast and I have a guest to show me the way!

And who is that guest?

Why it is the author Neil Laird, who is currently promoting his new book 'Prime Time Travelers: a satirical MM Adventure', to tell us all about when he met his husband at the long-gone Caribou Coffee Shop in Chicago's gay village (often referred to as Boystown).

And you'll be pleased to hear that I demonstrate a smidgen of growth here, asking questions and trying to understand this love phenomenon and what it all means...

(baby steps! I'm getting there!)
