on this weeks episode -I actually sit down on the ugly couch for the first of a two part podcast , being interviewed by local artist/author/musician Kyle Kirkland who dives into my childhood to try and figure out what ingredients were used to make this delicious stew callled shelley novak ! we talk 70's TV and film and what it was like growing up gay in a small new england town - so sit back and enjoy what id like to call "our first date" and get ready for part two which will be all about south beach in the 90's ( my ass and my nose hurt just thinking about it )
