Show Notes
in this episode, Dennis connects via Skype with Dave Quantic, creator and host of the new podcast Fruitbowl, an Oral History of Queer Sex. He talks about where the idea came from, the queer humor and self-compassion he discovers in his subjects and the questions he asks in his interviews, like 'What's your best move in the bedroom?' and 'What's the most embarrassing thing that's happened to you during sex?' He also talks about living in Seattle vs. Los Angeles, the award-winning movie that led to the podcast, the interviews that move him, being called a sissy as a kid and getting called out at school for wearing the same jeans as a girl in his class. Other topics include: the swagger of Erik Estrada, going to a boarding school in Austria, why he's frustrated with Facebook, the horrible roommates who never bought toilet paper and that time he embarrassed himself in front of Tobey Maguire at the Virgin Megastore.
