27 October 2023 - Art as a Method of Identity

Today I talk to Tucker Lieberman, an excellent author and philosopher whose transgender journey took place in part through his creativity.  Tucker and I discuss important artistic media, how we find ourselves in fictional characters, and give a nod to Wes Craven.
