TSOTAL - Episode 10: Double Lives

This is the first episode that I would say is important. Important in that it it sheds the normal sheep’s skin of ebullient life-affirming stories and displays the disturbing wolfen assault of journalism in it’s purest form. Ira opens the episode with an author whose father lived a double life, a devout religous family man who would often slip away surreptitiously from his family to have sex with men; an interview with a man who is “out” to his wife, but hides his sex with men from his children; and the story of a family whose father contracted HIV from his secret gay sex life, gave it to his wife and AIDS killed them both. Like a true journalist the subjects of Ira’s stories are allowed to express their emotion and bias while Ira does his job properly — setting himself apart from judgment.

I would say everyone should listen to this episode. The content may disturb you but it will create for you a moment to ponder and hopefully expand you grasp on the world.
