Episode 6: Killing All the Right People Moments in Madness

This week we are back with a bang with a near 2 HOUR episode--featuring Adam Norton The Spaceman Lawyer me to discuss the Designing Women episode: Killing All the Right People--the AIDS epidemic,  COVID and how governmental negligence always impacts the LGBTIQ+ community greater. We also debate whether anyone has ever had their mind changed by a television program before---and much, much, much MORE.
