I Want to Smear Chocolate on my Body (Ep 322 - The Smiths/Timothy Siragusa)

My guest this week is Timothy Siragusa, who was very popular with about 30 lesbians in Omaha. He was part of an experimental theater scene in a small city that was at first a little, let’s say, challenging for mainstream audiences to appreciate … until one night he had a brainstorm that transformed their struggling avante garde troupe into a huge local hit. We’ll have that conversation in a minute. First a quick thanks to everyone who supports the Sewers of Paris on Patreon. And just a reminder that I’ve got a cute weekly newsletter for all the stuff I’m working on. You can sign up at mattbaume.com for sneak peeks into upcoming projects, little bits of weird fun cultural artifacts I’ve uncovered, my comic book reviews, and of course links to cute animal videos. And I hope you’ll join me for regular videogame livestreams over at Twitch.tv/mattbaume every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoon at 2pm pacific. I FINALLY have emotes on my channel, it only took me two months. And of course I also host livestreams on YouTube every other Saturday — we dig through old news archives looking for queer gems. That’s at youtube.com/mattbaume.
