The Sewers of Paris: The Moment I Saw the Hair on Ed Asner's Arms (Ep. 258 - The Smiths/David Schmader)
🕑 Added 2019-10-31 17:04:14 +0000 UTCMy guest this week has spent his life traveling the country to bear his soul, and now he’s settled down in the last place he ever expected — the town where he grew up. David Schmader is a writer and performer who wrote for The Stranger in Seattle by day, and who turned his articles into dramatic theatrical performances by night. He’s also the country’s foremost expert on Showgirls, and appears on the commentary track on the official DVD. These days he’s doing more writing than ever, and rediscovering the gay scene in a town that he left before he could fully appreciate it.
