#572 Best Of - Dave Holmes31 Dec 202101:40:02

This episode with @DaveHolmes was voted a listener favorite in 2012. Some people know Dave from MTV's Wanna Be a VJ contest, where he was runner-up, his podcast Homophilia or his work in Esquire, but few know his calm exterior often masks panic and anxiety. He and Paul bond over being raised Irish Catholic, hosting interstitial t.v. shows and other similarities. Dave talks about the minefield of coming out to a family with mixed views on gays, his oddly easy time with it in high school and difficult time in college. Paul reads survey responses related to the LGBT community, highlighting where America is at in seeing them as equals and how it makes them feel.

More About Dave: Editor-at-Large, Esquire. Author, Party of One. Co-host of the podcast Homophilia. Host, Troubled Waters. WAITING FOR IMPACT available NOW!
