While many talk about how the Trump administration is exhibiting “fascist-like” tendencies, defining fascism for the modern world is much more complicated and requires nuance. Foreign correspondent and author Geoffrey Cain writes about “The Failure to Define Fascism Today” in The New Republic. He joins me on the show today to talk all about it.
The LGBTQ history in New York City often focuses on Manhattan’s Stonewall Riot, but a new book seeks to expand that view to the neighboring borough in When Brooklyn Was Queer: A History. Historian, writer and curator Hugh Ryan shares never-before-told story of Brooklyn’s vibrant and forgotten queer history, from the mid-1850s up to the present day. He visits from Brooklyn today to talk all about it.

Mark returns to the show today to talk all about these issues and so much more.
