Dr. Andrew Lear, who holds a Ph.D. in Classics from UCLA, enters the ITBR to discuss his work on male-male love in ancient Greek society. First, he explores the state of Classics departments in American universities and why ancient Greek culture/history is such a captivating subject to both students and the public. Then, he digs into the historical record of ancient Greek sexual relations between men and how this system of ancient Greek pederastia inspired future queer men, like Oscar Wilde. Dr. Lear then discusses his company "Oscar Wilde Tours" which features lectures and tours on sexuality in the ancient world!

Hey, true crime friends! This week we’re getting into Part 2 of the Patty Hearst series. We will be breaking down the mental consequences of Hearst’s kidnapping and the financial lengths her family went through to get her back-that failed (I forgot to equate to today's money so please forgive me. $2 million = $11,342,342.01; $6 million = $34,091,933.09).  

In the News Update- Danilo Cavalvante is apprehended…again and a religious cult takes the life of a Korean woman.

It's been 22 years since September 11th, and today Rachel Uchitel joins us to remember and reflect on the love of her life, Andy O'Grady who died in the attacks. She opens up about her last conversation with Andy and why it's so important for her to continue to tell Andy's story. So many reached out to Rachel after seeing her crying face on the front page news holding a photo of Andy. She explains that at the beginning of a tragedy you're surrounded by lots of support but after about a year, life moves on for those around you, but you're still left processing the trauma of the event.

In 2009, Rachel would again become front page news as one of Tiger Woods' mistresses, but instead of sympathizing with her, the court of public opinion villainized and even ostracized her. Rachel reveals how she dealt with the public's scrutiny of her and how she reclaimed her voice and her narrative. This is how her new podcast, "Miss Understood" was born since she is on a mission to amplify those whose stories have been reduced to a single headline! You may think you know Rachel Uchitel, but in this interview, she opens up about how the death of both Andy and her father psychologically impacted her and how she is still working her way through the pain. We hope that Rachel's story resonates with those of you who're processing loss, trauma, and finding your voice.

Welcome to a very special unfiltered conversation with Dr. Andrew Rimby! Andrew is ready to recap ITBR's empowering steamy summer episodes so get your pen and paper ready to take notes. Andrew reveals how interviewing guests who work on gender, sexuality, and/or erotic studies helped him become more authentic and unapologetically gay this summer, especially as he finished quite a homoerotic dissertation! He opens up about wanting to start dating again, whether he could be in an open relationship, and how straight friends of his are even questioning if they could be in a throuple. He addresses friend of the show Taylor Ferber and does a quick lesson on the debates within queer theory (a topic she covered on her show). Spoiler alert...this episode was apparently too steamy for our TikTok Live that Andrew got kicked out...oh and Andrew is just getting started since Part 2 continues on our Patreon! Andrew is about to talk about going back to the clothing optional Belvedere hotel on Fire Island...yes and the men he encountered there :)

Listen to our summer episodes that Andrew mentions (including Zachary Zane, Jack Parlett, Tom Crewe, True Crime in Academia with Christian Garcia, Dr. Jason Holt, Dr. Thomas Waugh, Dr. Tim Dean, Joseph Federico, and Stuart Barnes) on Apple or Spotify!

During my first semester at Kean University, in 2014, I met Dr. John Cullen Gruesser who quickly became one of my academic undergraduate mentors. To have him on the ITBR podcast means so much to me, and he has taught and continues to teach me so much about why I fell in love with literary studies and studying the Humanities. John (don't worry he said I can call him that) addresses the current crisis of where the Humanities fits into the university system. He calls it "Academia in Freefall." I ask him whether he believes academic freedom is going strongly or is under attack? What has happened to tenure positions, why are professors being fired for teaching controversial topics, and how can you still be passionate about your academic work right now? And why would someone, like myself, get a PhD in English when I knew full well that there most likely wouldn't be a university position waiting for me on the other side? We hope that this conversation speaks to those of you out there who are professors, students, or are thinking about entering into graduate programs. If you don't know a lot about the academic system, we pull back the curtain on what's going on inside the Ivory Tower!
