This week we talk with the king of pop culture, Ira Madison III!

Ira humors me as I fangirl over some of the insanely cool projects he works on, including his hit podcast, Keep It; his first ever Marvel comic that he wrote; and his time working on one of my all-time favorite tv shows, Q-Force (RIP).

Ira tells us about some of the his formative coming-of-age queer pop culture, his thoughts between queer life in LA vs NYC, and how his coming out was not necessarily on his own terms.  Ira and I also bond over one of my favorite midwestern past times, which is, of course, not sharing complex feelings with family members!

I loved getting to catch up with Ira and I think you'll enjoy this chat, too. Enjoy!
