This week Taryn and Adam dive into the Reader archives searching for queer coverage, attempt to decipher classified ads of years past, and learn more about Chicago’s leather scene.
Have a question for Adam and Taryn? Want to share your queer pick of the week? E-mail cqn@chicagoreader.com or tweet @chicagoqueernow to hear your question answered on the pod!
Stay queer, Chicago!
