Cult & Culture Podcast Episode 61 feat. Chuck Tingle

About this episode

In this episode, Justin Pearson and Luke Henshaw discuss a variety of topics with Chuck Tingle, focusing on his unique approach to writing and the underlying themes of love and community.

In Episode 61 Justin Pearson and Luke Henshaw get into a slew of wild topics with Chuck Tingle, an amazing writer of modern "niche" gay erotica. But strap yourself in, pun intended, because Chuck's writing often ropes in dinosaurs, unicorns, sasquatches, and lands in the realm of horror and science fiction. However, there is an abundance of depth with Chuck and the hosts, since more often than not, these conversations often circle back to the larger umbrella of punk ethics. Most of the conversation, which focuses on various topics such as performance art, politics, genetics, creating community, everything in between which seems to circle back to Chuck's notable and righteous slogan, which is always on his masked face, Love is real.
