227: Sex and the City Meets an Effeminate Heterosexual

“Evolution” (August 19, 1999)

If you came of age in the late 90s or early 2000s, you live in a world informed by Sex and the City — whether you realize it or not. It’s probably one of the most influential TV shows to air during our lifetimes, and so it’s more than time that we look at one of its many LGBTQ-themed episodes. Joining us to discuss Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte is returning guest Gwynedd Stuart, who has big feelings about why this show matters.

Listen to Gwynedd’s previous episode about Soap.

Most of Drew’s background on how SATC ended up at HBO comes from this Vulture article. And here is the 1991 New York Times article about Woody Allen and Mia Farrow waving at each other from across Central Park.

Listen to Drew discussing Bowser, King of the Koopa, on the Retronauts podcast.
