Summary
Author Con Chapman joins Zach to discuss his upcoming book Queer Street, exploring the surprising and deeply intertwined history of boxing rules and the regulation of consensual sex between men. From ancient Greek gymnasiums to Oscar Wilde and the Marquess of Queensbury, from the Sacred Band of Thebes to the origins of the words "gay" and "queer" — this conversation goes places you won't expect.
