Notes On Camp: Finding Success In Passionate Failure

The penultimate episode of Chris Gaines: The Podcast just went out everywhere. In this episode, Ashley and I take a look at the Gaines undertaking from a quasi-academic angle. WTF was this thing and why does it persevere in the hearts and minds of Pop Culture some twenty years later? Spoiler alert: Ashley's insights on tying this together with the 1964 Susan Sontag essay Notes on Camp is nothing short of brilliant. I am extremely thankful to have her as a co-host as I would have never, ever, known to pursue these insights for comparison. It is dead on.

We've got one more episode coming to summarize the whole thing but this is the one to listen to if you're curious about a deeper pontification of the affair.
