S03 E06 – Hillbilly Queer

Listen

The United States is the most divided it has been since the Civil War, yet there are everyday people who are still willing to work together to find a path forward.

Join J.R. Jamison and Kelsey Timmerman as they explore identity and family and discuss J.R.’s forthcoming father-son memoir, Hillbilly Queer—a gripping tale of two men who see the world differently, one a gay liberal highbrow and the other a working-class Trump supporter, and their travels together to rural Missouri at the height of the 2016 election to uncover truths about their family’s past.
