Death, Sex & Money: Sex Parties and Shakespeare With Carvell Wallace

Carvell Wallace’s brilliant new memoir Another Word for Love has
been rightfully praised for its passages about childhood trauma,
about apologies and forgiveness, and about the healing power of
love. But the book also features some important lessons about sex,
consent, and the ways popular culture can send the wrong messages
about both of those things. This week on the show, Carvell digs
into those lessons and the experiences that changed him forever,
including his first encounters with Shakespeare and his trip to an
unforgettable sex party. Podcast production by Cameron Drews.
