After a nearly 3 year long hiatus, the Gettin’ Close podcast is back possibly when the world needs it least. The last episode took place in 2015 with House of Solitude (one of probably many facts I get wrong on this episode). It wasn’t a planned break. I just got busy with other things. Now I’m probably more busy than I’ve ever been, so the timing just doesn’t add up, but here we are.

First up for this new season is Shamus Hunter McCarty who is part of the team bringing the world “Close Your Legs, Honey”. We talk about his life in the arts, Broadway shows, CYLH, and of course, Jason Priestly for a reason I can’t remember now. Details on Close Your Legs, Honey below. Be sure to check it out this month!
