A podcast miniseries about the 1973 Up Stairs Lounge arson, exploring its lesser known history and present-day themes.
Over the course of the series, we'll be joined by notable members of the queer community to discuss the story of the Up Stairs Lounge; its role in the larger arc of queer history, and themes that are just as relevant to the queer community of today as they were fifty years ago.
Guests include: Drag superstar Ben DeLaCreme, Author Robert Fieseler, HRC's Cathryn Oakley, Political Adviser Brian Derrick, Journalist Clancy Dubos, and Up Stairs Lounge Survivor Ricky Everett.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
