In this episode:
Sparked by a weekend watching High School Musical, Dan Freeman examines Disney’s long history of hiding queer characters in plain sight. From camp-coded villains to characters who never quite get to say they’re gay, he explores why so many remain in the closet and what happens when they don’t.
Featuring:
- Dan Freeman – Westminster Radio student
- Jamie Wareham – Journalist and broadcaster
