Please join us dear listeners as we embark on a multipart musical biography with Dr Lawrence Mass. An addiction medicine specialist, gay rights activist (co-founder of the Gay Men's Health Crisis) and longtime Wagnerite, Dr. Mass is completing his trilogy of books on the perils and pleasures of Wagnerism. We listen and discuss the works that have shaped his life as an enraptured and conflicted listener, all the while weaving in tales of the destinies and challenges of Gay life and Jewish life in the shadow of Nazism after World War Two. Throughout Dr Mass brings to bear his insightful and singular lens of addiction medicine to understanding patterns and habits of listening.
