DetoxPod 202: Rodney McCoy AKA Daddy Rod Returns!
Description
I’m so happy to welcome Rodney McCoy AKA Daddy Rod back to the podcast for a second chat. Our conversation is wide-ranging, intimate, and expands upon several topics that we touching on in our initial conversation, including themes of Black masculinity, sexuality, gentrification and nostalgia, HIV and STI stigma, and aging in the queer community. What does it mean to accept vulnerability and “softness” in a social environment that expects “hardness” out of men (especially Black men)? How did growing up in New York City toughen us up? What does it mean for Rodney to deem himself a “Daddy”? How do desires change over time, or do we come into a better realization of what we want from our relationships over time? Heavy questions, but me and Rod converse with a lot of curiosity, warmth and levity. I hope you enjoy this episode!
