Episode 13: What Killed Keith Haring?
February 6th, 2009
In this week’s podcast, the first full podcast with Celia Farber as co-host, we interview longstanding activist, cultural critic, and incidental AIDS historian Jim Fouratt who reveals the shocking truth about what really killed artist Keith Haring. Was it AIDS?
We also talk to Mr. Fouratt about how and why early AIDS activism morphed into pharmaceutical and scientific fascism– and how the early values of the Gay Liberation movement–chiefly freedom of speech and the freedom to be different–were destroyed in the process.

Perhaps the link to this one should be:

instead of hpay 12.
Also, I hope you’re aware that there is no mp3 file to listen to yet. At least I don’t see/hear anything in my browser for this episode.
David, thank you again for this great work. And especially to Celia many thanks for embracing Christines part. I’m on the rack for future episodes.

Welcome on board Celia! What a treat to have you here. I’m confident that you’ll only ever ‘do’ our most beloved Christine proud & at the same time, truly believe that she’ll never miss a single podcast.
THANKS Jim for your awesome ‘delivery’ & sharing of such interesting historical & crucial facts.
Love & LIGHT,
Durban / South Africa

It’s very inspiring that both David and Celia are pursuing this show and allowing it to continue on. It is indeed what Christine would have wanted, there is no doubt.
Here’s to peaceful activism and focused perseverance.
Wonderful conversation! Keith Harings work was so energetic, full of vitality and so generous and unconditional in his love for life. It beggars belief how deep the denial is in gay communities. Its a thorn in my mind. Well it doesnt beggar belief actually, I’ve seen it here in Dublin, i saw it in the eyes of one of our ‘gay leaders’, I knew he understood! and others too. It’s jus too frightening for them to cross that barrier for so many reasons. It use to enrage me, God bless them.
