Queer Eye for that Gray Guy - with Fred Andersson

Swedish paranormal TV producer Fred provides us a queer eye to the writings of Gray Barker! Yes, the myth-maker, the charlatan, the trickster, and one of the staple names of old school ufology! 

But what many do not know is that Barker, throughout his whole life, hid a fabulously colorful secret! One which at the time he could only express via a creative outlet: UFO poetry. 

Fred and I, through the example of Barker's book "They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers", discuss UFO literature as an art form, the significance of creative writing in personal expression, and the role of high strangeness in providing solace to the LGBT community. ️‍🌈
