Austin Wong is a lifelong pop

culture junkie. His mom once lamented how much knowledge he could have in hishead if he stopped filling up his brain with song lyrics and movie trivia. Nowthat he works as an entertainment lawyer, and as a producer, writer anddirector, those skills are now coming in handy. He’s married with a baby girl,but it doesn’t stop him from going to every diva concert that blows throughtown. He can’t wait until his daughter is old enough to join him—unless sheturns out to be into metal, in which case he’ll try to send his husband.

Austin and Michael discuss gay conversion therapy, being friends with football

jocks and art nerds at the same time, the career trajectories of Gaga andMadonna, falling in love, and dancing until you hurt yourself.
