Dr Tiger Interviewed by NPR for Storme Aerison Story
Dr. Tiger was interviewed for this well produced story on Storme Aerison and how gender is viewed by media, aired on KRCC Public Radio in Colorado Springs, CO.
In this pilot episode of Wish We Were Here, we critically examine the career of one of the 20th century’s most infamous con-artists, Storme Aerison. It’s a story you may think you’ve heard before–a story of fraud, deception, and and the slipperiness of identity–but no matter your familiarity with Storme’s history, there’s more to it than you know. Read between the salacious, pun-filled headlines that have served to define Storme since she first broke into the national spotlight more than twenty years ago, and you find a complicated tale of gender, sex, sexuality, and our culture’s anxieties about these issues.
