YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Can you remember the first diva you worshipped? For the staff writer Michael Schulman, the answer is easy: Miss Piggy. “She had this larger-than-life, tempestuous femininity that is so alluring,” he says. In a new episode of our Critics at Large podcast, Schulman tells co-hosts Naomi Fry and Vinson Cunningham about his long-time love of the beloved Muppet—and the role she played in his coming-out story.
