Mark Aistrope – Bus Driver, Embalmer, Producer & Out Proud JOY Volunteer – Part 2

In Part 2 of this episode of For One Night Only (FONO), Pete Holmes continues talking to his very special guest co-host, Mark Aistrope about his mixtape. Mark has worked as a bus driver and an embalmer but is now retired and is a proud JOY volunteer and one of the producers for JOY Breakfast. Mark has been out and proud for many years and is married to Richard. His mixtape and story lead us on a journey that explores his life over the years and includes some of his favourite gay songs of the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. And, yes he can sing!
