\n\tShe previously told The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> that Fire Island was \u201cintrinsically formative\u201d to her identity as a gay person growing up in New York. \u201cAs my obsession with the history and culture of Fire Island intensified over the years, I began collecting interviews with notable Fire Island figures, past and present,\u201d Rothschild explained of the gay mecca. \u201cThis new season has allowed me to delve into stories that have yet to be told.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe first two episodes of season two drop June 11, with a weekly drop from there. The series is distributed via the Broadway Podcast Network and available on SiriusXM, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music.
