Time Capsule: The Silver Chain
Diversity Hire Ltd | CYSAIn the early 1990s, a cache of abandoned newsletters found its way from a safety deposit box in Minneapolis, Minnesota to the state’s historical society, where they were left to gather dust.

Reviews
- Well researched, well organized, charmingly told.
Paul thoroughly examines the life and times of the Silver Chain Social Club, a organization founded in the 1970s aimed at swingers. Through this lens, Paul and company look at the founders and active club members from formation and expansion through the period of the AIDS Crisis, a critical factor in its eventual shuttering. Structured like a “who did it” (and why), Paul’s podcast also touches on the challenges of maintaining relationships.

He admitted to looking at women with lust and ‘committed adultery in my heart’. So the reference the book made wasn’t correct (ie no lust in the heart) but something similar was said and was quite controversial in 1976.
I really enjoyed this podcast. It’s incredible to me that ‘all that’ was going on in secret. The... more
