Ray, community development lead at Spectrum Medical, hosts Rocko Cook, a public health professional and longtime leather
community activist, for an in-depth exploration of the leather and kink communities. Rocko, who has been active in the leather community since 1990
and currently runs DISH AZ, discusses the community's history, values, and contemporary role in sexual health advocacy. The conversation spans the leather community's origins post-WWII, and its modern emphasis on consent, mentorship, and radical acceptance.
