Bang My Box: The Robin Byrd Story

Long before the internet, Robin Byrd was New York’s anything-goes public access icon. From 1977–1998, her late-night call-in show brought together adult performers and experimental artists for candid talk, becoming a platform for sex-positivity, queer visibility, and free speech. Now approaching 70, she reflects on her legacy, her life with her husband, and a career that culminated in a landmark First Amendment verdict.
