PinkMafiaRadioEp76 Alex Castro



Alex Castro graced us with an interview and photo shoot so we could talk about his work as the gladiator "Militia" on the mega relaunch of "American Gladiators". PinkMafiaRadio is proud to present this interview with coverage of Alex as he shoots with some of my favorite Photographers Kurt R. Brown and Gregory Prescott. Special thanks to Rufskin for providing Alex with some great clothes for this shoot.

Please check out the amazing work by the photographers featured in this episode.
Kurt R. Brown


Kurt R. Brown also has a new book of his work available at his site featuring beautiful men from around the world. "MAN: Vol.1"

Speical thanks also go to Camrin Pitts of Little Red Pictures for doing a fantastic job editing this episode. My deepest gratitude also goes to Nir Ziberman of Just One LA for all his help with the clothes. Thanks again to the fellas over at Rufskin for making clothes so exceptionally.

To those of you who notice a lack of direct questions about issues relating to any controversial subjects I ask that you forgive me this once. I have great respect for Alex and felt that bringing him into a public debate over those issues would help no one.

Thank you for tuning in, please send feedback to Steven@PinkMafiaRadio.com
