63:28 Steve Hocker, scholar and gender activist working in the area of transgender studies. A native New Mexican of mixed heritage, Steve is currently teaching and doing research on transgender representation at the Annenberg school of communications at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Steve has interviewed countless transpersons about their experience of being on tv talk shows. We talked with Steve about the history of transgender representation on television, and about current representations, including Jerry Springer's trumped-up "wild and wacky relationships of TG people", and how they can be detrimental to young transpersons wondering about their own identity and potential for fulfilling relationships.
