    The Green Knight (2021)
    Mar 31 2025

    Today's Queer as Fiction episode discusses David Lowery's 2021 adaptation of Arthurian legend, The Green Knight.

    Join us for a romp through allegorical adventures of identity, whale-like giants and dissapointingly unsexy ents.

    Mar 1 2025

    Today's episode is on Italian-British sculptor Fiore de Henriquez, whose art reflected her own complicated relationship with gender and sex as an intersex person. Join us to hear about Fiore distracting Nazis with crepes, seducing everyone around her whether she meant to or not, refounding a town, and ruminating on the gendered nature of clay.

Informative and well researched

This podcast is much needed within the global queer community. We need to be keepers of our own histories in way that none queer identifying people do not. The episodes are usually around an hour long but seem to fly by as you are kept engaged by the fascinating studies and the enjoyable way in which they are presented. It’s so refreshing to hear queer people talking about queers of historical significance without the biased assumptions of many of the previous commentators who’s work the acknowledge and discuss. Thoroughly recommend it to anyone with an interest in history, queer or otherwise.
