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.
