*WARNING: This podcast is currently produced over Zoom, and so some technical difficulties do occur... see if you can spot the obvious re-record of a sentence in here!*

In this week’s podcast, Helena tells us the story of British-Jamaican nurse, healer and businesswoman Mary Seacole who set up the "British Hotel" behind the lines during the Crimean War and should be far more famous than she is, and then Siobhán tells us about drag king, Stonewall legend, and the "Gay Superhero of New York City", Stormé DeLarverie, who arguably helped kick off the Gay Liberation Movement in the US.

As always let us know what you think over on instagram @tenthmusepodcast and Twitter @TenthMusePod!
