March 13, 2024 The Well of Loneliness
The Lesbian Period Piece is a trope these days, but it got its start in 1928 with the publishing of The Well of Loneliness. The author, herself a lesbian, bravely wrote a story to tell of the lives of queer people, and faced a huge backlash for it. It was banned in her native UK for two decades, and for what?

March 06, 2024 The Faggots & Their Friends Between Revolutions
This book is a bizarre and fun journey through a parallel universe, when Faggots, Fairies, Queens and others fight against the evil Warren-And-His-Fuckpole, the ruler of the nation of Ramrod. I hope you enjoy hearing of this story and that you go out right away to get your hands on a copy of this delightful cult classic.

December 20, 2023 Isaac Newton: Christmas Special
Isaac Newton changed the world of physics, mathematics, invention, theology, philosophy, and so much more.
