A history, most Queer episodes

  • 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? Well, listen and find out!

  • 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.

  • Oklahoma, God Damn!

    With the journalistic spotlight on Oklahoma, I thought it would be a good idea to look at some recent events surrounding the death of non-binary 16 year-old Owasso student, Nex Benedict. I will include various links to stories related to this, as well as help line sites if any of you or anyone you love is needing a helping hand in these difficult times.

  • Isaac Newton: Christmas Special
    Isaac Newton changed the world of physics, mathematics, invention, theology, philosophy, and so much more. This titan of science was also asexual and aromantic, which brings him within the purview of this little pod. A book that I read for this podcast that will go much more in depth is Isaac Newton, by James Gleick. Go check it out if you love a bit of history and science.

  • First American Tales by the Fire
    Let's start up a little fire and sit down for a few tales and legends. Oral traditions are a global phenomena and what better way is there to connect with family, friends, and future friends and family than to tell a few tall tales. For the creation of the world, to the first Two-Spirit person, a gender bending lesbian romance, and a randy lizard, these stories are sure to brighten up your day as the nights grow longer.
