It's A Sin: The Ancient Origins of Homophobia (feat. Harry Tanner)

Why is Disney's Hercules one of the greatest LGBTQ+ films ever made?This episode attempts to answer that fraught and necessary question.As you may know, Hercules (1997) is a story about a small-town girl who goes to the big city to discover himself, become famous, land a few sponsorship deals, and build a chosen family in an imperfect world.It's like All About Eve but with much, much better music. (Though Hades and Bette Davis look uncannily alike, I'll admit.)Hercules was the first anatomically male Disney princess to grace the silver screen – and this innovation changed the lives of every gay boy and girl born between 1987 and 1997.The fact that it has some of the sharpest writing of the Disney Renaissance – and deeply layered mythological references – did not escape our notice either.Which is why Bash and his honoured guest, Liv Albert (<a href="https://www.mythsbaby.com/" rel="noopener noreferer">Let's Talk About Myths, Baby!</a>) have embarked on a heroic quest to explore:<ul><li>🏺 the queer origins of the original Greek hero, Herakles</li><li>🏺 a VERY close queer reading of the Disney film</li><li>🏺 Hades' camp, power-hungry effeminacy</li><li>🏺 Meg's BFH (Big Fag Hag) energy</li><li>🏺 Hercules' NYC twink to WeHo twunk story arc</li></ul> By the end of it all you will find out that, honey, we did indeed mean HUNKULES.So come on in and don't be shy!

Disney's Hercules: A Very Gay Close Reading (feat. Liv Albert)

Wait, what’s so gay about witches, you ask?First of all — sit down.When I was a young f/hag in the late ’90s, Wicca was having a moment. The Halliwell sisters ruled the WB, Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock were burying men in their back gardens, and I gobbled the GAGathon down with glee.Only later did I realize what made these witchy bitchies so alluring: it wasn’t (just) that they were different — it was that they were powerful.Outsiders who could fight back. Like the X-men...or democratic socialists.But were they always outsiders? No! In the ancient world, everyone dabbled in magic. Pagans love a hag with a herb garden.Then Christianity came along and ruined everything. AS ALWAYS.By the 20th century, witchcraft was beginning to mean "freedom" to a lot of repressed Westerners. Which might explain why nearly half of Wiccans today identify as queer.Join us for this Halloween special as we trace The Craft™ from ancient love spells to Victorian occultists, with brilliant guest Professor Marion Gibson.Together we ask:🧙‍♀️ When did “wise women” in the woods become “evil hags”?🔥 Why did we burn so many witches?🌍 How did colonialism export Europe’s hag-phobia worldwide?💅 And how did queer people turn witchcraft into a symbol of defiance, glamour, and spiritual fulfilment?So come on in, the cauldron-water is human temperature.–🎧 Listen now on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, or wherever you pod.

"Love was the foundation of everything for Frida. This bisexuality, this eroticism was fundamental to her character."She’s on your ex-girlfriend’s tote bag, your niece’s notebook, and probably a few questionable dorm-room tapestries.But behind the unibrow is a Frida Kahlo you don’t know: a bisexual, communist, pain-embracing rascal who painted from her gut and fucked whomstsoever she pleased.This week, we’re peeling back the kitsch to get at the real Frida, with filmmaker <a href="https://www.instagram.com/carlargutierrez/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer">Carla Gutierrez</a>, director of the fabulous new documentary, <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/detail/B0CV2362VT/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r" rel="noopener noreferrer">Frida</a> (now streaming on Prime).We discuss:<ul><li>Little Frida the rascal—from classroom pranks and her muchacho wardrobe, to falling in love with everything that moved.</li><li>The bus crash that made her body a battlefield and her art a visceral diary of pain</li><li>Her toxic, electric, and surprisingly horny marriage to the muralist Diego Rivera (aka "Toad Face), until he went one boink too far...</li><li>Frida's bisexual chaos: her lovers of all genders, from Chavela Vargas to Leon Trotsky, plus the lady lovers she painted boldly onto the canvas for all to see</li><li>How Frida became less “artist” and more “branded merch” — and why she still matters as a queer revolutionary</li></ul> So: grab your eyeliner and fill in that unibrow you've been growing out, because it's time to get freaky with Frida.🎧 Listen now on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/historical-homos/id1688718350" rel="noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0cnl9umCB9tWdXK4qugomR?si=ad9f7c08d4f54ba8" rel="noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>, or wherever you pod.

Frida Kahlo Pt. I: Patron Saint of Bisexual Chaos (feat. Carla Gutiérrez)

Powdered wigs. Satin breeches. Candlelit salons.And of course: sodomy.This week we’re swanning back into Georgian England (1714–1837), a century of empire, cholera, imperialism, and very flouncy coats – but also one of the gayest domestic revolutions in history.With special guest Dr. Anthony Delaney (author of Queer Georgians, out today!), we explore the LGBTQIA+ pioneers who didn’t just hook up in parks or "molly houses," but built full-fledged homes, lives, and legacies together.Inside this episode:🍸 Molly Houses — the proto-gay bars of London, where effeminate “mollies” cultivated community (and each other's C*CKS)👬 An Odd Couple of "Cotqueans" — Lord John “Jack” Hervey and Stephen Fox: two aristocrats who went on a very gay Grand Tour of Europe, wrote love letters to one anotherwith phrases like “I look upon you as my dwelling,” and redecorated their way into history👒 The Ladies of Llangollen — Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby, two cottagecore lesbians who fled Ireland with a dog named Frisk and set up their gothic sapphic country paradise in Wales🏠 Queer Domesticity — how 18th-century queers literally invented the idea of “home," defying societal expectations through the radical power of hot sex and interior design.Because sometimes being gay isn’t just about who you shag—it’s about how nice your fucking house is.🎧 Listen now on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/historical-homos/id1688718350">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0cnl9umCB9tWdXK4qugomR?si=ad9f7c08d4f54ba8">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>, or wherever you pod.
