They Were Good Friends: Unearthing Queerness from the Past episodes

  • Hell Yeah, Vintage Lesbians

    Hey everyone! Sorry this episode was a little late. School started again for me and West so we got hella busy, but uploads will still be coming! Today we talk about a film from 1951 called Olivia, directed by Jaqueline Audry, based off the book of the same name by Dorothy Bussy.

  • Giving Disappointment A Second Chance (ft. Shea)

    Hello friends! In this episode, I met with my friend Shea to discuss the 2014 Ghibli film "When Marnie Was There". I recommend watching it first as we do spoil pretty much everything. Stick around till the end to hear me sing a little :) 

    Shea's Podcast: 
    The Frost Walkers Podcast (found on Spotify)

    Intro song by Christian Valencia 
    Outro song is a partial cover of "Fine on the Outside" by Priscilla Ahn

  • The Walking Closet that is Garnet's Hips

    Hello friends! Today, West and I respond to some criticisms from a section of Lily Orchard's YouTube video about Steven Universe and why she thinks it's bad LGBTQ representation. As always, credit to my beloved Christian for the intro and outro music <3

  • Even Reads! Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie

    Hallo everyone~ Today you'll be hearing me read the first couple chapters from one of my favorite novels. I'll be doing readings like this every once in a while. (Mostly on weeks where West and I can't meet up for whatever reason) I'm sorry if you hear me talk a bit fast later on in this episode, I'll slow down next time I promise. Reading out loud by yourself is harder than it looks. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

  • Be Gay Solve Crime

    Hey listeners! This episode West and I had a conversation about the queerness of Sherlock Holmes. We got really into the conversation so I apologize if the audio quality distorts at times. I'm going to take more lessons on how to properly record stuff. Huge thank you to my friend Christian for helping me edit this episode cause I've had zero free time lately. I hope you enjoy and happy pride month everyone!

  • A Scream into the Void

    This is our first ever podcast episode!!! Today we talk about the story of Achilles and Patroclus from Greek Mythology. Thank you so much to my good friend Christian for composing our wonderful opening and closing music. I've linked his bandcamp profile below. I'd like social media for me and West, but we aren't really using it at the moment.

  • They Were Good Friends: Trailer!

    History often makes the past out to seem less gay than it actually is. Join West and Even as they go back in time, revisiting well-known stories and historical characters that were actually super gay but erased by the straights. This show is for all our fellow queers (straight people you can listen too I guess) who want to hear stories they can relate to and sleep well knowing we’ve always been here.
