Sebastian’s voice, the theme song, and “act breaks” are 💯🔥 This is such a delight every week. The stories of the past can be heavy, but the love and enlightening glimpses imparted through real talk and raw emotion and humor. 🤓📖🧐
Bash is hilarious, and I love his approach to queer history. It's nice to hear queer history that isn't all depressing.
A truly delightful listen. While it may not always go as deep as I would prefer on each subject, the banter and queer joy it radiates are enchanting for educated and casual listeners alike.
As a queer person, this is an important and educational, not to mention entertaining pod to listen to. Thank you for doing a great job!! Will recommend and continue to listen.
Sebastian does an amazing job facilitating interviews and helping to impart information not shared in typical schooling. Queer history/herstory belongs to all of us and this is a fun, enlightening way to approach it.

A recurring strength is pairing rigorous historical analysis from researchers and authors with playful banter, making complex histories accessible and engaging for listeners who want both depth and entertainment. The format often features expert guests who illuminate niche topics, and there's a clear through-line of how gender, sexuality, and power shape culture across time. Noteworthy el... more
