  • Entertaining, educating, and Very important work

    For how hard colonialism has tried to erase LGBTQ histories and contributions, and for how that is an ongoing process in our educational system in the US and abroad, shows like this one are so important. Not only are the excellent hostesses entertaining and fun, but they do a great job including cultures from around the world, different racial groups, all sorts of identities, etc. Wonderful podcast!
