Apple Podcasts1Theresa the little flowerUnited States3 years ago - A true gem
Catholic, LGBT persons, and historians owe a debt of gratitude to Michael O’Loughlin. This podcast captures a part of history that gets virtually no recognition and we’re all so lucky for it. If you appreciate nuance, history, catholicism, LGBT subjects or just have human empathy, this is a wonderful podcast and I highly recommend it.
