  1. EPISODE 1

    Ep. 1: Retracing a hidden history

    Welcome to our very first podcast episode! In this episode we give you a short, general introduction to Queer History in Austria and the specific court case that we will talk about in the next few episodes. The accused was the 35-year-old Hans M. who was being tried for homosexuality and fraud in Graz in 1949/50. We discuss the issue of only having sources that tell us the prosecution’s side of the story. CW: transphobia, homophobia, cisgenderism, heterosexism A special thanks to our dear friends Beni Klingler for lending us his voice and to Joel Laun for his help with sound engineering.

    Ep. 4: This is not over

    In our last episode, we tell you how Hans M.’s fight for his right to existence continued after the trial and what negative impact the sentence had on his life.
