Amazing intro into LGBTQ+ history.

Really appreciating the approachable presentation of this podcast so far. Lots of information to unpack and understand, but the annotations and easy to grasp presentation style makes it fantastic for folks unfamiliar to the history like myself. Awesome work!

Great content but delivery is painful.

Topics are important and interesting but the delivery of the information was a little irritating. Narrator should stop the uptalk, declaratory sentences shouldn’t sound like questions. Also, sarcasm is rarely ever interesting. All the good points can still be made without sarcastic tone.
