    Queer as Hell: Queer Responses to Dante's Inferno - with Alice Musgrove and Harper Walton

    Queer as Hell goes English! As this podcast develops, you will find episodes in German as well as in English. Furthermore, you will see that we try not only to talk amongst ourselves, but also with experts and artists from different areas to broaden our (and your) perspectives on Queerness and Hell. In this interview, host Tom (they/them) ventures through the 9 circles of Hell as envisioned by italian poet Dante Alighieri. They are joined in this dangerous endeavour by authors Harper Walton (they/them) and Alice Musgrove (they/them) who's texts "Throwing Figs at God" and "All the (good) Queers go to Hell" have been featured in the anthology "Queer Responses to Dante's Inferno", released by Carrion Press in 2023. As we figure out why and how you have to formulate a queer answer to Inferno, we discuss the correlation of identity and sin; The pet-roleplay-to-nonbinary-pipeline; Dancing to techno in the 7th circle; Christian morality and the Church of England; Self-Exploration through lustful writing and the queer relationship to Hell. Lasciate ogne pregiudizi, voi ch'intrate! Trigger Warning: This episode features topics that might be distressing to you, such as sex, queerphobia, institutionalized violence and oppression, religion and self harm. Please take care of yourself and your mental health!

Wir vergleichen, wie die Protagonist*innen der beiden Bücher die ersten Schritte in Richtung ihrer queeren Identität gehen, klären ab, was trans*sein mit Spiegeln zu tun hat, diskutieren über Fingernagelmänner, Binärität in queeren Kreisen, Verkleidungen und vieles mehr. Triggerwarnung: In dieser Folge sprechen wir über Sexualität, Gewalt und Repressionen gegen queere Menschen, Diskriminierung, Selbstverletzung und Ess-Störungen. Bitte achtet auf euch und auf eure mentale Gesundheit!
