Devlyn Camp is so Outstanding

Devlyn is so talented and brilliant and totally beautiful. He is a gracious researcher and a fearless advocate for queer life and expression. They are the catalyst that presents a vital and historical view of our disturbing homophobic history that is so troubling and yet so enlightening.
Devlyn pulls apart an ugly American history and acknowledges our brave queer citizens, their advocacy and horrific prosecution.
Listen to this podcast and everything Devlyn has to offer— we are in troubled political times and Devlyn has empowered us but also informed us there is always a reverse gear when it comes to suppression and government brutality aimed at our beautiful LGBTQ+ citizens.
Devlyn has an expressive and beautiful speaking voice. Like I said it doesn’t hurt that Devlyn is gorgeous in so many beautiful ways.
Listen to this podcast cast and all of Devlyn’s work. Then Listen Again.
Love you Devlyn!!

4th Season is the best yet

All four seasons are incredibly well researched. The first three were impressively pulled together on more shoestring budget. The fourth, with much more original audio because of the subject matter, as well as a recording studio for higher quality narration, really makes this an exquisite and compelling radio serial. And it’s such an important story — for everyone but especially those of us in the LGBTQ+ community who don’t know our own history because we didn’t grow up in a world that taught it to us. At a time when some people would like to silence and erase the history of marginalized peoples, this podcast is an absolute beacon. Thank you loves.
