Ep. 1: Toxic Boyfriends of Greek Mythology: Part the First
Buckle up for one of the most infamous - and lesser-known - gay couples in Greek mythology: Zeus and Ganymede, originators of the divine Daddy-Twink dichotomy. We'll discover what these myths tell us about ancient Greek homosexuality IRL, and how they provided much-needed PR for the complex reality between mortal sheets.
-
Ep. 2: Le Chevalier d'Éon: From Russia With Mess... in a Dress
The unbelievably wild and weird life story of the Chevalier d'Éon: transgender spy, soldier, and sleuth of the Enlightenment. Assigned male at birth, Charles eventually transitioned to become Charlotte, before discovering the humiliating constraints of life as an 18th century woman.

Ep. 3: William Shakespeare vs. Christopher Marlowe: Who's Gayer?
William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe: brilliant dramatists and...bisexuals? We unpack the rumors, the hearsay and the straight-up gay poems that suggest these titans of English literature were also really, really, ridiculously (good-looking) gay.

Ep. 4: V on V: The Very Sapphic Story of Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West
A review of the life and loves of Virginia Woolf. We dive deep into her affair with Vita Sackville-West, leading London lesbian of her day, and relive the parties thrown by the Bloomsbury Set, a group of young Modernists who continued the British tradition of plumbing the nation's bottomless depths of homosexuality. (Or should we say bottom-full?)
