Liminal Lesbians (Hilma Af Klint's Spiritualism: Pt 1)

Your host Zelda Reed returns after a fruitful summer hiatus to talk with artist and scholar R. Jamin about lesbians in the 19th century spiritualist spaces and why this movement became a refuge for queerness. If you're curious about marginalized sexualities in religious studies, or how spiritualism was built by the alphabet mafia, this episode is for you. Since Zelda and R couldn't get enough of the subject matter, this is an extra enriching two part special, with the first episode setting the groundwork for the deep dive that is episode two. - More info on R. Jamin and their works can be found at rjamin.net - Support Fringe Religion at patreon.com/FringeReligion [https://open.acast.com/shows/6441f59b7301040011b07192/episodes/patreon.com/FringeReligion] - ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

episode Unicorns: A Horny History artwork

Unicorns: A Horny History

Your host Zelda Reed embarks on the first solo research episode after being inspired by a sudden barrage of unicorn imagery. From Medieval tapestries to Dungeons and Dragons to early-aughts randomcore, we go on an exploration of the original symbolism of these mythic creatures and how Christianity co-opted their fame. They're sort of like Jesus...but sexy? - Stay tuned til the end of the episode for the answers to all your questions sent to -> fringereligionpod@gmail.com - Support Fringe Religion at patreon.com/FringeReligion [https://shows.acast.com/fringe-religion/episodes/patreon.com/FringeReligion] - - Sources!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
