Does the earth flip over like a top every few thousand years, destroying whole civilizations? And what's with the whole Flat Earth thing, anyway?

Stonewall

Episode 11 already!?! Just a few weeks over 54 years ago the Stonewall riots took place. I asked Graham to look into the events and share them with us. I have had to mark the episode as explicit, there is no foul language in here but some of the themes and stories aren't for little ears.
