episode King James VI/I and His Early Love Life artwork

King James VI/I and His Early Love Life

This is Part 1 of a two-part series. King James VI of Scotland and I of England is mainly famous today for giving his name to an English translation of the Bible still held as sacrosanct by many conservative Christians. Yet he is also one of the rare examples of a man in pre-modern European history who unambiguously preferred romantic and sexual relationships with men. Bergeron, David M.

episode The Chevalier d'Eon artwork

The Chevalier d'Eon

The Chevalier d'Eon was a diplomat and spy who made the perplexing decision to declare that she had always been a woman in a time when women were legally and socially marginalized. Her story took her through the halls of power, to defying the monarchy of France itself, and to becoming an international celebrity who fought fencing duels in London. Sources: Clark, Anna.

episode Seth Versus Horus artwork

Seth Versus Horus

In the story of the epic rivalry between the gods Horus and Seth, there is one rather risqué chapter that may have a lot to say about what the ancient Egyptians thought of same-sex love.

episode Gladys Bentley artwork

Gladys Bentley

PS: Pre-Stonewall returns with the story of Gladys Bentley. She was an irreverent icon of the Harlem Renaissance, who performed her act and went around in public dressed in men's clothing and even claimed to have married a woman. Later in the more puritanical atmosphere of the United States in the 1950s, though, she published an article claiming her homosexuality had been cured. But how sincere was she?

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.
