“What sets [Making Gay History] apart from other history shows is the intimacy. These aren’t actors reading scripts or historians summarizing events from a distance. You’re hearing real people in their own words.”

From Benjamin Cannon’s rave: “And so, on the last day of Pride Month … there is truly no better time to highlight a singular work of the [podcast] medium, one that is educational, entertaining, and most of all, a work of incredible empathy. One that reframes the narrative of gay, lesbian, and trans liberation in an easily digestible, wide-ranging, and often heartfelt fashion. As we roll into the back half of a year that feels like a tipping point for the LGBTQ+ community, this podcast offers both a celebration of how far the movement has come as well as a handbook for how to keep on fighting, ensuring that things do not go backwards.”
