Currently thought dumping the first draft idea for a queer history and culture podcast focussing on a mix of media and the 'everyday' queer experiences such as the formation of Switchboard, Chain Reaction, zines, flagging, Molly Houses and saloons, queer newspaper ads, drag, the Harlem Renaissance, Brixton in the 70s and 80s, trans and queer cabarets etc. I've mostly found that podcasts that provide similar content tend to just give out the same few events of queer history, focussing a lot on the upper class because their stories are the best preserved. This is possibly a bit ambitious, I'm not a historian but I am an autistic nerd with minor skills in audio production. If particular topics may interest you I am very much open to suggestions!

New episode of That's All Weird, Huh? Podcast!!! It's MY EPISODE!!!!! And of course I went ALL 80S!!!! LISTEN HERE!
Episode summary:
"Did you know people actually used to care about what was advertised to children? For real! Pre 1981, children were actually protected from manipulative advertisements! Nuts-o!!! But if there's one thing we know, it's that the 1980s was a crazy freakin time, dude. See just how much deregulation of advertisements towards children in the 80s changed pop culture and pretty much the western world! Totally rad! Or not...?"

Damn Interesting produces articles and podcasts that 100% live up to the site’s name. You might know them from the famous line “This is not a place of honor,” which they helped popularize in their article about how to store radioactive materials.
They don’t have any advertisements on their website or podcast, so they are completely user funded. If you’re looking for a place to throw a few dollars today, please consider donating to them. It’s good to have informative entertainment that’s not dependent on advertising.
I’m not affiliated with the site in anyway, I just like it a whole lot.

The hit historical fiction audio drama 1865 returns for an absolutely fantastic second season at long last. This is my review.
Tumblr media
1865 is one of the audio dramas I hold as the gold standards of what audio fiction is capable of.  I had been eagerly awaiting for season two to come out, and the wait is finally.  Season 2 is here at long last, and so is my review.  
Season two of 1865 begins where season one ended. Ulysses S. Grant has been elected the eighteenth President of the United States. Grant proved himself on the battlefields of the American Civil War, and has become a national hero. However, Grant is about to face a whole new set of challenges. Challenges that he might not be totally prepared for. There are white supremacist insurgency groups spreading across the South. Of particular note is a new group calling themselves The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Grant must try his best to clean-up the mess that Andrew Johnson created, and preserve the legacy of Abraham Lincoln. Grant must guide America through the tumultuous Reconstruction era. However, Grant will be hounded by accusations of corruption within his administration. He will find that, sometimes, his greatest allies can be his worst enemies.
Season 2 was exactly what I expected.  I expected it to be absolutely amazing, and it did not disappoint.  Steve Walters and Erik Archilla give a very warts and all depiction of Grant.  The give him credit that is long over due, such as how he played in major role in totally obliterating the first incarnation of the Ku Klux Klan.  However, they don’t shy away from how his naivety and over trusting nature lead to a lot of corruption from his closest allies. 
We also get outside the halls of power and get to see the view from the streets.  We follow several black characters in South Carolina, and in doing so, gain perspective on how Reconstruction is going.  We are introduced to several lesser known figures from American History.  For example, we get to meet Jim Williams, who lead an all black militia regiment who helped protect voting rights for the freedmen. 
There are plans for third season, but it is kind of up in the air at the moment.  Then again, there originally weren’t plans for Season 2.  But thanks to massive fan support, season two happened.  So, who knows?  I certainly hope we get a season 3. 
Have you listened to Season 2 of 1865?  If so, what did you think?

Hello!
I'm Sam also known as Pepper (the phoenix ) and I write fantasy noir with elements of horror, conspiracy thrillers, and historical fiction. Right now I'm working on the Queer Croc WIP and the Demon WIP.
Tumblr media
The Queer Croc WIP is Les Miserables meets Peaky Blinders. Only defeated rebels get tried for war crimes. That’s why Kingsley, an anthro crocodile, is facing the empire’s noose. To save his life, he’ll have to lie through his teeth and manipulate Alex, a traumatized journalist whose wife Kingsley tortured. What? He’s done worse
Tumblr media
The Demon WIP is the X-men meets Penny Dreadful Meets Hannibal meets Babylon Berlin meets V for Vendetta. A group of Demons, warlords, "mad" scientists, and intrepid scholars must work together to overthrow a corrupt theocracy while avoiding the Church's (un)holy assassins.
When I'm not writing about queer anthro crocodiles and Demons, I study asymmetrical warfare and colonialism with help from my buddy: Professor Boris Valerian “L’Train” Massie.
Tumblr media
He has the Ph.D. I do not (not yet at least). Right now I host the Art of Asymmetrical Warfare podcast but hope to produce a series of videos with Boris in 2023
