My guest this week is Devlyn Camp, creator of the wonderful podcast Mattachine, which tells the story of the work that preceded the modern queer liberation movement. Devlyn is surprisingly young for someone with so close a connection to the past. But with their historical storytelling, they’re able to pull off an impressive feat — creating new queer community by diving into old queer community.
We’ll have that conversation in a minute. First a big thanks to everyone who makes the Sewers of Paris possible with a pledge of support on Patreon! Head over to SewersOfParis.com and click “support the show on Patreon” to check out the rewards for backers.
And just a reminder that The Sewers of Paris is on Twitter and Facebook — I post clips of the stuff that we talk about on each episode, so you can follow the show on social media to get a look at the stuff that guests recommend.
And I want to let you know about two livestreams coming up — the first is one of our regular fun friendly chit-chats, this Saturday, the 26th, at 9am pacific.
But the second is a big to-do: I’ll be joined by comedian Deven Green, writer Carlos Maza, culture critic Anthony Oliveira, and scholar Bryan Wuest for a livestreamed game of Dungeons & Dragons. It’s our annual livestream to benefit Seattle Children’s Hospital. I hope you’ll join us on Saturday, November 2 at noon pacific time. Details are at bit.ly/extralifeseattle2019
