History's a drag...

 

...well it is now! In each episode of this immersive podcast, Son of a Tutu is our Time Mistress. She's dragging a guest of her choice into her time machine and taking them back to the past to bear 

witness to the origins of our very own queer culture.

 

Starting in the time machine itself – a very queer Tardis, named the "Queeriosity", and bedecked in Tutu’s own signature style – we meet the guest – before she fires it up to drag them into the past.

 

Through the power of sound, our audience is going with them to fully experience what it may have been like for our queer forebears – the sights, sounds, smells of the past.

 

In each episode, they’re meeting an expert who will guide them through each subject area to find out why this person, place or event deserves recognition in the Queer hall of fame.

We’re heading back to meet Sappho on the Greek Island of Lesbos, having a pint of ale in the rowdy Molly Houses of Georgian London, rioting through the streets of New York following the Stonewall uprising… all to piece together the rich tapestry that queerness is today. 

 

At the end of each episode as it’s time to come back home, how has this subject affected the way we live our lives now – and what has been the long-lasting legacy that’s still seen today?

 

This podcast is an entertaining romp through the highs, the lows and the downright weird queer history that this planet has to offer, packaged in an irresistible and bingeworthy way that will have us itching to find out where Tutu will take us next…

Time Slayers Unite!

 

Queerness has ALWAYS been a thing. Yet it seems only in recent years, that people outside our community are beginning to notice – and not in a good way. While in the early 2000s, trans people were winning Big Brother, civil partnerships (paving the way for equal marriage) were made into law in territories around the world, and drag queens like Lily Savage were mainstream Saturday Night entertainment – queer people are now being targeted for simply being who they are – and for being visible.

 

So it’s never been more important to recognise that queerness is nothing new. But leading the charge should be the next generation of queers, many of whom don’t know the struggles of our forebears, or how we got to where we are today.

With knowledge comes power. And through this podcast, we’re giving queers of all ages around the globe, the power to know THEIR past, which will help give them a better future.
