0.10. More on the OG Lesbian and Exploring Sappho with Sweetbitter Podcast

It's been one heck of a year, huh queerlings? This month, while
we're not able to bring you a regular episode of History is Gay,
we are treating you to a special delight in the form of our
fantastic conversation with the wonderful minds and gayness
behind the brand new (or at least it was when we recorded
this) Sweetbitter Podcast, all about Sappho!


Created by Ellie Brigida, Leesa Charlotte, and Alyse Knorr,
Sweetbitter is an investigative podcast that delves into the
truth and controversy of Sappho’s life, the Isle of Lesbos and
homosexuality in ancient Greece. Was Kerkylas of Andros
(translation: “Penis of Mansville”) Sappho’s husband, or a wink
to her known love of women? Did she really have a daughter named
Kleos or was she her young lover?


Collaborating with experts in the fields of poetry, queer
studies, theatre and Ancient Greece, Sweetbitter untangles the
life of Sappho including the importance of her work and sexuality
in modern times.


Leigh spoke with Leesa and Alyse back in October while they were
gearing up to launch the show, and now you can hear five of their
episodes everywhere you listen to podcasts, and check them out at
