28. Anne Lister Goes to TGIFemslash

Welcome to Gretchen and Leigh’s annual episode hosted live at
TGIFemslash! This is the con where it all began, and what better
way to celebrate our origins than with the ‘first modern
lesbian’, Anne Lister! Join us as we learn more about her life,
her loves, and her extensive diaries that she used to record her
sexual escapades, and you can even play along with the games we
hosted live at TGI!
