If you want to find out what else they can do, make sure to listen to today’s episode, as Lea and Casey interview author Kirsty Loehr, and ask her more about the fabulous figures featured in her book A Short History of Queer Women. After stressing the importance of preserving and talking about queer history, Kirsty shares more (spicy) details about questionable boob lovers like Marie-Antoinette, and bona fide lesbians like Anne Lister, Emily Brontë, and many more. And if you’d like a little extra book-based humour, don’t forget to keep an ear out at the end of the episode for Lea’s usual pick-up line, the first of many more for our new season!</p><p><br></p><h4><strong>Outline</strong></h4><h4>00:00 – 05:16 – Intro and gay day check (with a special guest!)</h4><h4>05:17 – 09:04 – How gay was your life?</h4><p>09:05 – 12:10 – Queer person of the day, Marie-Antoinette</p><p>12:11 – 20:28 – Process of queering the historical stories</p><h4>20:29 – 26:58 – Reception of the book and developing the humourous writing style</h4><p>26:59 – 33:34 – The complexity of gender identity in historical figures</p><p>33:35 – 37:39 – Have we always been like this? </p><p>37:40 – 47:49 –  Quick quiz</p><p>47:50 – 52:59 – Recommended reading and upcoming books</p><p>53:00 – 56:16 – Outro and Lea's pick up line</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Credits</strong></p><p>Co-hosts: Casey, Lea</p><p>Guest: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/kirsty_loehr/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&amp;igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Kirsty Loehr</a>, author of <a href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60320342-a-short-history-of-queer-women\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">A Short History of Queer Women</a></p><p>Producers: Elle, Maria</p><p>Song: ‘Free the Nip’ by MuMu</p><p>Podcast logo designed by Laure</p><p>Find us on <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/dykalicious_podcast/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a> | Send us an email at <a href=\"mailto:dykalicious.podcast@gmail.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">dykalicious.podcast@gmail.com</a></p>","author_name":"Dykalicious Podcast"}
