Om Podcasten

About Sweetbitter | Sweetbitter is an investigative history podcast with a focus on queer & women's history. Each season, we explore a different corner of history, using historical figures and texts as a starting point to discuss a broader story of erasure of people with marginalized identities. Along with the listener, in collaboration with multidisciplinary experts, we untangle untold histories for a modern audience.Season 3 | This season, we explore the history of the Bible, unsettling assumptions about the text and religious tradition. With interviews from LGBTQIA+ clergy and scholars, we break down, re-frame, and re-imagine Bible passages to reveal untold stories of queer resilience, love, and liberation. From the gay monks of the Middle Ages to the trans Pastors breaking norms in the Church today, demonstrating the women, queer people and social justice values that have always been at the heart of the Christian faith.
