More on Sweetbitter:
Sweetbitter is an investigative history podcast with a focus on queer women’s history. Each season, they explore a different corner of history, using literary works or historical figures as a starting point to discuss a broader story of erasure of people with marginalized identities.

In their first season, they delved into the truth and controversy of Sappho — her life on the Isle of Lesbos, homosexuality in ancient Greece, and her legacy today. In Season 2, they will focus on the history of queer and women pirates.
