Episode description

There's nothing like an innocent story to rupture reality! Fiction is a literary seismograph for social conflict and stories can change minds. They have helped end slavery, and end discrimination. Hear the powerful story of how. Also, a gaming scholar with a blitz through the history of queer games.

Enter a world of gaming, fan culture, gay romance, the essence of trans-ness  to hear how the answer may not be binary.
