This Thursday, February 23, the First-Year Writing program at Eugene Lang College presents an exclusive preview of the acclaimed Making Gay History podcast’s second season, which brings the voices of queer history to life through decades-old intimate conversations with LGBTQ champions, heroes, and witnesses to history. Season one garnered praise from Slate, Wired, and Elle, among others.

The event runs from 7pm-9pm, in room UL104 in the New School’s University Center, 63 Fifth Ave.

The discussion will feature MGH’s creator and host, Eric Marcus, and executive producer, Sara Burningham, along with podcast producer Jenna Weiss-Berman. June Thomas, Slate’s celebrated culture critic, will moderate the discussion.
