This is What I’ve been Looking For!!!

Lesbian Historical Information is harder to come by than one would think. After a few months of searching YouTube for this sort of content, and deleting my Spotify in support of small artists, I finally got an Audible account. The first thing I did was search for lesbian content that isn’t cheap erotica. Lo and behold, this podcast exists, and I am so pleased by it, I don’t know how I’ll set it down until I’ve heard every episode. THANK YOU!!!
