Did you enjoy the last episode "5. Gods, Sex and the Patriarchy"?
I'll be back with episode 6 of Queering Premodern Asia very soon! A new opportunity to interview another scholar came up and I couldn't pass it up. I think it would greatly add to the remaining episodes, hence the wait. But I didn't want to leave you hanging so in the meantime, I'm doing a few feed swaps with podcasts that I think you might enjoy if you're enjoying this series.
Warning: this episode has explicit content and is definitely not suitable for work or young ears.
We’ve been focusing on premodern queer history on this show, but the Fruitbowl podcast is an oral history of queer sex today. The first 4 seasons of fruitbowl were interviews with queer individuals sharing their coming of age stories and their journey discovering their sexual identity. The current season is a compilation of the past interviews that outline the common threads in these diverse stories.
The episode I’m sharing today is S2E2 with Aditya who grew up in India, and eventually moved to NYC.
Episode description:
Raised in Hyderbad, India, Aditya didn’t come out until his second year of college in New Delhi. Luckily his family and friends accepted him, but an awkward experience he had at a bath house in Hong Kong served as a reminder that queer people can often be as racist and socially elitist as straight people. Over the years, Aditya has learned to follow his instincts as he has navigated his journey from India to New York City. It hasn’t been easy, but he eventually found his tribe.
