Preview: "GAY PANIC! 1955"

This is the true story of a panic that swept Boise, Idaho in 1955—a panic that continues to spread and damage our communities today. A standalone 9-episode serial podcast about a true scandal in queer history—in a new city with no Mattachine, no Bilitis, & no one to turn to.

Season 2 Trailer

Check out the podcast on Instagram @queerserial to see the FULL visual trailer!

Season 2 picks up in 1954, right where we left off. (But you don’t need to hear season 1 to follow along.) A secret organization of lesbians forms under the FBI's watchful eye as the national Mattachine Society crumbles. A political revolution is launched by a drag queen. Police raid gay spaces and street queens fight back.

The conservative gays who commandeered the movement in Season 1 push against the queers who don't conform to suits and skirts. The masks come off and a militant minority is rising.

Mattachine: A Queer Serial is told in serialized episodes.
Created by Devlyn Camp.

Bonus episodes! Cute buttons! Cute mugs! Cute archival research photos! Join me on Patreon at patreon.com/queerserial. Our first bonus episode (June 1!) is also a true queer history story called “A Murder in Midtown.” It’s a wild tale.
