“Camp’s titillating style of storytelling hooked me”
\
“Devlyn Camp…talks about their work with a bubbly, contagious enthusiasm that comes across clearly on the phone even from 3,000 miles away. Calling Camp exuberant might still be an understatement. [Co-creator of this season] Will Roscoe recorded 20 hours of interviews with Milk’s successor Harry Britt…and he was present for much of what plays out in the serial.”
“Camp enlivens each episode with witty and thoughtful commentary beyond the storyline, connecting dots between major historical themes and present-day events.”

"It's fitting that writer Devlyn Camp chose to podcast the story of the Mattachine...
Like the majority of queer history, the movement's inception took place deep in the closet—muffled and through word of mouth, relying on people operating outside conventional media networks… As a medium, the podcast totally falls in with this legacy."
Chicago Reader
"The series illustrates the importance of LGBT history by spotlighting a crucial point in the modern gay rights movement... at a time when, once again, their rights and existence are being threatened."
Windy City Times
"Our newest suggestion is Mattachine...
It guarantees more intrigue than your typical history lesson, uncovering issues that our community still struggles with today... Get ready for some drama!"
Gayletter
"The Mattachine podcast is one of the best podcasts we’ve listened to. Not only is it well-researched and immaculately produced, it goes into the stories about the foundation of modern LGBTQ activism — both where we’ve been and where we’re going."
