This episode explores a topic that is both timeless and timely: Drag. Drag has deep historical roots and is a vibrant art form that has not only entertained but provided a critique of cultural, political, and social topics. We had the opportunity to sit down with Glitter and Concrete: A Cultural History of Drag in New York City* author and historian Elyssa Maxx Goodman to learn more about the history, significance, and evolution of drag, as well as its enduring impact on our culture.
This History UnErased podcast is funded by the New York City Council. It was produced and edited by Dinah Mack; Kathleen Barker; and Deb Fowler.
History UnErased is putting LGBTQ history in its rightful place — the classroom. UnErased.org
