Mattachine, a 10-episode serialized show available free on iTunes Jan. 4, will follow the true story of the secret Mattachine organization that catalyzed the U.S. LGBTQ-rights movement in 1950.
From a spark of inspiration in 1920s Chicago, through secret speakeasy-style meetings that brought together anonymous gay individuals, the program will open FBI case files to journey through the McCarthy-era paranoia and the witch hunt that pulled the communist queer activists apart, scattering the seeds of the movement.
Listeners may listen to the trailer and subscribe now on iTunes or other podcast-playing apps. Follow the show on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @mattachinefiles, and explore resources and other details at MattachinePod.com.
