A red square with "New Episode" as the header. Below are parallel images of a book cover image and text box. The book cover shows a giant wonder woman holding a small blond woman. The book is titled "Suffering Sappho! Lesbian Camp in American Popular Culture" and the author is Barbara Jane Brickman. The text box reads: "In this episode Dr. Barbara Jane Brickman (University of Alabama) and Leah Cargin (University of Oklahoma and the Journal of Women's History) discuss Suffering Sappho! First, Brickman introduces the listeners to lesbian camp and then we discuss the many storied characters in the monograph. We share the zingers and one liners of actress Tallulah Bankhead and giggle about the camp antics of Superwoman's sidekick, Etta Candy."

Loved talking to Leah Cargin at the Journal of Women’s History last month. We had far too much fun talking about camp considering the ruins of a country we are living in right now. Or perhaps because of that!
