Let's Learn About… is a fun, educational, general knowledge podcast that teaches you things you probably didn't need to know, but we're going to teach them to you anyway!
Each episode, we'll learn about a new topic and then share some resources if you want to learn more. Some of our favourite topics are history, mythology, film & TV, and space. We also have a monthly series all about D&D.
We're BACK, BABYYY! Let's Learn About... is returning at the end of May 2025, just with a few changes. I can't wait to crawl inside your ears again and teach you new things! 🧠

#176 - LGBTQ+ Love in Ancient & Classic Literature: Part 1
We're always on a mission to show that LGBTQ+ love has existed long before any of us. In this episode, Charlotte covers a brief history of gay relationships in ancient literature, particularly in Ancient Greek and Roman mythology, and a little bit of 11th century Japanese literature too. Stay tuned in a couple of episodes time, when we jump forward a bit to classic literature.
