History is Gay Creators & Guests

Gretchen Ellis is an unabashed and flamingly bisexual nerdy fangirl. She has a degree in Church History/Historical Theology from back when she was a conservative Christian and in the closet, and a degree in Hebrew Language and Rabbinics from when she was working past both of those things. Now, she spends her time talking about themes and characters as a media critic, podcaster, and Managing Editor for The Fandomentals and her own website. Other than this podcast, she hosts “The Fandomentalist,” a podcast about geeky media analysis, and is a frequent guest and former cohost of “Ladies First,” a podcast about queer ladies. Oh, and she’s also trying to get her first novel---a sci-fi with queer, multi-ethnic, and neurodiverse protagonists---published.

A big ol' queermo who can't (and won't) shut up about TV, comics, and the importance of representation on-screen and off. They have a degree in European History and Theater, and wrote their thesis on ascetic medieval women and all the ways they messed with the patriarchy, and flirted for a long time with slapping on an archaeology degree as well, because why not! Bones, yo. They're so neat. Now, she can usually be seen frantically running around craft stores working on cosplays, spending entirely way too much money at comic conventions, and muttering obscenities under breath at Adobe Premiere Pro while honing video editing skills. And usually consuming more Netflix than is probably healthy.
