In this episode, Greg Jenner is joined in twentieth-century Germany by Dr Bodie Ashton and comedian Jordan Gray to learn all about LGBTQ life and culture during the Weimar Republic. After the failure of the First World War and the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II, German politics underwent something of a revolution. With the end of the old imperial order came the questioning of its conservative social values, and feminist and socialist campaigners sought to rethink old assumptions about gender roles, family life and sexuality. Part of this included a flourishing of LGBTQ life and culture in the 1920s and early 1930s. In this episode, Greg and his guests explore the political and economic circumstances of Weimar Germany, queer club culture, magazines and filmmaking; alongside research into sexuality and campaigns for transgender and gay liberation, to discover why Weimar Germany was such a focal point for LGBTQ life in this period. \\n \\nHosted by: Greg Jenner\\nResearch by: Jon Norman Mason\\nWritten by: Emmie Rose Price-Goodfellow, Emma Nagouse, and Greg Jenner\\nProduced by: Emmie Rose Price-Goodfellow and Greg Jenner\\nAudio Producer: Steve Hankey\\nProduction Coordinator: Ben Hollands\\nSenior Producer: Emma Nagouse\\nExecutive Editor: James Cook
