If you’re a member of my Patreon, you may have seen that this week’s bonus video is about a bizarre Broadway-ish show called Let My People Come. It’s a musical so strange I couldn’t believe it was real the first time I heard of it — which happened right here on this podcast several years ago. For this week’s episode, we’re revisiting my 2017 conversation with Eric Marcus. He’s a writer, journalist, and creator of the Making Gay History podcast, and when we last spoke he opened my eyes to a truly incredible piece of showbiz history.
If you’re enjoying The Sewers of Paris, I hope you’ll consider supporting the show on Patreon. Patrons get access to an exclusive Discord server, stickers and books in the mail, bonus videos, and more. You can join the Patreon at patreon.com/mattbaume.
And you may also enjoy my other projects — like my YouTube videos for a queer look at movie and television history, my weekly livestreams on Twitch, my book Hi Honey, I’m Homo!, and my email newsletter. Or you might like Matt’s So-Cast Pod, a podcast about the 90s TV series My So-Called Life.
