I was excited to find a podcast about queer history, only to find the podcast isn’t queer in the least. Eric Cervini is just another out of touch cis white man who fails to understand the fight for queer liberation beyond liberal assimilation politics.

It’s informative & inspiring. The conversations flow so naturally. The host does a great job with his interviews & the guests are all incredible.

I just listened to episode 1 about circuit parties. Learned a lot in an enjoyable way. I’m a subscriber.

Informative, thoughtful, classy...and sometimes, when driving my long commute, it’s nice to listen to Eric’s voice and imagine what it was like.

I have been waiting for this type of history since I came out in 1982! More people need to hear his words and the history of LGBTQ+

I am so happy that I found this podcast. It is an interesting look into LGBTQ+ history in this country. If you have read any queer history you’ll hear stories you already know, and if you know nothing you’ll learn a lot. I can’t wait for my copy of his book to come in.

The verbal ticks used by Eric (PHD) and the author of Under The Rainbow (MFA) of you know, like, you know, like really ruin this unscripted conversation. I thank Eric for all he has done, but will every page of his book be filled with like, you know? Try Levi Chambers on the Pride podcast from...Read full review »

This is a great Podcast to learn about LGBT history. This is due in part to Eric being a great host AND most importantly a storyteller.

I love this podcast!
mporeda via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/20
The Deviant’s World, produces and narrated by Eric Cervini, is an incredible podcast. Each episode dives into a facet of LQBTQ+ people’s lives and culture—explains the history, evolution, and experiences of our past and present. The show is immaculately produced and digestible in depth and...Read full review »

Brilliantly done. Eric makes the information very interesting and keeps it fun as well. I think it’s so important for LGBTQ people to know our heroes and to claim our space in a mainstream history that has ignored us. Thank you, and keep the gay history flowing Eric.

Erik has an ability to both inform and entertain while providing insight. I newly discovered him and just devoured the episodes. Highly recommend

If San Diego can have an extremely successful lesbian bar “Gossip Grill” so can LA.

I really love this podcast and look forward to it every week. It’s amazingly informative and very entertaining. And everything I’ve learned about the history of my tribe so far has only made me hungry to know more. Thank you, Dr. Cervini!
JackTwist99 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/13/20
Listening to Eric talk about our history (both recent and a couple of centuries ago) enriches my understanding of LGBTQ+ culture and makes me grateful for the queer folk who came before me.

Just discovered this podcast through a write up on LGBTQNation and I’m hooked already.

Eric has a great way of telling a story that involves the personal and the historic. It’s vital that we know our gay history. I learned so much from this initial podcast and can’t wait to hear those that follow. Bravo!

I’m a huge history nerd and I absolutely love learning about LGBTQ history from Eric! He makes it so interesting and accessible. I only wish there were more content that I could binge haha. Can’t wait for new epeisodes!

This is a fantastic and also necessary podcast. Thanks for this Eric!
antoniosago via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/29/20
This is the first podcast I have ever listened to and I did it primarily to find out more about LGBTQIA+ history. It is important to provide individuals in our community, and those outside our community, with media like this so that understanding and learning can occur. I loved that Dr. Eric...Read full review »

This is such a great podcast! Thank you for what you are doing for our community. This podcast is extremely well written. The music is awesome as well!!!
gmerrill via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/28/20
Dr. Cervini serves up what the community has been missing for forever and a day. A pedagogical and very accessible delivery of queer history. The inaugural episode about circuit parties was illuminating. Looking forward to the forthcoming episodes.
Nandotunes via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/20
Our community and culture is just as diverse as any. What we are lacking is understanding our LGBT++ history. This Circuit Party segment was a great eye opener to our community.
ArneCar via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/20
I thought this was an excellent episode with great content and stories, and it described another world for me, as a gay man in a small, rural area. Thank you!
Bandmick via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/20
Can honestly say this was a great podcast, definitely can’t wait to hear more from Eric! Follow his Instagram and Facebook so he’s definitely got great content to see!
Zero_Cool84 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/20
Dr. Eric Cervini , the homo historian, connects with his audience by combining the art of story telling with in depth study of the LGBTQ+ community. He is insightful and honest about his topic and is clearly worth listening too.
Ncscott2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/20
I like how this is reverently and intentionally inclusive of all of us. Keep going. This is and will continue to be important work.
AnteaterA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/20
This podcast blew me away. Cervini clearly has such a wealth of knowledge in the world of gay history and he’s using it to explore contemporary queer subcultures without judgement or bias. This kind of content is not only relevant but necessary. Can’t wait for more !!
