About this episode
Running a bookshop might sound like the epitome of a quiet life. But for one man, the act of selling a very specific book resulted in his arrest - and led to the publisher of that book taking his own life. What made it so controversial?
In celebration of Pride Month, Dr Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen explore the history, science and culture of bisexuality.
In this first episode, they discuss the origins of sexuality research and their own sexual identities.
Warning: This episode includes mention of suicide and some swearing.
