One from the Vaults is a podcast series on trans history by performance artist and academic Morgan M Page.
"I am trying to track down not only the outline of people’s stories, which is often easily available, but especially, the gossipy bits which are much harder to come across...We can talk about things like “Christine Jorgensen had surgery in 1952 and it was this kind of surgery.” But what I’m way more interested in is what were her personal relationships like? How did she get on with the mailman? What was happening in her world at that time?"
Learn about the trans Howard Hughes! The "female Husband" of 1746! Vancouver's "Golden Age of Hustlers"! -- all annotated for further research enjoyment.

I've listened to One from the Vaults before. On Twitter, Morgan M. Page has recently been posting research for a future episode on anti-crossdressing laws in San Francisco and that they were in part to target Asian-Americans.

I've listened to the first three episodes now and really like One from the Vaults. The presenter is charming, the storytelling clear and the research is solid. Thanks, nixon's meatloaf!
