from History Homos · host Scott Lizard Abrams
This week Scott, solo, discusses the Great Moon Hoax of 1835, when The New York Sun newspaper shocked the world with a fictitious story about Sir John Herschel constructing a wondrous telescope which allowed him to view the moon close up. It goes on to describe a vivid world of Bat-Human hybrids living in a utopian society that has bizarre esoteric undertones amongst otherworldly beings.
