This podcast—led and produced by Miles Marshall, who is joined in discussion by Mimi Norton de Matos and Maggie O’Brien—examines our Queer Berlin Walking Tour with Jared Pool of Critical Tours. This tour explores Berlin’s gay neighborhood, Schöneberg; the El Dorado, one of Berlin’s oldest gay and trans* bars that was frequented by openly gay Nazi SA leader Ernst Röhm; the Memorial to the Homosexuals Persecuted by the Nazis; the life of Magnus Hirschfeld and Christopher Isherwood; and more.
Hailing from the city of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, Miles is a rising junior at Colorado College majoring in Feminist & Gender Studies and minoring in Studio Art and potentially minoring in Environmental Studies. Miles is extremely excited to spend three weeks in Berlin, hoping to acquire a liking for beer while there. At Colorado College, Miles is the chair of Equal, a safe space for queer and questioning folk, they are a member of SOSS, the student organization for sexual safety, and they can be found baking bread, dying their hair, and going on bikes rides around Colorado Springs.
