Beers with Queers A True Crime Podcast

A city gripped by fear. A killer hiding in plain sight. And a deadly wave of misinformation that turned an epidemic into a hunting ground.

As HIV/AIDS spread across Britain in the mid-1980s, London's LGBTQ+ community found itself fighting on two fronts, against a devastating virus and against the hatred it fueled. When gay men began disappearing after nights out in London's most popular queer bars, police initially dismissed the murders as isolated incidents. But as the bodies continued to pile up, a horrifying pattern emerged. This episode of Beers With Queers explores the chilling case of Michael Lupo, the so-called "Wolfman of London," whose murderous crusade was fueled by fear, homophobia, and the misinformation surrounding the AIDS crisis. It's a haunting chapter of queer history that reveals how prejudice can become just as deadly as the disease itself, making this a powerful story for anyone interested in LGBTQ+ true crime, queer history, and true crime with a queer perspective.

Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers uncovers chilling crimes, forgotten queer stories, and the injustices history tried to bury, all with a cold one in hand. Grab a drink, press play, and join us as we shine a light on one of the darkest and most overlooked chapters in LGBTQ+ history.
