Disco — Jeff Illes on How Shaking It (in Platform Shoes) Shook the System.

Disco didn’t just light up dance floors — it became a symbol of civil disobedience. It gave marginalized communities the rhythm to resist and the freedom to shine.

In this episode, Jeff Illes — advocate, scholar, and beloved voice in the LGBTQIA+ community- joins us to unpack how disco powered a movement for visibility, equality, and joy. Reminding us that music doesn’t just move bodies — it moves history.
