'I Can't Be Gay Because I'm Christian...' - with Dr Luke Wilson 1:10:50

3d ago1:10:50

1:10:50

We seem to have, in the last few months, had a lot of religious guests, and through that we've had a lot of conversations about how religiosity can be in direct conflict with queerness, and all the issues that that can create. But what we haven't really talked about are the similarities between religion and queerness. And, to be fair, there probabl…

'This Kid's Probably Gay...' - with Matt Fishel 45:58

10d ago45:58

45:58

Can you really call yourself queer if you don't have a weird love/hate relationship with your home town? Because even if you love the place that you're from and you had an idyllic childhood there's still that reckoning that you need to have with all of those feelings of isolation and anticipation judgement and scorn when you came to terms with your…

"I Needed To See Masculine-Of-Centre Black Lesbians" - with Anna DeShawn 42:15

20d ago42:15

42:15

How much of yourself do you bring to the spaces that you spend time in? How much of the different sides of yourself do you bring out when you are at work? At dinner with friends? Spending time with your family? Hanging out at the club? Do you dial back your queerness, do you push down your beliefs or censor your thoughts? Or, are you one of those p…

"It Took Almost 30 Years Before I Actually Transitioned" - with Amethysta Herrick from Gender Identity Weekly Podcast 59:25

25d ago59:25

59:25

There's one question that gets asked in this week's episode that’s really stuck with me and that I continued to ponder even after we'd said our goodbyes and turned our microphones off... And that question is: how do you know when you have become the person that you’re supposed to be? By that I mean - at what point do you say 'yes this is the person…

Creating Safe Spaces: ITA O’BRIEN & the Art of Intimacy Coordination - Highlights 12:52

1M ago12:52

12:52

"That production was really close to my heart because I was a musical theater dancer in the eighties and so that whole storytelling was something that I personally had lived through and really understood. You know, I was that kid at the Pineapple Dance Studios. And gradually, as friends around me sort of began to become unwell, and actually, one of…

Intimacy Coordinator ITA O’BRIEN on It's a Sin, Sex Education & Creating Safe Spaces 52:46

1M ago52:46

52:46

How can intimate scenes be brought to the screen in ways that respect the emotional well-being and privacy of the artists themselves? How do we make sure that we can create a story about abuse without anyone being abused in the process? Ita O’Brien is the UK’s leading Intimacy Coordinator, founder of Intimacy on Set (and author of the Intimacy On S…

"Oh, But I AM Queer..." - with Eric Kostiuk Williams 53:31

1M ago53:31

53:31

Have you ever shown up at the tail-end of a really exciting party just as everything was ending, and you get that overwhelming feeling of having had missed out on something big? Well, that's kinda what happened to illustrator and cartoonist Eric Kostiuk Williams. He had moved to Toronto in 2008, and took a few years to discover the corner of the sc…

"This Hotbed Of Trans Activism..." - with Dr Syrus Marcus Ware 42:43

1M ago42:43

42:43

So, it's well documented on this show that queer spaces are good for many things - they're for dancing, socialising, drinking, falling down, getting back up, losing yourself, finding yourself in the arms of some strange men at 2am in the morning... BUT, they are also for organising and activism, and I think that's something we don't talk about enou…

"'Love Is Love' - Until You're Black, Trans, Disabled, Non-Binary..." - with Andrew Gurza from Disability After Dark 49:26

2M ago49:26

49:26

I know there's always the risk with this show of completely romanticising queer spaces as these glistening oasis' of tolerance and acceptance. But, that's really not the case - despite how wonderful and freeing they can be, they can also be a bit shitty and exclusionary. And I was reminded of that this week when I sat down to talk to talk to Andrew…

Championing LGBTQ Stories Amidst the AIDS Crisis and Breaking TV Barriers - Highlights - LISA EDELSTEIN 14:22

2M ago14:22

14:22

"I had the first ever lesbian makeout scene on network television on a short-lived show called Relativity. That was another role where I felt really honored to be asked to do that, having been in and around the gay community my whole adult life. In the club scene, it was like all my friends were gay. So I was really happy to represent doing that. W…

LISA EDELSTEIN - From Acting to Directing, Writing & Visual Art 49:36

2M ago49:36

49:36

How can the arts help us examine and engage with social issues? How do our families shape our views, memories, and experience of the world? From her role as Dr. Lisa Cuddy on the hit Fox series House, to her starring role as Abby McCarthy in Bravo's first scripted series Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce, Lisa Edelstein's range of roles are as diverse …

"My Faith Side And My Queer Side" - with Crystal Cheatham 50:51

2M ago50:51

50:51

I have a fairly straightforward relationship with religion in that... well, I don't have one. I wasn't brought up religious, I've never dabbled in religiousity, and it's never seemed to be something that particularly drew me in. Where it's a bit more fuzzy for me is when talking about the intersection between queerness and religiousness. It'll come…

Spirituality & Selfhood: TARA ISABELLA BURTON - Author of The World Cannot Give, Here in Avalon, & Strange Rites 46:18

2M ago46:18

46:18

What are we willing to give up to find meaning, connection, and a sense of belonging? What happens if we don't self-promote, self-create, and self-brand on social media? Will we find the right partner? Will we get into the right college? Or find the best job? Tara Isabella Burton is the author of the novels Social Creature, The World Cannot Give, a…

We talk in this episode a little about Lamya's new memoir, Hijab Butch Blues.

Forty years of Bringing LGBTQ+ Stories to the Screen - Highlights - ALAN POUL 12:55

2M ago12:55

12:55

“I was fortunate to be able to be out in Hollywood in the 90s and to be able to work early on seminal LGBT-presenting shows like Tales of the City series, and Six Feet Under with Alan Ball. When it comes to Tokyo Vice, I did push hard for there to be a queer storyline because in the late 90s, in Japan, there was a huge thriving gay subculture. But …

ALAN POUL - Emmy & Golden Globe-winning Producer/Director - Tokyo Vice - Six Feet Under - Tales of the City - My So-Called Life 1:09:55

Alan Poul is an Emmy, Golden Globe, DGA, and Peabody Award-winning producer and director of film and television. He is Executive Producer and Director on the Max Original drama series Tokyo Vice, written by Tony Award-winning playwright J.T.…

"Gay and Emo?" - with Matt Hey 39:41

2M ago39:41

39:41

It's time to put on your skinny jeans, dig out your studded belt, and apply about a week's worth of black eyeliner, because this week.... we're going emo! Now, if you’re listening to this episode 300 years from now and you’re like ‘what the heck is emo’ let me break it down for you... According to dictionary.com emo is 'a style of rock music resemb…

"She Gave Us The Space To Be Ourselves" - with Barrak Alzaid 42:40

3M ago42:40

42:40

This study was published at the beginning of 2024, and it talks about the key role of Aunties and 'othermothers' in supporting queer children to flourish by providing emotional and practical support. Admittedly, it's probably one of those studies that confirms what everyone else has known for years, but it's particularly interesting to me because I…

"It Felt Like There Was Only One Way To Be Queer" - with Natali Caro 53:37

3M ago53:37

53:37

So it's fairly well established that I think queer spaces are really significant and an important way to explore your identity and dip your big toe into the queer lake of fabulosity. But, what we don't talk a lot about on this show is the importance of queer performance spaces, where people who are just starting out - singers, comedians, jugglers -…

"All The Other Black Queer Boys Who I've Known..." - with Jord Hailwood from The Winning Side Podcast 37:46

3M ago37:46

37:46

Now, you might want to sit down or take a deep breath before you read this episode description, but.... it's possible that I've managed to find someone wracked with more self-doubt than me! Now, i hope you haven’t spit out your coffee or come over all faint, but I can confirm it is absolutely true. And who is that person? Well, it’s host of The Win…

"Other Kinky Queer People" - with Auntie Vice from Fat Girls On Top Podcast 56:38

3M ago56:38

56:38

On this week's show I'm starting to question whether I should be getting in to the world of kink or not. And, who is enticing me over to the kinky side? Why, it's podcaster and well-known kinkster Auntie Vice, who tells me all about what drew her to the world of kink, as well as what was so special about her lost space, Wicked Grounds in San Franci…

Introducing 'The Queer Family Podcast'... 1:04:56

4M ago1:04:56

1:04:56

More new podcast recommendations this week! This week I'm sharing an episode of The Queer Family Podcast, a show all about queer families. Every episode is a chat between host Jaimie and different guests who have been through the process of starting their own family, and I've learnt so much from listening about how varied everyone's journey is. Thi…

Introducing 'This Queer Book Saved My Life!'.... 43:21

4M ago43:21

43:21

Ahoy! I'm taking a few weeks off over the festive period to recharge (and eat too many mince pies). But, rather than leaving you languishing out there in podcast land without any fresh content I thought I would share some of my favourite episodes from past guests' own podcasts. And, the first show that I'm sharing is..... This Queer Book Saved My L…

"I Started Discovering These Gay Country Bars" - with David F M Vaughn from Gaytriarchs Podcast 50:20

4M ago50:20

50:20

Sometimes on this show we talk about spaces that my guest went to religiously, and they have stories from years of partying and socialising. And sometimes, like with this episode, we go to spaces that my guest only went to once. Despite that, it was still hugely influential to them. And, so, although we don't know the name of this week's bar, or ex…

"Becoming A Nightlife Celebrity..." - with Miss Guy 43:12

4M ago43:12

43:12

What do you do when Malcolm McLaren, that hugely influential promoter and manager for punk rock bands like Sex Pistols, Adam and the Ants, and Bow Wow Wow, tells you that he thinks you should move to New York City? Well, you pack your bags and get moving! That’s exactly what this week’s guest did, packing his bags and moving with his best friend La…

"Drag Can Be Different Things For Different People" - with Zelda Moon from Death to Everyone Podcast 44:30

5M ago44:30

44:30

What do you do when you're a drag queen who wants to get more gigs? Well, that's simple - you create you own night! Easy, right? But we're not talking about just any old drag queen. We are talking about someone who, dare I say, loves a checklist almost as much as I do (I know, can you believe it?). Zelda Moon is the co-host of the Death to Everyone…

"Drag And Gayness Requires Delusion" - with Lazy Susan from Death to Everyone Podcast 52:59

5M ago52:59

52:59

Who doesn't love a bit of competition? I'm rarely happier than when there are dreams to crush, plans to thwart and hearts to break. But, enough about me. Instead, let's talk about this week's guest, Australian drag queen and co-host of the Death to Everyone podcast, Lazy Susan, who found herself getting a bit competitive herself taking part in a dr…

"I Don't Want To Be Gay, I Want To Be Normal" - with Stephen Griffiths from Are the Gays OK? Podcast 1:00:13

5M ago1:00:13

1:00:13

So, if you are a long time listener of this show you will probably know that I am on a bit of a quest to stamp out the use of the word 'normal', because it find it is just a really unhelpful descriptor, and it's so subjective - like, what's normal for me may not be normal for you. Anyway, I say all of this because I need to formally apologise to th…

"Once I Get To College I'll Start Doing Gay Things..." - with Corey Sherman 52:49

5M ago52:49

52:49

Picture it. It's an evening sometime in 2012. You've met up with a guy from one of the apps (Grindr or Scruff or something). He takes you to dinner, and then he takes you to a bar, and then in that bar you have your very first kiss. How does that feel? Well, we're going to find out from writer/director/filmmaker Corey Sherman, who got a little smoo…

"You Can't Defeat Queerness" - with Mya Byrne 42:07

6M ago42:07

42:07

Sometimes being in a new location, surrounded by strangers and new-ness, is just the thing that you need to give you the bravery to embrace new things... And, that's exactly what happened for singer/songwriter Mya Byrne, who moved to San Francisco in 2015 to give herself a change of scenery. Along the way threw herself head first in to exciting new…

"Small Town Gay Bar" - with Freddy Freeman 40:53

6M ago40:53

40:53

I recognise that it's a total romanticisation, but I have a really soft spot for small-town gay bars. I love that they are inclusive (even if it is by necessity rather than design) and I love what they represent - a safe haven nestled in to a place that may not feel all that safe otherwise... This week we're headed to the lost small town gay bar Ru…

"That's What New York City Was Like In The 90s..." - with Sherry Vine 40:11

6M ago40:11

40:11

If you've ever wondered what 90s New York City was like, then today's episode is the one for you. Before mass gentrification, before eye-watering rent hikes, and before all the personality was stamped out of it, queer night clubbing in the Big Apple was anarchic, unhinged, and magical. And the person that told me this is this week's guest, Sherry V…

"We've Evolved Through Our Conversations As A Couple..." - with Charles and Martha from Full Circle The Podcast 57:46

6M ago57:46

57:46

So, we talk a lot on this show about new, fresh, exciting love (or, let's be honest, lust!), and how magnificent and all-consuming that can be. But, we don't often talk about that wonderful long-term love - you know the kind where you can be cranky and know the other person won't get offended. Or when you know each other so well that you can finish…

Highlights - DEAN SPADE - Professor at SeattleU’s School of Law - Author of Mutual Aid, Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next) 18:01

6M ago18:01

18:01

“The legal system is a colonial legal system that is designed to preserve capitalist extraction and all the racial dynamics required to produce racial capitalism. The system is already completely captured by our opponents. And anything that looks like it's good for us is probably actually not. People don't get what they're supposed to get. It's und…

"The Bear Community Is More Accepting" - with Benjamin Koll 45:26

7M ago45:26

45:26

Have you ever fallen in love with your best friend? Because - spoiler alert - it's a terrible, terrible idea. Or, at least it is for most people. Anyway, my guest this week, singer-songwriter Benjamin Koll happened to do just that, falling in love with his childhood friend, no less. And so by the time he managed to overcome that, and realise that h…

"People Kept Having To Tell Me Really Obvious Things Like 'You're Gay'" - with Paulus the Cabaret Geek 56:53

7M ago56:53

56:53

So when I talk about the importance of queer spaces I'm usually thinking about the fact that they give people opportunities to find others and connect, as well as exploring their identity in a safe space. But there's this whole other layer that I don't think about much. And, that is the fact that, for performers these spaces are (on top of everythi…

Richard Hatch - "Engagement With Others Is Something Many Gay Men Yearn For" 55:30

7M ago55:30

55:30

So, if you ask me reality TV, as awful and cringey and addictive and delicious as it is, has been monumental in increasing queer visibility in tv and film. Back in the late 90s/early 00s when reality tv was in its infancy, there were a lot of gay ‘characters’ (for want of a better term) that were cast on these shows as (I think) a bit of a shock ta…

"I Never Really Came Out To My Mother... She Read My Diary..." - with Sheria Mattis 43:59

7M ago43:59

43:59

Sometimes I feel a bit dumb (or maybe just a bit sheepish) about some of the revelations I have through doing this show, especially since we're so close to 200 episodes (eek!) and I feel like I should know it all by now... But, then, on the other hand, the fact that I'm still learning so much is part of the reason that I'm so excited to share these…

Speaking Out of Place: SARA AHMED discusses The Feminist Killjoy Handbook 46:47

7M ago46:47

46:47

In this episode of the Speaking Out of Place podcast, Professor David Palumbo-Liu and Azeezah Kanji talk with Sara Ahmed about her new book, The Feminist Killjoy Handbook. How and why is it that complaining about sexism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of bigotry, is considered impolite? How is civility uncivil, and the mandate t…
