EP43 Communism, gay rights and white middle aged men - Oliver McGillick

The Bla Bla Bunker

Oliver McGillick's career is centered around the live music industry - producing shows with international & local artists of all sorts such as: Iggy pop, Sting, Kasabian, The Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack, Kraftwerk, and Tom Odell. He was born in Australia where his mother had emigrated to from Communist Czech Republic. Oliver got to experience both worlds, Australia and a fast evolving Czech Republic in its infancy after the Velvet Revolution that marked the end of communism in the country. Oliver is one of the main people behind the freedom festival that is held every year in Prague to remind people that freedom is invaluable, and what the communist regime did here until 89 was something that will mark the nation for years to come. Oliver is gay and told me how it was for him to come out, how he see's the gay community, what rights are missing and what is maybe going overboard. We also discussed hyper correctness and political correctness and what impact that has on us as humans with instincts and needs. And we also planned my parade of white hetero sexual middle aged men....... https://www.instagram.com/olivermcgillick/
