A relatively new podcast where writer Jack Guinness interviews influential people within the LGBTQ+ community about their story and the issues that they are passionate about. He’s had a good string of guests so far, including comedian Stephen K Amos, Paris Lees and Dr Ranj. Plus the reality star Nadia Almada, the first trans winner of Big Brother, all the way back in 2004.
I particularly liked an interview with Graham Norton, who talks about being taken under the wing of friends within the LGBTQ+ community back in the 1980s, and talks frankly about his experience of loss and fear during the AIDS Crisis. “It's the way that people would vanish,” Norton says. “You'd suddenly notice that they'd gone.”
“If you weren't kind of, you know, particularly in that bit of the tribe, you wouldn't hear. But then you would hear, oh, they got sick. They went home.”
