Speaking of LGBTQ+ history, the award-winning series The Log Books, which looks back at the history of the community through the preserved call records of the community support line Switchboard, has returned for a fourth season six years after its last outing. 

Tied to the forthcoming release of their book of the same name, the new series features new in-depth interviews with LGBTQ+ people tied to five different decades of the movement, weaving in stories of solidarity, protest and community. The first new episode features an interview with John Lindsay, one of the founders of Switchboard, who tells the intoxicating story of the helpline’s first night back in 1974.
