After two years away, Glastonbury is again again BACK and this weekend has seen the World’s Biggest Music Pageant rightly splashed all around the BBC’s music stations. 6 Music moved from Broadcasting Home right into a backstage tent from Wednesday to Sunday, whereas Radio 2 devoted its Saturday evening to the wonders of Paul McCartney. All fully appropriate and the BBC does this huge occasion stuff completely brilliantly. However June can also be Satisfaction month and I’m all the time stunned by how little that is acknowledged by BBC audio. You hope it’s as a result of LGBTQ+ tales are not seen as “different”, although there’s nonetheless an argument for some celebration and evaluation. Anyhow, the 2022 London Satisfaction will likely be on 2 July. Damian Barr will likely be internet hosting Archive on 4: Fifty Years of Satisfaction, on BBC Radio 4 that day (and for TV heads, there’s a three-part BBC Two documentary telling the British Aids story beginning on Monday).
There are a lot of US homosexual podcasts, however for many who need a non-American audio take, listed below are a number of locations to look. When you haven’t already heard it, the immensely transferring podcast The Log Books tells the story of British homosexual individuals from the Nineteen Seventies to the 90s, through the handwritten logbooks of the London Lesbian and Homosexual Switchboard. The long-established chat-with-the-odd-interview present A Homosexual and a NonGay is all the time value a pay attention, as is the upbeat Two Twos, an exploration of black lesbian life by the all the time humorous Rose Frimpong and Nana Duncan. Plus there’s Homo Sapiens, which began in 2017. Initially hosted by Will Younger and Chris Sweeney, then Alan Cumming and Sweeney, the present is now introduced by Sweeney alone. He’s excellent at it, heat and welcoming, in a position to fortunately rattle on solo in addition to get some glorious interviews from the various well-known individuals who seem on the present.
I loved the current episode (No 180), How Ought to We Rejoice Satisfaction in Colleges? In Half 1, Sweeney spoke to geography trainer Chris Mattley and his ex-pupil, Leah. Mattley arrange a LGBTQ+ group for pupils on the Lincolnshire secondary faculty the place he teaches. What initially appeared, to an outsider, a simple factor to do –create a supportive group for pupils – concerned an enormous journey for Mattley, who wasn’t out to his work colleagues for a number of years. His story was touching, as was Leah’s: she walked previous the door to the group for weeks earlier than she had the braveness to enter. Part 28 has lots to reply for.
Within the second a part of the episode, the present performed a podcast made by a Bristol faculty, Hillcrest main. In it, pupil Jasper interviewed the founding father of Bristol Satisfaction; two homosexual mother and father spoke to Martha and Stephanie; three of the varsity’s LGBTQ+ academics chatted to one another; and hosts Solly, Freddie and Phoebe went into the playground to speak to different pupils (“My LGBT hero is my Uncle Ash as a result of he all the time invitations me spherical for barbecues”). Properly produced and the kids host brilliantly.
From BBC Cornwall, Jack Murley has a longstanding present, The LGBT Sport Podcast. All sports activities interviewers, in the event that they’re any good, have a contact of Partridge about them and Murley works the Partridge beat with type, filled with celebration (“Nice visitor! Go comply with his YouTube!”), no-pause-for-breath sentences and to-the-point questions. The newest episode, with American wrestling star Anthony Bowens, proved entertaining regardless of my lack of wrestling data, as was the episode with Irish rugby participant Jack Dunne.
Shon Faye’s Name Me Mom is again for a brand new collection, with a robust opening interview with American trans activist Donna Persona, now 75. Again within the day, aged 19, “cissy” (cis-gender) Persona discovered a pleasant crew of trans girls and drag queens in an all-night San Francisco cafe, Compton Cafeteria. Many have been intercourse staff and drug customers and a few of the cafe employees have been hostile. In 1966, there was a riot, with the queens beating off law enforcement officials utilizing purses, heels, sugar shakers and occasional. Persona wrote a profitable play about it and was made grand marshal of SF’s Satisfaction in 2019.
The riots have been, you word, three years earlier than the Stonewall riots, which is a subject coated in new BBC two-part podcast, Bi Individuals. Hosted by Unhealthy Individuals’s Dr Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen, these reveals have been enjoyable, as their reveals all the time are. I very a lot loved the attention-grabbing first episode, about Henry Havelock Ellis, who married bisexual Edith Lees and wrote the primary UK medical e-book on homosexuality (Sexual Inversion, printed 1897). The second, much less profitable, present coated the Stonewall riots, certainly a well known story by now, regardless of Hagen’s stunned “No manner!” reactions. Issues opened up when Shaw mentioned the historical past of bisexuality post-1970.
Lastly, you possibly can simply flip your swap to Hits Radio. The professional-gay station has a Satisfaction part on its web site and even a Satisfaction station, which is… just about the identical as the same old station actually, that means a continuous, all-bangers, full-sugar excessive. Take pleasure in.
