  • “Queer Wales” with Emily Garside

    “Queer Wales” with Emily Garside
    2026/07/07
    From popstars to rugby players, this episode has all the Welsh queer icons you could want. Emily Garside teaches me about H from Steps, Russel T. Davies, the Ladies of Llangollen and so many other fascinating LGBTQIA+ people from Wales. We talk about whether wondering if you’re queer enough is similar to wondering if you’re Welsh enough and how the prejudice against ‘sounding gay’ relates to sounding Welsh.

    Books by Emily Garside:
    Rainbow Wales: Queer Icons Past and Present (Calon, May 2026)
    Out of the Box: Queer TV through the Decades (Manchester University Press, January 2027)
    Gay Aliens and Queer Folks: How Russell T Davies Changed TV (Calon, 2023)
    Seasons of Love: Why Rent Matters (Applause)
    You Are My Happy Ending: Schitt’s Creek and the Legacy of Queer TV (Applause)
    Angels in America at the British National Theatre (McFarland)
    Love that Journey for me: The Queer Revolution of Schitt’s Creek (404 Ink)

    2026/06/22
    If you have not read A Black Queer History of the United States yet, you are so lucky to have this fantastic book in your future! And lucky for me that this is also an excellent opportunity to speak to two dream guests: C. Riley Snorton and Darius Bost speak about gender trouble in the Black queer archives, how Black and queer histories need to be thought together and why grounding oneself in community is part of what it means to survive.

    2. Darius speaks about the book having two parts. What is each about?
    3. Riley speaks about gender and sexual deviance as forms of survival or escape. What does this mean? Can you name an example?
    4. What does Darius say about the relationship between civil rights ideology and non-normative gender?
    5. Why is it important to speak about collectives as well as individuals when engaging with Black queer history?

  • “Rainbow Trap” with Kevin Guyan

    “Rainbow Trap” with Kevin Guyan
    2026/06/09
    Who designs the rules of inclusion? Kevin Guyan has given a lot of thought to this question in his excellent book Rainbow Trap, which thinks through the many categories that fall under the rainbow umbrella and how they might include, exclude, limit, and even harm the people they are supposed to benefit. Listen now to learn more about why our future might hold fewer boxes to tick and how we can break boundaries to get there.
