  • ‘Sferics’: the spooky sound of connection - 011
    Jun 24 2026

    Tash has tuned into the secret sounds of electricity pylons (no, really) and discovered something unique about human connection and queer experience. We learnt about ‘sferics’ and about static electricity in the air, and how it affects us all.


    Discussed in this episode:

    Petition to call for a public inquiry into the impact of Section 28

  • Our exclusive tour of Queer Britain - 010
    Jun 17 2026

    Tash went down to Kings Cross in London to visit the newly re-opened Queer Britain museum. From nightclubs like Club Kali to footballers like Justin Fashanu, from the painter Carrington to dyke-themed folk songs, the museum captures every part of queer life. Thanks to Jennifer Shearman (curator) and Beau Brannick (assistant curator) and everyone at Queer Britain.

  • Staying afloat - 009
    Jun 10 2026

    It feels like life is pulling many of us down at the moment — so we asked each other: what do you do to stay afloat? We discuss swimming, solo cinema trips, birds and well-stocked food cupboards. The queer future starts here?
