The Log Books

Introducing: Making Gay History

Season three of The Log Books launches next week, November 1st, with eleven all-new episodes covering 1992 to 2003, released weekly. FOR NOW — just before our third season begins — we want to share one of our inspirations. Making Gay History. This is such a special podcast to us at The Log Books, for showing us how to bring LGBTQI+ history to life sensitively, now working on its tenth season. To give you a taste of Making Gay History, we’re dropping one of our favourite episodes right here. In this episode, host Eric Marcus interviews Edythe Eyde, who started a newsletter for lesbians in 1947 through illicit use of her typewriter in her office job as a secretary. Edythe even sings for Eric from her porch — one of her witty ditties about cute butches... You can find Making Gay History wherever you get your podcasts or at www.makinggayhistory.com.

**Best New Podcast (Gold) at the British Podcast Awards 2020** What if you could glimpse into LGBTQIA+ life from decades ago? Since 1974 volunteers at Switchboard, the LGBT+ helpline, have written notes in the charity's log books. Hosts Tash Walker and Adam Zmith are re-opening these pages today, to explore untold stories from Britain’s queer history. Each episode explores a different theme from LGBTQIA+ life through log book entries, dozens of voices sharing their own memories, and conversations about being queer today. <a href="https://www.thelogbooks.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.thelogbooks.org</a>Support this show <a href="http://supporter.acast.com/thelogbooks" rel="payment" target="_blank">http://supporter.acast.com/thelogbooks</a>.
