INTRODUCING: New podcast Black and Gay, Back in the Day

We'd love to introduce you to this new podcast Black and Gay, Back in the Day which brings to life a photo archive of Black LGBTQIA+ life in Britain, from the 1970s through to the early 2000s.  Each episode is an intergenerational journey focusing on a key photograph from the archive - joining stories of the past, with those of today. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/jun/11/marc-thompson-how-an-hiv-diagnosis-at-17-helped-him-change-britain" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Marc Thompson</a> is the gentle, inquisitive and warm guide to the archive, helping a rotation of younger Black LGBTQIA+ co-hosts navigate these often untold stories. Each episode covers a different theme drawn out of a single photograph from the collection, submerging you into Black LGBTQIA+ history.

**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>.
