The Log Books @ Switchboard - New Release: April 2020

The Log Books with Tash Walker, Adam Smith and Shivani Dave is a new way to glimpse into the past of queer life in Britain. Using real calls from the 70s and 80s and an incredible archive of history from the LGBT+ Switchboard, each episode of this stirring podcast centres around logbook entries made by the volunteers who staffed the phones from Switchboards first day. This series says so much about how Switchboard has been a vital service over the years. The emotions are real and, although they reflect on the history, they remain raw ready to be healed by the hosts ability to bring these conversations up to date with an empowering sense of identity. Stories from Britains LGBT+ history and conversations about being queer today.
