The Log Books

**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.

Interesting and compelling

Police harassment, LGBT have been putting up and dealing with this for an eternity, a super program.

Inspiring and necessary

This is a wonderful podcast that is equal parts endearing, cute, touching and heartbreaking. I agree with another reviewer who said that the preservation of queer history is so important. I wish so much that I could thank every queer person that has survived in the dark times in an effort to make the world safer for those to come. As a mom to a LGBTQ child, I will never be able to repay that debt, but I will spend the rest of my life trying. Thank you for the part you play in bringing this aspect of their history to life.

A necessary listen.

Preserving queer history is important. This podcast is exploring the actual call books from a queer call line started in 1974, and has testimonies both from people who called in and/or took calls, now in their fifties and sixties. Add it to your subscriptions.
