As it is UK LGBTQ+ History Month, let\u2019s look at podcasts that look back at the history of this important community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black and Gay, Back in the Day<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>looks at the experiences of Black LGBTQIA+ Britons between the 1970s and 2000s.  The masterstroke of this important ten part series is that it tries to put conversations between different generations of the community front and centre, so you can see how the struggles and experiences have changed or remained the same. A recent bonus episode<\/a>, released at the end of last year, features many of the contributors reuniting to look back at the impact making the series had on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homo Sapiens<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>has a two part special episode<\/strong><\/a> looking back at key moments of queer British history, featuring expert Eric Cervini. Memories from the Dancefloor<\/strong><\/a>, which explores the history of famous venues, has released new episodes on The Black Cap<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>pub and The Nightingale Club<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>in Birmingham. And in a meta twist, Queer Spaces: Behind the Scene<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>has an interview with the CEO of the first LGBTQ+ museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the community has been devastated by the murder of the trans teenage girl Brianna Ghey this week. For those who were unable to make a vigil, the Field Recordings<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>podcast featured a recording of the one minute silence that took place outside the Department of Education this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile the British Podcast Awards\u2019 Podcast of the Year, Dear Daughter<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>is returning for a second season at the end of February, once again featuring personal and touching correspondence between mothers and daughters. The concept was an original idea by the podcast\u2019s host, Namulanta Kombo, based on letters to her own daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
