Sarah Keyworth, comedian

Season 3 · Episode 12

Tuesday, April 23, 2024 • Duration 46:00

Sarah Keyworth is an award-winning comedian from Nottingham, England, who you may know from Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, 8 Out of 10 Cats, or their own BBC Sounds show, Am I a Boy or a Girl?

Sarah just won the top prize at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and sat down with me to muse on some of the music that has soundtracked their queer journey, including (but not limited to) Katy Perry, MUNA, and Taylor Swift.

This is the final episode of Season 3. I'm taking a few months to rest and reset ahead of Season 4, but do enjoy any episodes you've missed in the mean time.

Season 3 · Episode 11

Tuesday, April 16, 2024 • Duration 39:09

Brontez Purnell is a writer, musician, critic, model, zinemaker, dancer, choreographer, and quite literally, more.

An Oakland punk by way of Alabama, Brontez has just published his fifth book, 10 Bridges I've Burnt. I'm an enormous admirer of Brontez's writing, and am thrilled to chat about his queer tracks.

In this conversation, we discuss music by Carol Hahn, Emily's Sassy Lime, and his own musical collaboration with a special friend from his past.

Jeffrey Masters, broadcaster

Season 3 · Episode 2

Tuesday, February 6, 2024 • Duration 34:58

Right back in ye olde podcasting days, I listened to just three shows – RuPaul and Michelle Visage's What's the Tee?, the BBC's Desert Island Discs, and the interview series LGBTQ&A, presented by Jeffrey Masters.

A GLAAD Award-winning broadcaster, Jeffrey's compassionate and curious nature shines through in his conversations with a ludicrously long list of queer legends, but it's his turn to take the interviewee seat for Tracks of Our Queers.

We discuss music by Little Big Town, Nancy Wilson, and the Indigo Girls.

You can follow LGBTQ&A wherever you listen to podcasts, or find Jeffrey on Instagram here.

DJ Paulette

Season 3 · Episode 1

Tuesday, January 30, 2024 • Duration 51:26

Welcome back to Tracks of Our Queers.

One of only two female resident DJs at Manchester's iconic Haçienda nightclub in the early '90s, DJ Paulette has spent 30 years pioneering a rich legacy in a male-dominated industry... not the easiest of tasks as a Black, bisexual woman.

In this beautiful conversation, Paulette shares insights from her career and identity, alongside three transcendent selections – we discuss music by Candi Staton, Sylvester, and Grace Jones.

You can follow DJ Paulette on Instagram here, and purchase her brand new memoir, Welcome to the Club, at all good booksellers.

Paul Southwell, musician

Season 2 · Episode 10

Tuesday, September 5, 2023 • Duration 34:58

In 1975, a very young and very gay trio of musicians were signed to Jet Records, a London label headed up by, well, Sharon Osbourne's dad. Handbag regaled audiences with outrageous on-stage simulated sex and snogging, before recording their debut album... which sadly remained unreleased, due to the stifling and fearful climate of the time.

Earlier this year, frontman Paul Southwell dusted off his copies of the album, digitised them, and uploaded them to streaming services. A flurry of global interest ensued, including this article from The Guardian that I was shared.

Paul now lives in Australia with his husband, and joins me to discuss his fascinating career, alongside music by Aretha Franklin, David Bowie, and Steely Dan.

You can learn about Paul's current band here, and listen to Handbag on Spotify here.

Annie Frost Nicholson, artist

Season 2 · Episode 9

Wednesday, August 30, 2023 • Duration 37:55

Annie Frost Nicholson is a multi-disciplinary artist based in London. It's easier to list which forms of art she doesn't bring her magic too, but I have particularly fallen in love with her visual meditations on loss, grief, and a lust for life.

Annie's own experience of a particularly unique tragedy has coloured her work ever since, leading right up to her roaming Grief Rave.

In this conversation, we discuss music by Pulp, New Order, and Prince.

You can follow Annie on Instagram here, explore her website here, and listen to her BBC World Service documentary here.

Bill Hayes is a writer and photographer, recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in nonfiction, and a frequent contributor to the New York Times.

The author of seven books, Bill is perhaps best known for his magical 2017 memoir Insomniac City, covering his move from San Francisco to New York, and his relationship with the groundbreaking neurologist Oliver Sacks.

Bill's taste in music is as diverse as the rest of my guests', but for this conversation, we chose to focus on the inimitable Joni Mitchell and her 1976 album, Hejira.
