Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stacey Copeland, "Lavender Sounds: From Lesbian Radio to Queer Feminist Soundwork" (U Michigan Press, 2026)

Q: What's next for you?

She describes moving to the Netherlands to study LGBTQ radio history there, with a four-year project examining how Dutch LGBTQ radio shows circulated information during the AIDS crisis and how sound work navigates regulatory and policy contexts in a new archival landscape.

Stacey Copeland, "Lavender Sounds: From Lesbian Radio to Queer Feminist Soundwork" (U Michigan Press, 2026)

Q: How do you define and employ queer feminism in your work?

Copeland discusses queer feminism as a fusion of LGBTQ activism with feminist political aims, emphasizing intersectionality, representation, and a focus on gender equity within media practice, while acknowledging strategic choices about which identity markers to foreground in different research contexts.

Stacey Copeland, "Lavender Sounds: From Lesbian Radio to Queer Feminist Soundwork" (U Michigan Press, 2026)

Q: What else should listeners know about The Lesbian Show and Dykes on Mykes?

The episode centers two Canadian community radio histories, highlighting how naming, access to archives, and local broadcasting policies shaped queer visibility, and how later works like The Heart and other projects translate those politics to broader audiences while maintaining community roots.

Can I Say That: Your Go-To Guide for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Q: Could you just briefly share with us what active allyship is and how that might help support inclusion?

Active allyship is a lifelong process of building and nurturing supportive relationships with those from underrepresented groups, moving from passive to active, consistent behaviors that shift cultures, mindsets and systems; it involves practical behaviors to enable change.

Laura Tisdall, "We Have Come to Be Destroyed: Growing Up in Cold War Britain" (Yale UP, 2026)

Q: What inspired you to write a history of Cold War Britain from the perspective of children and young people?

Laura explains that she initially approached the topic from a broader history of childhood in schools, but discovered a rich, underutilized archive of writings and studies by young people themselves. This prompted a shift to foreground the voices of youth to reveal how the era's politics and culture looked through their eyes, challenging existing historiography.
