Such a special podcast! These stories need to be heard, and should never be forgotten. Adam & Tash are such good interviewers. Thanks Stephen
One of my favourite podcasts. Adam and Tash have such a thoughtful, sensitive and considerate approach as podcast hosts as they delve into The Logbooks - such an interesting area of queer history. Thank you!
I used to log the log books, and frequently recommended it to others! However, the ads in the current season have ruined it and you miss so much now when skipping them. I wish it was possible to support them without the ads.

The show blends personal memoir with LGBTQ+ history, interview-driven storytelling, and archival insight, often anchored by conversations with activists, historians, journalists, and community organizers. Episodes regularly center on intergenerational perspectives, archives, and the lived experiences of queer communities in the UK, especially around Switchboard, Clause 28, and grassroots activism. A notable strength is its craft in weaving intimate personal narrative with broader social history, producing a tender, rigorous portrait of LGBTQ+ life across decades. Listeners often praise the deeply human storytelling, the careful handling of sensitive topics, and the accessible access to archival material and community voices.
