Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

David Hoyle on the right to live in a perpetual state of ecstasy
Q: How did your early life in Blackpool shape your art and outlook?
He recalls a community rooted in glamour and performance, contrasted with a harsh political climate, which forged his belief in chosen families, theatre as refuge, and the need to push boundaries.
David Hoyle on the right to live in a perpetual state of ecstasy
Q: What does living in a perpetual state of ecstasy mean to you?
Hoyle describes it as a collective, joyful resistance to a system that tries to commodify life, emphasizing freedom, connection, and a psychedelic reimagining of society.
Malaya Bayanihan (@babydilfx) on George Michael, the Spice Girls, and a queer utopian future
Q: Tell me, what track did you pick and why?
I chose Freedom by George Michael because the birth name Malaya signifies freedom, and the song became a personal anthem for liberating love and self-definition, especially during a time of personal danger and mortality.
Lea DeLaria on scatting (the jazz sort)
Q: Do you think jazz can be queer?
Yes, she argues that jazz has always existed on the outside and has been a haven for queer artists, making room for unapologetic self‑expression and experimentation.
Daniel Nour on Aladdin's bare chest, progressive Christianity, and Rahim Redcar
Q: What role does faith play in your life as a queer person from an Egyptian Christian background?
He discusses faith as a source of comfort and struggle, highlighting the existence of queer people of faith and the need for representation in religious spaces.
