Episode 5: The importance of queer media for people in isolated environments
In today’s episode, we’re looking at the importance of queer media and, in particular, the lifeline it provides for people in rural areas. Whilst city life can provide a community of acceptance for those who identify as LGBTQ+, living in more remote areas can leave these people feeling isolated. Jamie Windust talks to us about the role of queer publications in speaking to people in all corners of the world and providing them with authentic, real stories.

Episode 4: Is the media misrepresenting violent acts against women?
In today’s episode, we’re tackling a difficult topic: violence against women and girls. The death of Sarah Everard in March 2021 has brought issues surrounding violence against women to the forefront of our minds and under increased media spotlight. But to what extent is our news coverage portraying an accurate presentation of these issues?

Episode 3: Moving digital - the future of arts and performance
In today’s episode, we’re taking a look at digital performance as it becomes an evermore important medium in the future of the arts, not least since the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic. Like many others, theatre professionals have moved to remote day-to-day working, as well as adapting their shows so that audiences can participate from their homes. We ask how the emergence of digital technologies is changing the way performers interact with their audience.
