14th October 'Nolan Investigates' podcast - Stonewall?

[Helleofabore]

This sounds interesting.

A special ‘Nolan Investigates’ podcast drops tomorrow afternoon on @BBCSounds. An 18 month investigation into the influence of a lobby group on public bodies throughout the UK. More details in the morning

It seems to be about Stonewall.

Anyone know more about it?

There is some chatter about it on Twitter.

(Tweet from JCJ says:

Okay, at last, here it is.

The BBC Ulster documentary on the influence of Stonewall on public life in the UK.

Many GC women have been interviewed for this.

Let's take the lid off this thing shall we?

It's like Sasha Baron Cohen getting politicians to say and do WHAT on film.

I'm sure this is a "soft launch" of examining the WHOLE thing, someone at the BBC has had a letter from Baroness Nicholson's finding from her webinairs, has actually heard the issue, and absolutely shit their pants.

@BoreOfWhabylon

It explains why there has been a distinct shift, certainly on BBC Radio 4, recently. Justin Fletcher and Emma Barnett in particular have been doing superbly, asking the hard questions.

I just hope Jenni Murray is feeling vindicated.

Mr Tumble??

Hurcum is Ep4 "Being non-binary in the UK"

I have to admit I have had to pause listening to episode 4, just after the explanation that having green can be an example of queer coding.

Obviously unaware of punks, goths and alternatives.

Gosh, can’t wait for LOJs reaction to the BBC putting this out.

Gosh, can’t wait for LOJs reaction to the BBC putting this out.

I've been checking his twitter all evening.

Mr Tumble??

Oh, nooooooo!
I meant Justin Webb from R4 Today programme, not Justin Fletcher

I've been checking his twitter all evening.

It's possible the well known YouTuber is preparing content for his channel on this topic? And simultaneously participating in several WhatsApp groups?

This is amazing! So comprehensive and clear, I'm only on episode 3 so far, but this is something I can forward to friends and relatives.
P.s. Justin Fletcher 😂😂

My teenage kids are experiencing their single mother totally disengaged tonight. I said mum is dealing with all the shit you are rolling your eyes at at school. First time for ages I have heard. Thanks mum.

A turning point, surely. Bravo to all involved!!!

Blah blah 'most marginalised people' blah blah 'shame of our national broadcaster' blah blah 'suicide' blah blah 'wrong side of history'.

Go on LOJ. Surprise us.

Meanwhile whilst LOJ is railing. My teenagers are clapping.

Thanks Jaysmith.

Thanks for posting. I can't wait to listen to this

Go on LOJ. Surprise us.

Maybe it will peak him.

I've listened to the end of episode 4 - had to stop after the non binary burble for a break. It reminded me of that classic Morecombe & Wise sketch with Andre Previn about playing all the right notes, just not necessarily in the right order

I knew I was listening to English being spoken but the words didn't join together to make coherent sense.

However, fair play to the BBC for finally allowing an analysis of their own failings in relation to their inappropriate relationship with a partisan political group.

Have listened to 1 and 2. Has anyone listened to the end? Need a spolier on thé conclusion!

Oooh yeah.

'You know guys, I've been thinking and...well, maybe I was a bit hasty with all this TERF stuff'

Is Jane Clare Jones in a particular episode?

The David Bell episode is a belter.

I've never listened to Nolan before.

I have developed a massive crush on him and I'm only three episodes in.

The Stonewall response in memes...

I believe all the real work was done by the investigative journalist (can't remember his name but in the first episode, I think).

Nolan asks the faux-naive "man in the street" type questions though, and does it very very well.

Anyone who brings Ben Cohen's wobbly voice on with a simple question is someone who can join my gang anytime.
