I listen to this podcast whilst I'm working. It's not heavyweight,but entertaining and passes the time.
All of the cases are commented on by professionals either working in the fields associated,or members of the communities affected. For instance,the episode about the death of an indigenous child in Australia,had a member of the modern day community explaining what had and hadn't changed in the intervening years,and the effect that more recent government policies was having. It was really interesting,and have me a lot to think about.
One of the other episodes was about a very young lesbian couple,in the southern US at the end of the 19th century. There were two lesbian commentators and a bit of talk about how historically and contemporarily,lesbians are not given the cultural exposure that they merit. Excellent,thought I,about time this was mentioned.
One of the commentators started talking about who gets to use what bathroom,and the ban on drag queens in public places. Then we get another person popping up. Yes,you guessed it,on a programme bemoaning the visibility of lesbians,the person they chose to talk about their experience,is a drag queen. Quite what a man has to tell us about lesbian invisibility,I don't know,as I skipped forward until I got back to the historical discussion again.
Depressing,but I shouldn't have expected anything else really,as it's a BBC production,and I should have realised where it was going as soon as the word 'queer' started being used.
