SEASON 2
In winter 2020, when the world had been in and out of lockdowns since March, it was announced that the UK would face further restrictions during the Christmas period.
Understanding how difficult this period is generally for LGBTQ+ people, we returned to the podcast to continue where we left off. The 21-month break brought a renewed lightness to the conversation, and we were lucky enough to pick the brains of some incredibly talented people. We also produced a set of special episodes for LGBTQ+ History Month and Pride 2021 and had our first external partnership with Jo Malone London.
