Calum McSwiggan

We finished our final LGBT+ History Month special with a bang with Rowan Ellis and Anick in the studio talking about the forgotten letters, I and A (Intersex and Asexual). Rowan spoke about the different types of asexuality on the spectrum and the difference between asexual and aromance, and Anick told Calum all about what it means to be intersex and why ‘I’ should be included as part of LGBTQI+.

We had a fun packed show for our third LGBT+ History Month special on "disabilities". Learning disability nurse Ben Taylor spoke about the LGBT+ and sex education he gives to young people with disabilities. Sue Sanders, Chair of LGBT+ History Month, joined us on the phone to talk about this special celebratory month and all the exciting events that are going on. Finally we had the super sassy Drag Syndrome in to talk to Calum about their live shows and how they transform on stage.

For our second LGBT+ History Month special on ‘students’, we had a whole bunch of people popping in to speak to Calum. We heard from activist Philip Baldwin who told us about his experiences as a student. We had a round table discussion with Luca Mitchell from Student Pride, NUS LGBT officer Eden Ladley, and children’s author Olly Pike. Author L.C. Rosen also spoke about his new book Jack of Hearts (and Other Parts).

On the first of our LGBT History Month specials, comedian Mawaan Rizwan and activist Alexander Leon joined Calum for our ‘People of Colour’ episode. They talked representation, and the rebooted LGBT+ flag, out LGBT+ icons and if ‘people of colour’ is actually an ok term to use.
