This week's standalone interview is with drag queen, musician and HIV activist Veda. I've been admiring Veda's drag for a frankly shocking number of years now, but have been even more impressed by her work in HIV activism. Veda co-hosts Poz VIbe with fellow HIV activist Robbie Lawlor, 'a podcast for People Living With HIV, their friends, family and allies trying to create change and spread positive vibrations', and their activism has seen them travel the world. Veda's latest project is a short film about her life. Pregnant with a Drag Queen, is super camp and fun, and will air on Virgin Media One on Tuesday the 27th at 11pm, but you can also catch it on the player. I caught up with Veda this week to chat about the film, her life, her work, and what it was like to be young and gay in 90s Dublin. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
