How can we use stories as part of the fight back against anti-LGBTQIA+ narratives?

At an acute time for our community, stories are a powerful tool to unpack prejudice and set a better narrative for queer communities.

But what can the media industry do differently, and how can we do this in the audio and podcast space? Join us for an insider goss look at what it's like to tackle this question as a media professional. By sharing this to our audience, we hope you can better understand the way the media works. The more we understand how it works, the better we can advocate for its change.

In this 30-minute panel, with a short Q&A we ask our expert guests what we can do to ensure the stories we tell about LGBTQIA+ lives do justice to the community in engaging, entertaining and high-impact ways.

Episode Credits: Hosted and chaired by QueerAF's Jamie Wareham and joined by Ki Griffin (Hollyoaks actor, producer of a QueerAF podcast for Trans+ History Week), Phil Samba (Host of The Other Blue Pill documentary podcast, Love Tank and PrEPster) and Holly Newson (Executive producer, most recently of the British Podcast Award's 'Gold Podcast Of The Year' Press, Play, Turn On).
