It's panto season! So, episode ten is panto themed!

This episode features the first story that I've written just for the podcast! You'll be the very first people to hear it! It's called 'Mama G's Great Panto Dame Off'! And my Book of the Week is 'Prince and Knight' by Daniel Haack and Stevie Lewis. I'm promoting this book because recently it was the subject of some controversy in the US, so it needs our support. You can read about it here: https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2019/11/23/prince-and-knight-daniel-haack-west-virginia-glaad-backash/

AND this episode features an interview with the lovely Leanne Jones, who was the original Tracy Turnblad when 'Hairspray' opened in London. You can find out more about Leanne on Twitter: @Leanne_Jones or Instagram: @leanne_jonesinsta.

This week is all about real life stories (or, non-fiction, if you will!) with my biography of Valentina Tereshkova, the first lady ever to go into space and my book of the week: 'Laika' by Owen Davey, which is about the first, um, dog to ever go into space!

This week there are also shout outs for London's Unicorn Theatre, an amazing theatre for children! And 'Judy and Punch', a rather wonderful film I saw last week!

Welcome to Episode 8!

This week's story is 'The Mousehole Riots' and this week's book of the week is 'The Black Flamingo' by Dean Atta.

For those listening with younger Mama G fans: this episode talks about Stonewall and commemorates #InternationalTransgenderDayOfRememberance. If you need more information to answer any questions, I found these Wikipedia articles useful starting points:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonewall_riots

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsha_P._Johnson

And the work of those pioneers continues through organisations such as https://www.stonewall.org.uk/, which is an incredible UK based charity.
