Sapphic Voices aims to give a voice to queer creative women in Brighton and beyond. Hosted by Leanne Mckenzie and sidekick and wife, Katie Lambert of Twig Wish Arts, the programme features queer and non-queer creatives sharing their passion, skills and knowledge in friendly interviews. Each show follows a theme such as women loving women representation in film and television. Programmes will feature segments reviewing and commenting on films, exploring creative courses in Brighton and Hove, highlighting women loving women tropes, telling stories, singing songs (if our listeners are particularly unlucky) and having long, meaningful discussions on long, meaningful subjects. And of course there'll be plenty of your hosts favourite tunes - most often female singers from the 80s and 90s.
We will tell the first of our stories of Warrior Women from around the world with the enchanting Khutulun - unbeaten Mongolian wrestling champion and all-round warrior princess.We will also be dipping into the world of ancient Greece with the likes of Diogenes and the Cynics (should be the title of a band!).Not only this but a repeat of Chapter 1 of our sapphic audio drama At Last. Plus we'll be film chatting about Spanish sapphic film 80 days and playing some excellent tunes to go with it all.

Some of you might have seen TV drama 'It's A Sin' on Channel 4 over the last few weeks. The drama tells the story of the devastating impact of the AIDS virus on a group of friends living in London during the 80s. We wanted to talk to some of the lesbians who lived through this time and lost friends and colleagues to AIDS and who worked with those living with the virus. We were really lucky to find some amazing people to talk to about these times, including Ash Kotak of the AIDS Memory UK Campaign. Leanne also got the opportunity to have a great chat with Jamie Patterson, director of sapphic film 'Justine'. Set in Brighton - Justine is a love story which looks at the search for love and belonging in a chaotic world. The film will be available to watch online on Curzon Home Cinema from 5th March.
