Podcasts about Gay News

I have two guests on the podcast today, and they have made something extraordinary together. The first drew queer Britain into being for sixty years and quietly refused to call any of its art. It paid the mortgage. It was cheaper than being a window cleaner. He published the world's first LGBTQ+ graphic novel in 1983, drew for Gay News, Capital Gay and The Guardian, made safer-sex campaigns through the AIDS crisis, and hung a nineteen-metre banner at Carrow Road for Justin Fashanu. All of which he called work - never art. That guest is cartoonist David Shenton. The artist who finally insisted it was art is Ian Giles. Together they have made Kindly Ease the Tension, David's first ever institutional retrospective. It begins with a small burnt doll, dressed in clothes knitted by a boy in a Lancashire terrace house and thrown into the fire by his father. The doll survived. So did the boy. In this conversation we get into what happens when somebody finally calls your sixty years of work art. We talk about the Duvet of Love; an AIDS memorial David stitched in a bedsit that he never meant to be art. We talk about the trans baton being passed in a moment when many in the gay community have gone quiet. We talk about censorship and the rising conservatism in the arts, the works that have to be shown after hours, the double standard between classical nudity and queer images. And we talk about what intergenerational care actually looks like in practice.  David is seventy-seven and says this retrospective has stretched his horizon by another ten years. There is a lesson in that for all of us. KEY TAKEAWAYS Some of the most important opportunities in your career won't arrive through a formal application process. They happen because you care enough to ask the question, start the conversation, or create the thing you wish existed. What feels awkward, unfashionable, or difficult in one chapter of your life may be exactly what gives your work its depth and originality later on - resist the temptation to self-censor. BEST MOMENTS “The work you make at your kitchen table, when nobody is watching, may turn out to be the archive of a generation. Keep going. Pass the baton when it is time.” “I really wanted to live in a world where there was a David Shenton retrospective.” RESOURCES https://www.instagram.com/d.shenton https://www.instagram.com/iangiles https://www.museumscollections.norfolk.gov.uk/collections-object-page?id=NWHCM%20:%202016.221.1 HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

 When Thomas Aikenhead was hanged in 1697 for questioning the Bible, it was the last time someone was executed for blasphemy in Britain. But it didn't mean that debates around blasphemy went away.  In this episode, we'll trace the history of blasphemy in Britain, and discover how debates about insulting religion still shape British law and public life today.  Thomas Aikenhead: last execution for blasphemy in Britain, 1697. Blasphemy's Greek roots: harmful speech, not originally religious. Church and Crown fused; blasphemy protected political order. Percy Shelley expelled for publishing The Necessity of Atheism. Richard Carlile imprisoned for publishing Paine's The Age of Reason. 1977 Gay News case: editor convicted for blasphemous poem. Life of Brian controversy showed debate still alive. Blasphemy law protected Christianity only; Muslims unprotected during Rushdie. 2008 abolition followed debate: protect people, not ideas. Tahir Ali proposed new blasphemy law; government rejected.

The crew hits the Season 2 finale just as Coral prepares to flee to Scotland for a two-week education in "meat and potatoes" culture. Between a record-breaking Free Comic Book Day where doodles sold for $500 and Jeff getting fired from a reality TV gig by a producer obsessed with AI slop, this episode is a farewell to the "sweaty little sweat box" era and a high-end invitation to an alien-themed Michelin-star dinner . This Week's Insanity:FCBD Blowout: The shop saw nearly 800 people for Free Comic Book Day, leading to a secondary market explosion where the Revenge Of exclusive Dungeon Crawler Carl covers are flipping for $200—and one remarked copy sold for nearly $500 . Gay News & Vampire Rock: The group geeks out over Sam Reed's one-night-only Lestat concert in New York and the "box on box" seats Jeff and Joe secured for the Rousey vs. Carano fight . Movie Brain: Reviews of Mother Mary (boring but has Anne Hathaway) and Dust Bunny, featuring Sigourney Weaver wearing "revolver heels" that actually shoot.Reality TV Trauma Dump: Jeff recounts being fired via email at 10:00 PM after a producer replaced his creative design process with "photorealistic AI slop" that defied the laws of physics and depth . BGC Gimmicks: A look back at the "crowning achievement" of building a literal beach—complete with a 20-foot wall and tons of sand—around a rental property pool for Bad Girls Club. Coral's Corner: Coral admits she drives her car in "tomb-like" silence to avoid dissociating or going down one-way streets the wrong way . The Vespertine Finale: Jeff ends the season by booking the crew a 15-course experience at Vespertine, a "hoity-toity" spaceship restaurant where the staff wears robes and the building literally sways . Loose, high-end, and creatively exhausted—this episode is the perfect cliffhanger before we dive into Season 3.New episodes (usually) every week.Only at Revenge Of — where the comics are exclusive, the design is human, and the car rides are silent.

This week's episode kicks off with big shop news, bigger plans, and a Gay News segment that absolutely refuses to end. Jeff, Joe, and Coral are live again, celebrating Revenge Of's upcoming four-year anniversary, unpacking a year-long punch-card scheme that somehow ends with a free pinball machine, and immediately spiraling into pop culture chaos.This Week's Insanity:Four Years of Revenge Of: Limited anniversary merch, double-points days, punch cards, giveaways, and a year-long plan that somehow makes perfect sense when Jeff explains it (eventually).The Longest Gay News Ever: Nicki Minaj discourse, Don Lemon, Sophie Turner as Lara Croft, polygonal boobs, and whether “comic accurate” has gone too far.What We're Watching: The Pitt renewal excitement, eating dinner during body-horror mistakes, Game of Thrones diarrhea discourse, and Netflix admitting they assume you're on your phone.Movies & Media: The Rip gets a strong recommendation, Angel Studios gets fully dragged, and the idea of reviewing evangelical cinema is floated… reluctantly.Bookstore Chaos: Extremely gay smut books arrive at the shop, including titles that raise serious questions about produce, priests, and personal boundaries.Coral's Corner: Scotland planning begins — kilts, fairy pools, drowning fantasies, haggis fear, and the emotional labor of building an itinerary with lesbians and AI.Somehow informative, deeply unserious, and wildly overextended, this episode proves once again that Gay News is no longer a segment — it's a condition.New episodes every week.Only at Revenge Of — where the strawberries are expensive, the rules are strict, and everything is still somehow gay.

Topics discussed on today's show: Rubber Ducky Day, Anal Ring Toss, Mullet Competition, NFL Playoffs, Transgender Athletes, Astronaut Emergency, Gay News, Gut Bacteria, Stock News, Frank the Porch Pirate, Pop Quiz, Use It or Lose It, Frank's Misunderstood Test, Gay Rumors, Music News, All Gender Planet, Exotic Monkeys, You Owe Me Cards, and Apologies.

The team is back from Thanksgiving break with family chaos, bad movie takes, unexpected furry discourse, and a growing fear that Scott absolutely needs a wellness check.This Week's Insanity:Nanny Week: Coral's grandmother arrives with empty suitcases, Ikea plans, and a passionate devotion to The Meg 2 and The Day After Tomorrow.Holiday Movie Opinions: Statham confusion, Wicked drama, and a few films that emotionally wounded the group in different ways.Gay News & Culture: Jumbo's Clown Room lore, Sniffer's Row, and a restaurant collab idea that should not work but somehow does.True Crime Spiral: HBO's Mortician Murder and The Furry Detectives send everyone into an unplanned conversation about zoos (not the animal kind).TV Corner: Stranger Things divides the room, Linda Hamilton brings everyone back together, and Pluribus sparks theories.Coral's Corner: The stray dog is officially adopted (!!), and meanwhile… something is very wrong with Scott. Like medically. Or spiritually. Or both.New episodes every Thursday.Only at Revenge Of — where the movies are questionable and so are our friends.

Welcome to the Revenge of Podcast, your weekly dose of chaos and cultural critique! This week, we're recapping a weekend packed with events that left us completely exhausted. With a new cafe and some seriously wild stories, we're diving headfirst into the absurdity of it all.A Good Muff & Hot Messes: We recap a hectic weekend that included the last LotZilla of the summer and a soft opening for our cafe. Coral, feeling the effects of the weekend, showed up looking like a "hot mess". She credits her favorite new drink, "the Muff," for saving her.Slasher World & Queer Kinks: We discuss the new Slasher World retail experience, a horror-themed setup with iconic locations like the Michael Myers House. This leads to a discussion of the meta-horror film New Nightmare and the surprisingly gay subtext of Nightmare on Elm Street 2. We even talk about the reality of gay bars, including an anecdote about a "puppy pride" party where men in dog masks play with water bottles.The Honey Don't Review: In an unhinged review of the film Honey, Don't, Coral raves about the movie, despite its low Rotten Tomatoes scores, for its "filthy" scenes. She recounts a bar scene that was "the most intense thing I've ever seen" and even ran into a Revenge Of fan in the theater.Feuds, Feet, and Fantasy: We get into a heated debate about wearing flip-flops with jeans ("That is g*y as f*ck" ), the disgust of walking around a house in just socks, and the strange practice of wearing "nighttime socks" to bed. Coral even shares her WikiFeet rating, revealing one foot is "shattered at 1.0".This episode is a high-octane rollercoaster of chaos, controversy, and comedy you won't want to miss!New episodes every Thursday.Only at Revenge Of — where the hot dogs are questionable and the gossip is unhinged.00:00 Introduction and Hosts00:34 Labor Day Discussion01:15 Weekend Recap02:22 Slasher World Experience05:06 Freddy Krueger and Horror Movies07:59 Gay Bars and Kink Parties13:28 Gay News and Twilight Saga18:41 Flip Flops and Jeans Rant20:35 The Importance of House Shoes21:02 Foot Ratings and Wiki Feet21:41 Nighttime Socks and Cold Feet22:42 Flip Flops and Dirty Feet23:45 Downton Abbey Recap32:45 Cole's Corner: Movie Review

Mary Whitehouse successfully sued Gay News and publisher Denis Lemon at the Old Bailey in a trial that began on 11th July, 1977 - Britain's last conviction for blasphemy. What had ired the notorious Christian campaigner was the magazine's publication of “The Love That Dares to Speak Its Name”, a poem by James Kirkup written from the perspective of a Roman centurion who graphically describes having sex with Jesus after his crucifixion. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why the poem literally could not be defended on its artistic merit; reveal how it came to Whitehouse's attention in the first place; and consider the literary potency of ‘Foxy Judas'...  Content Warning: explicit poetry, necrophilia, material likely to offend Christians.

We are diving into some Queer History this week with the incredible Logbook Podcast host, Tash Walker.  Switchboard started in 1974 off the back off the part decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1967. The Gay Liberation Front set up Gay News...which set up a phone line (Switchboard) to deal with the ever-increasing calls from the LGBTQ+ community. Tash came across 'The Logbooks' whilst rummaging through some unopened boxes at Switchboard and discovered the 1974 hand written notes from the volunteers , documenting the calls they were taking. It serves as a unique handwritten diary of LGBTQ+ issues from the 1970s and a snapshot of British queer history. Tash now co-hosts the LogBook podcast and brings us on a fascinating, emotional journey which must be listened to.

Lance Reddick teaches us from Ron DeSantis's new Florida AP African-American Studies course, and tries to differentiate between the villains of the MCU and the villains of the GOP.

One of the Mars Wrigley employees who fell in a molten vat of chocolate (Ana Gasteyer) stops by to talk about labor activism, the upcoming writers strike, and the crushing weight of molten chocolate.

Cover the mirrors and don your kippah, it's time to sit shiva for Lilibit. Grab some nosh and swap stories of Her Highness with Senator Bernie Sanders (James Adomian). Enjoy the dulcet tones of the very real bagpiper playing Hava Nagila as Brandon Kyle Goodman and Sam Pancake pay homage to Her Majesty's famously sharp sense of humor with some Gay News. If you drop your coat on the bed with all the coats, just avoid MyPillow's own Mike Lindell (also James Adomian), who got an invite as well. Guy Branum brought some rugelach to share with Zachary Schiffman as they decide if the British or the Jewish have better food. And though we all appreciate a stiff upper lip, some ranting never hurt anyone.  Show notes:ANCA.org/907alert
