Podcast appearances and mentions of huw lemmey

Langdon and Eden tackle linear time and how World War II, and its retellings, fit in with our cultural memories of the past. Then, they dive into the fragmented, gorgeous, and shocking Unknown Language, a tale shifting rapidly between alternative presents, futures, holy wars, love, and violence, all through the inimitable and kaleidoscopic lens of Hildegard von Bingen, Huw Lemmey, Bhanu Kapil and Alice Spawls! Music played: Tides From Nebula - Fearflood https://tidesfromnebulaofficial.bandcamp.com/track/fearflood-2 Pale - Almost Transparent Blue https://paleofband.bandcamp.com/track/almost-transparent-blue

Sure, top floors have a striking erotic connotation; they're also the perfect vantage point to peer into the lives of others. High above Barcelona, yet grounded in sensuality, Huw Lemmey shares his admiration for Nazario Vera, the underground comic artist renowned for his punchy, sharp, and flamboyant portrayals of queer life. A cultural icon throughout the seventies and eighties, Nazario uses his stories to mock conventional sexual morals, especially through his memorable contributions and covers for El Víbora, a periodical that captured daily life, gritty bars with dusty decor, and the eclectic crowd gathered under the crumpled palm trees of Plaza Real. His detective, Anarcoma, endures as a symbol of sexual liberation to this day. Let's soar above Barcelona without delay to listen to Huw Lemmey's top-floor insights.Written by Huw Lemmey. Introduction and outro voiced by Johnny Vivash. Editing and sound design by Tobias Withers. Credits to Alban Schelbert for the sound clips. Curated by Justine Gensse.

Ever wondered why so many gays throughout history are so tragic, resilient and brave? This month Casement's Leftovers set fire to condescending stereotypes with incomparable author and historian Huw Lemmey. Huw  -along with his co-host and author Ben Miller- have released the essential read; "Bad Gays", which explores identity formation and some of the more icky homosexuals which didn't make the draft for Pride month martyrs. Helen and Glen chat with Huw about awful gays, how same sex attraction has been characterised throughout history and what terrible dead queens can tell us about queers today.This christmas be sure to play this episode around conservative family members. Maybe turn it into a drinking game. Every time we say a slur, you take a shot? Merry Christmas to you and yours! Support the show

L'80° puntata di Illuminismo psichedelico è andata in scena il 9 novembre dal vivo al Fanfulla di Roma, insieme a Federico di Vita c'erano lo scrittore inglese Huw Lemmey, ed Enrico Gullo, nell'occasione in veste di interprete simultaneo (nonché traduttore del libro di Lemmey di cui abbiamo parlato durante l'incontro). Huw Lemmey ha infatti da poco pubblicato in Italia, con Timeo, un libro intitolato "Lingua Ignota", peculiarmente firmato insieme alla mistica tedesca vissuta a cavallo tra XI e XII secolo Ildegarda di Bingen, a sua volta autrice di una "Lingua Ignota". Ildegarda era una eretica visionaria, e insieme a Huw Lemmey abbiamo cercato di indagare la grana psichedelica delle sue visioni, benché sia impossibile a tanti secoli di distanza affermare che facesse uso di sostanze o farne alcuna diagnosi clinica, è al contrario evidente che l'impronta della sua esperienza mistica aveva una matrice da tipico "stato apicale", cui si può accedere per diverse vie.[Per questioni di fruibilità in questa puntata abbiamo mantenuto solo la traduzione delle risposte di Lemmey fatta dal vivo da Enrico Gullo]

Twenty-six years ago, for the 35th New York Film Festival, curators Gavin Smith and Mark McElhatten introduced the festival's experimental sidebar, Views from the Avant-Garde.While their inaugural program featured names like Stan Brakhage, Gregory Markopoulos, and Nathaniel Dorsky, it also opened a space where voices experimenting with cinema's language might meet new audiences. In the festival's intervening years, the vocabulary around this type of cinema evolved and Views from the Avant-Garde has since transformed, first into Projections and then into its most recent incarnation, Currents.When Currents was first announced in 2020, it was also the first year of Docs in Orbit, and every year since, it's been where we have encountered gems of the festival to bring into conversation, such as My Mexican Bretzel by Nuria Giménez (NYFF58), A Night of Knowing Nothing by Payal Kapadia (NYFF59), and Rewind & Play by Alain Gomis (NYFF60).So, for this year's edition, we decided to focus more intently on their programming to get a behind-the-scenes look at their curatorial approach. In today's episode, I sit down with the curators of Currents at the 61st New York Film Festival. Our guests are Aily Nash, Rachael Rakes, and Tyler Wilson. They put together an exciting collection of films, which we'll explore, and what sets Currents apart from other programs in New York and abroad.

On last week's Sewers of Paris podcast I spoke with Ben Miller of the Bad Gays book and podcast. This week I'm talking to his co-host and co-author, Huw Lemmey, a writer whose work investigates the disgusting. It's an unlikely fascination, one borne out of attitudes he heard expressed about queer people when he was growing up. In looking at the realities of human life, from its best to its worst, Huw's writing has evolved from asking whether people can be loveable despite being gross … to whether they are lovable because they are gross.Also, a couple quick reminders, starting with a heads-up that I've got a new video coming your way this weekend on YouTube! This one's about the behind the scenes making of the film Some Like it Hot. Join me Sunday at 11am pacific at youtube.com/mattbaume for a livestream and then the premiere of the video.And I hope you'll join me for weekly livestreams over on Twitch! Every Sunday afternoon we watch and talk about classic episodes of television, great movies, and occasionally old commercials that have a way of sticking with you. That's at twitch.tv/mattbaume every Sunday.And if you haven't yet, take a look at my new book about the history of queer characters on sitcoms, Hi Honey, I'm Homo! — available now wherever books are sold. It's the book that Dan Savage called “a triumph” and said “everyone should read this book.” So you should! Go to gaysitcoms.com to get a copy and request a personalized signature.

Histories of gay men, lesbians, queer and trans people often focus on the heroic. But what about the gay characters whose impact on history was far more ambiguous, or complicated, or out-and-out bad? Ben Miller and Huw Lemmey, hosts of the Bad Gays podcast and authors of Bad Gays: A Homosexual History, discuss what those complicated lives can tell us about the dynamics of queer history and the formation of sexual identities.

Ben begins by explaining the origin story for how the "Bad Gays" podcast was created, and how he and Huw met. Andrew asks why the word choice "Bad" instead of say "Evil" was chosen? Don't worry, Ben has an answer. Ben opens up about the need for more mature, deep, conversations on queer topics. Something past Queer Theory "101." Right now, there's a need for collective conversations on what queer politics looks like and how to fight the backlash against the LGBTQ+ community. Ben and Andrew then discuss what obtaining a PhD means to them, and they discuss the common misconception that you're expected to become a professor after receiving your doctorate. What do we do about the crisis in academia regarding low pay and compensation of work? And then Ben returns to what makes "Bad Gays" such a thrilling podcast and book, how it's "part revisionist history and part historical biography." It "subverts the notion of gay icons and queer heroes and asks what we can learn about LGBTQ history, sexuality and identity through its villains and baddies."

We're joined by writer and podcaster Huw Lemmey, author of "Bad Gays: A Homosexual History", to discuss his recent substack essay on the Cry Laugh Emoji, and its links to British 'banter' culture and cultural encouragement of cruelty. We discuss how concepts of accepted cruelty as social relations became digitally mediated, and how the cry-laugh emoji embodies the worst elements of it, as well as a broader, political effort to enshrine dehumanisation into policy-making. We discuss how and why the emoji is used, why it clogs up our facebook feeds, and why, regardless of who wins or loses an election, it's ultimately the cry-laugh emoji that rules over the British Isles.  -------- Read Huw's essay on substack here: https://t.co/1MoivjXLVp Follow and listen to Bad Gays pod, here: https://twitter.com/BadGaysPod  

Following from December 2021's Resonance 104.4fm show on the cultural impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic with James Butler and Sarah Schulman, Juliet talks to writer Huw Lemmey about Channel 4's landmark miniseries 'It's a Sin'. Written by Russell T. Davies and broadcast across January and February 2021, 'It's a Sin' follows a group of friends who meet on London's gay scene in September 1981, just as the first British cases are being diagnosed, and charts the impact of HIV/AIDS on their sex lives, relationships, families, friendships and careers over the following decade. In this subscriber-only episode on the miniseries, Juliet and Huw talk about the conservatism of British television and their reluctance to commission it; critical reactions to the show, and call-backs to the 1980s ‘moral panic' about homosexuality; Davies' skill in writing for television; how the programme looks at the personal impact of HIV/AIDS, and its portrayal of LGBT activism and its relationship with wider British politics; and how 'It's a Sin' is ultimately a show about care, and how it represents models of queer (and straight) kinship.

In this extract from our subscriber-only show about 'It’s a Sin', Russell T. Davies’ recent mini-series for Channel 4 about the effects of the HIV/AIDS crisis on a group of friends living in London between 1981 and 1991, Juliet and writer Huw Lemmey talk about how the show portrays both the personal and the wider political impact. They talk about the role that the main female character, Jill (played by Lydia West) plays in the narrative, ideas of chosen family and the way It’s a Sin handles the politics of care, and how they are gendered within gay and queer communities.

In this episode, Huw Lemmey takes us on a tour through London to explore the twentieth-century world of spies and sex, crime and cruising. He discusses the class composition of British homosexuality, collusion between queers and the state's security apparatus, moral panics around sexuality, anti-communism, and more. Felix and I then have a conversation with him about this mind-bending history.

See here for full episode: patreon.com/aqnbIn this episode Jared talks with Huw Lemmey, a writer whose novels create alternate imaginings of the present, casting a critical and at times satirical eye on topics from politics to belief systems, gay culture to psychotropic drugs.Having relocated from the UK to Barcelona, Huw is the author of novels including Unknown Language via Ignota Books, Red Tory: My Corbyn Chemsex Hell from Montez Press, and a prolific critic having written for the Guardian, Frieze, Flash Art as well as his regular essay series on the Substack platform, Utopian Drivel.

In the fifth and final episode before Christmas, Tom speaks with Huw Lemmey and Ben Miller, the hosts of Bad Gays podcast about the resignation of right-wing Hungarian MEP József Szájer. Bad Gays is a podcast about "evil and complicated queers in history." The show has 4 seasons and has covered people such as Benjamin Britten, Gertrude Stein, Morrissey and many, many more. For this episode, the discussion was pegged to the news story of József Szájer — a long-term member of Hungary's far-right ruling Fidesz Party which has passed a series of laws persecuting the freedoms of the LGBTQ community. In December, Szájer's resigned from the party after being caught at a reported gay sex party in Brussels. Tom, Huw and Ben discuss this story and explore some of the other main themes from the Bad Gays podcast.

Writer and podcaster Huw Lemmey talks about that time a late-night Grindr hookup went sideways, and what happened next. Sometimes, relying on the kindness of strangers is exactly what you need. Other times... Not so much. Time to be brave. (Apologies for the slight sound quality issues this week - we were working from backup mics instead of the usual high-quality ones.

Ever since September 2015, when the allegation emerged that the Prime Minister, David Cameron, had performed a sex act on a dead pig as a student, British politics has entered a strange new reality, in which satire has endlessly been pronounced dead. In this edition of Suite (212) Extra, Juliet talks to Huw Lemmey about how to make fun of the age of austerity and absurdism, polarisation and pigfucking, focusing on Huw's new book, Red Tory: My Corbyn Chemsex Hell.

Coming soon on this feed, it's Bad Gays: a podcast about evil and complicated gay men in history hosted by Huw Lemmey and Ben Miller. 

Recorded live in Birmingham during Grand Union’s ‘Ways of Learning’ exhibition, this episode of Suite (212) Extra discusses queer consciousness-raising. Juliet talks to writer/artist Huw Lemmey about LGBTQI+ activism before and after the Stonewall riots of June 1969 in the US and western Europe; the use of direct action and think-ins by the Gay Liberation Front and others; how AIDS and Section 28 changed queer art and activism; the development of trans theory in the 1990s; and the state of queer politics and creativity today.

Writers Juliet Jacques and Huw Lemmey are back in the saddle to conclude our lengthy discussion of Juliet's time in the mainstream liberal press and the structural barriers that make it a difficult medium through which to convey left-wing ideas. We read from two superb pieces by Joe Kennedy (see bottom of description for links), discuss the dynamics and power relations between public figures and their "trolls", how the social media wars of the early 2010s dovetailed into those of the Corbyn era, and which prominent nerd's stapler narrowly avoided a jelly-related fate. Read Joe Kennedy's piece on The Stuplime Object of Ideology on newsocialist.org.uk: https://newsocialist.org.uk/the-stuplime-object-of-ideology/ and his piece on Non-Linear Borefare here: http://adrawingsympathy.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/non-linear-borefare.html Buy Juliet's autobiographical work, Trans: A Memoir, here: https://www.versobooks.com/books/2158-trans and listen to her Resonance FM radio show on Souncloud @Suite-212 And buy Huw's seminally titled novel, Chubz: the Demonisation of My Working Arse, here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Chubz-Demonization-My-Working-Arse/dp/3945247101

In the first of a two-part conversation, Laura and Jack are joined by the writers Juliet Jacques (author of Trans: A Memoir, host of Suite (212) on Resonance FM, and contributor to the Guardian, the New Statesman & elsewhere) and Huw Lemmey (author of Chubz: the Demonisation of my Working Arse, and contributor to the London Review of Books, New Humanist, Huck & elsewhere) so Juliet can tell the story of her rise through the ranks of the mainstream liberal press in the 2000s and 2010s, and how she came to decide she wanted out of journalism. With assistance from her friend Huw, Juliet frames the narrative around the recent comeback of the serial plagiarist charlatan hack Johann Hari, a figure who continues to loom large in British comment journalism long after his broadsheet career came crashing to an ignominious halt in 2011. This is (the first part of) the story of a writer's attempt to smuggle both a better representation of transgender people, and leftist ideas in general, into an insular and elitist industry.
