Jim then talked to Konnor Griffin, the top-ranked high school player in the Draft, before conversation shifted to the Draft League and the arrival of Japanese teen sensation Rintaro Sasaki to play in it before heading to Stanford for college ball.

This is just episode one, of QueerAF's new podcast about Monkeypox. it has stories and resources without shame or stigma - "It's what I wish I'd had." Listen to the whole series by searching 'What The Pox?'... Monkeypox. That's what What The Pox? is all about - a ‘poxcast' if you will. Quite a lot of people have got it or had it at this point. I'm one of them. And it was not fun.When I was home alone with Monkeypox in all kinds of pain, feeling scared and alone I had very little information. So I went online to find help.And guess what? There wasn't much official advice.But I did start talking to all kinds of people: experts, people who've had the virus, and to those who see this outbreak as part of a much bigger picture. We've spoken to those on the frontline of the response, and trying to understand this virus, including at 56 Dean Street, NAM Aidsmap, Prepster, Love Tank, London School of Hygine and Tropical Medicine and many more. It features contributors from the UK and US. What The Pox is the information and support I wish I had at my disposal when I was going through Monkeypox.Monkeypox is spreading worldwide - and for many of us queer people, the response feels a bit too familiar. You see history rarely repeats - but it often rhymes.Tune in to steal our insight on this virus, what it means for our community and how we should handle it. Together, let's work out just What The Pox? is going on?Listen to understand:What we know about the virus, and how it spreadsWhy we feel shame and stigma about catching itWhat the parallels are with the HIV outbreak in the 80sWhy this sits in a bigger picture with conversations about queer sex and health inequalitiesAnd crucially: What can we do next?Because before you start listening: I'll let you in on a secret - we have the tools to manage this outbreak; we've just got to use them.It comes out every Wednesday, or you can sign up to support our show - and unlock all the episodes as soon as they are ready in the archive coming soon below. The first episode is out 7 Sep, 2022.Let's keep the conversation frank, honest, open and alive. Because, to borrow a phrase, silence = pox.Hosted by me, Martin Joseph, an award-winning podcaster and comedian. What The Pox? is a QueerAF production.

In the 90s, if two men had sex and one was under 21, both could be imprisoned, while straight people could legally have sex at age 16. This inequality could not last, and that's thanks to campaigners such as Hugo Greenhalgh and Euan Sutherland, supported by Stonewall. This is the story of their campaign to equalise the law, and of the Switchboard volunteers who helped.

The long months of lockdown have forced the closure of events, nightlife, and social gatherings for everyone.But for LGBT+ people they've threatened the future of spaces that are a safe haven, providing a vital community, emotional support and helping to validate identities. So, as society starts to open up again, what legacy could the pandemic leave on these marginalised communities? ITV News UK Editor Paul Brand hears from the co-founder of queer club night Gal Pals, Scarlett Langdon, who explains how their virtual parties reached a wider audience and how they hope to keep that online spirit alive when they reopen for real.And Dr Will Nutland, a sexual health advocate and co-founder of PrEPster, shares how he found ways to help people isolated during the pandemic and how Covid has redefined what 'community' means - amid his own sustained private battle with the virus.

Inspired by the American direct action group of the same name, Queer Nation was a club night that started in London in 1990 and quickly built a reputation as an attitude free, affordable and welcoming night that played the best in soulful house. And my guest this week is the activist, health promoter, and mentor Marc Thompson, who tells me why the night is so dear to his heart. As well as being an absolute sweetheart Marc has an incredibly impressive CV and I'm just going to break down a few of his accomplishments. He is: Co-director of The Love Tank (http://thelovetank.info/), a community interest company that promotes health and wellbeing of under-served communities through education, capacity building and research, Co-founder of Prepster.info (https://prepster.info/), a community based intervention that aims to educate and agitate for PreP access in England and beyond. Co-founder of Blackout UK (https://blkoutuk.com/about/) a movement dedicated to working with and building safe spaces for Black gay men. Key to all of this work is a focus on Black and queer communities, sexual health and HIV, and he is particularly interested in the intersection of race, sexuality and HIV. Ah, and a quick note - the club got around, having been hosted in venues including Fire, Crash, and Barcode, but the era that we focus on in our conversation is in its early days at Gardening Club, where it first started, and Substation South.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: In this special episode we have an extremely exciting special guest; award-winning activist Marc Thompson. Marc has had an incredible career and achieved some incredible strides against stigma. Speaking out against stigma, racism, and homophobia. He is one of the founders of Prepster the leading campaign in the UK for PREP as well as Black Out UK an amazing digital space to empower and inspire black gay men in the UK. This is an incredible honour for us, Marc is a dear friend but is also an incredible Activist and we couldn't be more proud of him and the spectacular things he has achieved.

The 23-year-old singer, songwriter, and musician, is a spark of light for the Pop/Rock genre. Born in California, raised in Brooklyn, her bohemian east village style is subtle, fly, and relatable. Her experience growing up in a church choir, gives her music an airy and optimistic feel. Krissy Krissy’s debut single “Dream” hit iTunes on March 20 and has been making waves ever since. Debuting in the TOP 10 at Clear Channels I Heart Radio. The popularity of her debut video for “Dream” landed it a featured spot on MTV.com, and it has over 16,000 hits on YouTube. MTVu recently featured “Dream” on its Freshman Pick of the week contest where it competed against four talented up and coming artists; Krissy Krissy won the contest. In the blog and media world, New York City tastemaker, Vashtie featured Krissy Krissy on her blog, saying, “Check out this rising star, Krissy Krissy, just some good old real music.” Along with that, popular German blog ‘Urbanista’ listed her as an inspiration, ‘Remington’s World’ blogged about her, “Creating beautiful art in the form of Pop/Rock songs,” then ‘Prepster’ choose “Dream” as a favorite of the week and, ‘Kara Ali’ blogged, “the video for the single “Dream” is off the chain!” In Krissy’s own words, “Dream Is a song that captures where I started and the determination I have to get to where I want will be. There’s nothin impossible.” W5H Media said it best, “It has been a long time since I heard a good pop rock song. The 90′s had a good share of artists that represented and gave the genre a well-deserved spot. But since then, only a hand full of individuals have managed to make an impact on the music industry. It’s said that talent sometimes skips generations and that just might be the case. Here comes Krissy Krissy.” Krissy Krissy will be opening for Kara Ali this summer on the “Cheap Red Wine” Tour, and other tour dates will be announced. Her second single “Suspicious” just made its debut on iTunes and she is finishing her first full EP “Above All.” For more info: http://www.indiereviewcd.com https://twitter.com/IndieRevue https://www.instagram.com/indie.review https://www.facebook.com/indie.review --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/indie-review/support
