SummaryThis special episode brings together five queer musicians reflecting on how music shaped their identities and artistic paths. From Aruan's transformative encounter with Soft Cell on Top of the Pops in 1981 to SADBOY's mission to normalise emotional expression in Black masculinity, each artist reveals how music provided both refuge and resistance.The conversation spans continents and generations, weaving together stories of discovery, survival, and ultimately creation. Whether it was Brendan Maclean finding salvation in high school musical theatre, Paul Andrews learning harmony from songbooks, or JSky recording tracks on a PlayStation, these artists demonstrate how queer people have always found ways to decode, create, and claim space through music.Timestamped Takeaways[00:01:26] Soft Cell's Tainted Love awakens queer possibility: Aruan recalls being terrified and fascinated by Marc Almond's androgynous performance in 1981[00:02:30] Musical theatre becomes a lifeline: Brendan Maclean discovers "the brightest, shiniest version" of himself through performance[00:05:01] Afrofuturism meets family musical heritage: SADBOY describes growing up surrounded by house, hip hop, neo soul and electronic sounds[00:05:50] Weekly record shopping creates musical foundation: Paul Andrews' mother would sing songs to record store staff to find the right 45s[00:12:09] Prince models gender fluidity and rebellion: Aruan finds life-saving escapism in Prince's androgynous high-heeled defiance[00:13:43] From remixing Madonna to finding authenticity: Paul Andrews discusses working on "Ghost Town" and creating his own album[00:15:04] PlayStation production to professional recording: JSky's DIY journey from making beats on Music 2000 to booking studio time at 14[00:16:16] Decoding hidden queer messages in mainstream music: Brendan explains how queer audiences find Easter eggs and codes in songs[00:20:25] Hip hop as emotional revolution: SADBOY challenges hypermasculinity in Black communities through vulnerable music[00:21:32] The politics of pronouns in pop: Paul Andrews argues for authentic representation in lyrics to normalise queer love[00:22:24] Gay semiotics sparks creative breakthrough: Brendan's discovery of a book in a London sex shop leads to artistic revelation[00:23:43] Independence enables authentic expression: JSky celebrates not needing anyone's permission to create and release musicLinksRead deep dives into our queer lives at the blog HERE.Check out the official podcast playlist on Spotify.Follow the podcast on: Instagram • Tik Tok • FacebookSee producer and presenter Dan Hall's other work HERE (subtitled version HERE).Find composer Paul Leonidou HERE.Listen to other episodes at

Faith and family can be anchors in a young life — or weights that threaten to pull us under. In this summer special of In the Key of Q, I revisit remastered episodes from four remarkable queer artists: JSky (UK), Ty McKinnie (US), Blake Mundell aka Courier (US), and Wuhryn Dumas (US). Each speaks candidly about growing up queer in environments steeped in religious expectation and traditional family roles.We hear how early love for music and community often existed alongside fear, shame, or silence, and how each of them has reclaimed their space in ways that honour both their identity and personal history. From Blake's candid account of conversion therapy to Wuhryn's reflections on becoming the role model he never had, these conversations challenge the idea that faith and queerness cannot coexist. Instead, they reveal the messy, human process of reconciling the two.It's an episode about reclaiming joy, asserting self-worth, and finding home, whether that's in a church, a studio, or simply in one's own skin.Timestamped Takeaways[00:00] Setting the stage: Introduction to the summer specials and the theme of faith and family for queer people.[00:01] Ty's Hallelujah baby years: Early joy in church life and music, before acceptance came with conditions.[00:02] Blake's nightly prayers: Internalising shame from evangelical messages, leading to years of self-questioning.[00:03] Wuhryn's early queerness: Family members naming his queerness before he understood it himself.[00:05] JSky's dual worlds: Balancing football culture with the joy of church music and his Nana's influence.[00:09] The false choice: Blake describes feeling forced to choose between being queer or Christian.[00:11] Unsafe at home: Ty recalls retreating from family conversations about sexuality and Proposition 8.[00:12] Direct confrontation: JSky's honest exchange with his religious grandmother sparks perspective change.[00:17] Reclaiming the sacred: Blake holds space for all his past selves; Ty builds new understanding with family.[00:21] Hugging on your own terms: Ty insists on physical affection despite discomfort.[00:21] Becoming the representation: Wuhryn's commitment to showing young queer Black boys that they can thrive.[00:24] Home you build: Closing reflections on finding sacred space beyond traditional institutions.Guest BioJSky – UK singer, broadcaster, and creative, known for blending music and storytelling.

Send us a textHow's yall's summer going??? It's hot in New Orleans. And that humidity makes me glow HARD! I thought it'd be fun to wake the show up this week to introduce a couple of new conversations I had recently. First, I was contacted about an amazing skin care brand that has revolutionized the way brown skin is taken care of today. I was super intrigued. And asI learned more, boy was I doing things wrong! Brownkind was created by dermatologists of color to address the needs of melanin-rich skin. With products made with melanin in mind, your best skin day is every day. While most skincare companies use primarily caucasian skin to study effectiveness, we studied only those with melanin-rich skin. We focus on your skin using our proprietary blend of phytonutrients from start to finish, because proven science leads to proven results.Founded by dermatologists of color with over 50 years of experience, Brownkind is here to offer you the long-overlooked knowledge you need to give your skin the care it deserves. Listen as I am schooled in caring for brown skin by 2 of the world's leaders, Dr. Gauri Desai and Dr. Abhijit Desai and learn more about their amazing skin care brand at www.brownkind.com______________________________________________________________________Then later I welcome back my own personal favorites of mine- Past 2 term Mayor for the city of New Orleans, Mr. Marc Morial. Also leader of the National Urban League. Recently, I got to talk to him about the Homelessness situation in New Orleans. I wanted to make sure I was on the right side of things. I know and I SEE that our amazing Council person, and friend of mine, Ms. Lesli Harris has her fingers on the pulse, honey. It gives me chill bumps at the passion in her voice that gives way to the charm in her smile. The date proves we are on the right track! But there is always time to reflect on what can be done better. Life is always about getting better. And I know with passionate civic workers like Council Member Harris, along with the heart beat of our city- the future data will prove even better. AND I CLAIM THAT IN HIS NAME. Check this exclusive out with the People's Mayor. My always mayor. Thank you Mr. Marc. Learn more about his mission at www.nul.orgThank you to our family of amazing sponsors!

This summer, we're turning up the heat—and the frustration! It's our ultimate collection of your biggest vents of the year so far. From the mom who found out her son was secretly peeing the bed, to rants about slow drivers, and full-on outrage over people FaceTiming in public—nothing was too petty or too real for you to sound off about. If you've ever wanted to scream “ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?!”—this one's for you.

This special episode weaves together the experiences of five queer artists who've navigated the exhausting terrain between authentic self and performed safety. From Matt Fishel's childhood joy being "bullied out" of him to Blake Mundell's voluntary enrollment in conversion therapy, these stories map the psychological geography of concealment.Each artist reveals how constant self-monitoring becomes second nature - whether it's Ty McKinnie learning not to talk with his hands or Vincent di Geronimo facing daily violence in small-town Connecticut. Yet these aren't simply survival stories. They're testimonies to the peculiar alchemy that transforms hidden pain into visible art, showing how queer resilience isn't about overcoming but about finding unexpected pathways through.Timestamped Takeaways[00:01:33] Childhood transformation: Matt Fishel recalls when joy turned to vigilance at age 11[00:02:56] Geographic isolation: Vincent di Geronimo's move from NYC to Connecticut brings immediate violence[00:05:37] Performative masculinity: Blake Mundell maintains image through sports and "manly" activities[00:06:44] Accidental outing: Aruan's preference for Wham! over Madness exposes him in classroom[00:10:57] Physical withdrawal: Matt Fishel becomes recluse after serious beating in Nottingham[00:11:57] Conversion therapy: Blake voluntarily enrolls seeking to eliminate "sinful desires"[00:13:42] Suicide attempt: Blake's confidential letter to pastor gets weaponised by church[00:19:06] Classroom cruelty: Vincent faces normalised homophobia in maths class[00:20:15] Body language policing: Ty McKinnie's father forbids talking with hands[00:21:43] Unexpected liberation: Blake finds freedom through telling friend's story[00:24:23] Musical salvation: Aruan discovers community through Prince and Bowie[00:26:37] Industry rejection: Matt Fishel told by labels to "cut the gay content"Guest BioThis special episode features five remarkable artists from the podcast's first season in 2021: UK-based Matt Fishel and Aruan, alongside US artists Vincent di Geronimo, Blake Mundell (performing as Courier), and Ty McKinnie.

(April 2023)Den Toskanaurlaub mit ihrem Mann Gerald und dem befreundeten Paar Heike und Sven genießt Lena A. (44) in vollen Zügen. Die Sonne scheint, der Sekt fließt und die Teenager-Kinder sind daheim geblieben. Leicht angetrunken machen die Männer ein paar dumme Sprüche, die Lena und Heike nicht auf sich sitzen lassen. Ein Wort gibt das andere und aus der anfänglichen Neckerei entsteht eine ernstgemeinte Wette: Die Frauen fordern ihre Männer heraus zwei Wochen lang die Rollen zu tauschen. Die Männer kümmern sich um Familie und Haushalt, die Frauen machen die Arbeit in der Werbeagentur. Gerald ist anfänglich dagegen, er fürchtet die Frauen würden die Firma in den Ruin treiben. Doch Sven überredet seinen Partner dazu es zu versuchen und sie sind sich einig, sie wetten um ein teures Wellness Wochenende auf Kosten der Verlierer. Die Kinder sind nicht grad begeistert von der Idee der Eltern und die Stimmung ist angespannt. Die beiden Männer müssen erkennen, dass die Arbeit ihrer Frauen, die sie bislang für selbstverständlich hielten viel Zeit und Organisation fordert. Die Frauen hingegen finden Gefallen an ihrer Arbeit in der Agentur…wie wird es wohl nach Ablauf der zwei Wochen weitergehen?--Euch hat diese Geschichte gefallen, aufgeregt oder ihr habt euch darin sogar wiedererkannt? Das interessiert uns brennend!Schreibt uns in Kommentaren über Facebook und Instagram unter @dramacarbonara.

We hope everyone enjoys the pod!

Discover the history behind these iconic matches, the impact they had on European football, and the enduring legacy of WWFC's golden age.Jake also shares insights from his diverse writing career, and talks about his passion of the Old Gold through to the current team.

With listeners going on holiday and looking for something to read, rather than investigate a material it seemed like a good idea to talk about a new book instead. Robin Givhan is the Washington Post's senior critic-at-large, writing about politics, race and the arts. She won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism in 2006 and is the author of The Battle of Versailles: The Night American Fashion Stumbled into the Spotlight and Made History. Her latest book is entitled Make It Ours: Crashing the Gates of Culture with Virgil Abloh, which charts the life of the late designer from his childhood in Rockford, Illinois to his position as artistic director at Louis Vuitton menswear collection in Paris, the first black person to serve in that role in the brand's 164-year history. It also illustrates the profound changes that occurred in the luxury fashion industry over his short but fascinating career.In this episode, we talk about: why fashion matters; the role of the critic; Virgil Abloh's ‘confounding' qualities; how he created an extraordinary community; his imprint on fashion; how the world of luxury shifted around him; being the ‘ultimate non-perfectionist'; his controversial 3 per cent philosophy; judging value; craft and luxury; why the designer was ‘the right kind of Black man'; a pivotal relationship with rapper and producer Kanye West; the importance of T shirts; how Abloh became artistic director of Louis Vuitton's menswear collection; his tragic death; and his legacy. To buy a copy of Make it Ours, priced £20, from Material Matters contact us at: shop@materialmatters.designSupport the show

Today an encore presentation of an episode that last aired on July 25th. The statistics are pretty impressive. Canadians are staying home or at least they are staying away from the U.S. in this summer of 2025. This doesn't look like a one off, it could become generational. The deadline for a new trade deal between Canada and the U.S. is one week from today, what are the chances? Chantal Hebert and Bruce Anderson are here for our first of the summer's Good Talk specials.

The statistics are pretty impressive. Canadians are staying home or at least they are staying away from the U.S. in this summer of 2025. This doesn't look like a one off, it could become generational. The deadline for a new trade deal between Canada and the U.S. is one week from today, what are the chances? Chantal Hebert and Bruce Anderson are here for our first of the summer's Good Talk specials.
