  1. [PREVIEW] Ghosts of your former self - 006

    SEASON 5, EPISODE 6 TRAILER

    [PREVIEW] Ghosts of your former self - 006

    We’ve got a star guest this week! Tino Orsini is a versatile character actor — you might have seen him playing the artist Banksy in Ted Lasso. For his next trick he’ll be on stage performing an intimate solo show about his own dark past. It’s all based around the time he tried to make it in Hollywood. We loved hearing Tino’s reflections on immigration, addiction, sex, family secrets and, of course, showbiz. His new show is called Ghosts of West Hollywood and it’s on 2-7 June at the Et Cetera theatre in London. -Adam + Tash

    SEASON 5, EPISODE 3 TRAILER

    [PREVIEW] An Army of Lovers Cannot Fail - 003

    Sometimes you read a book and feel ‘this is a bit of me!’ That’s how we both felt reading An Army of Lovers Cannot Fail, so we wanted to talk about it. It’s a book about friendship, across generations, and the power of queer solidarity. So it also led us to two recent photography exhibitions too. -Adam + Tash

    [PREVIEW] Exclusive: How we turned a podcast into a book

    The answer is that we didn’t! As you’ll hear in this exclusive Patreon episode of The Log Books, we first finished the initial three podcast seasons and then we began work on writing a book. The two are such different beasts that we didn’t just want to print out a podcast.  We wanted to use the form of a book to think harder, research deeper, and use the power of the written word to say something new. It was fun to record this episode and reflect back on how we got an agent for our book proposal, how we began working with Faber as our publisher, and then how we actually went about writing a book — together as co-authors, which wasn’t always easy... What do you think about the process? We’re curious to hear your thoughts, -Tash and Adam

    [PREVIEW] Exclusive: How we created The Log Books podcast

    In 2019, Tash was giving a talk in an archive, and Adam was mesmerised... In our first exclusive Patreon episode, we reflect on how we came to create The Log Books podcast. The story goes that we met in an archive and got excited about how we could bring Switchboard’s unique log books to life.  We had so much fun recording this episode - just the two of us, chatting and reminiscing, and reflecting on how and why queer history is made... Let us know what you think, and what else you’d like us to cover in future exclusive episodes. -Adam and Tash
