We talk to Dr Jane Traies, an oral historian and author, about her fascinating research into the lives of older lesbians. We also hear how, after a long career as a teacher and head teacher, Jane made a successful but unexpected move into academia.

In the second part of our double episode we chat to Sean's partner Tom about narrative design (including what it is!) and how being gay has informed his practice.
