Episode Twenty-Three - 'You're Speaking Our Language'

Alex Milsom is back for this week’s episode of the Virgin Radio Pridecast, joined as always by Shivani Dave, and this week we’re getting a little bit linguistic, talking about the different ways we can describe our diverse community, and of course ourselves. 

You’ll hear from sociolinguist Sophie Holmes-Elliott on whether words which have previously been used against us can be reclaimed, actor Jake Graf and author Juno Dawson on why they like using the term ‘Queer’ to describe their identities, plus author and activist Jack Monroe will be giving their advice to someone who is struggling to define themselves… All that, and Daryl Jackson will be here as always with his Virgin Radio Pride Weekly Update!

Please note, some of the topics discussed in this episode might be sensitive and/or triggering. For help and support with any LGBTQ+ issues you might be facing, you can contact Switchboard on 0300 330 0630. Alternatively, the Samaritans are available twenty-four hours a day on 116 123.
