This LGBT History Month, the Rainbow Network is celebrating the amazing work of queer people. Through a series of “coffee break”-sized podcast episodes, we’ll introduce you to LGBT innovators in the fields of Music, Science, Sport, and Literature.
In our first episode we’ll be talking about two pioneering queer composers who specialised in minimalism and ambient sounds: Wendy Carlos, early developer of the famous Moog synthesiser and early ambient works composer; and Julius Eastman, who led the way in bringing the rhythms of pop music to minimalist classical music.
In this episode of the LGBT History Month podcast, we will look at three LGBT authors from the Victorian era to present times and celebrate their tremendous impact on the world of literature.
Kate Stewart briefly introduces a couple of LGBTQ Scientists from History and one from the present to ask the questions “Who is able to succeed? Who is remembered? How can we ensure we record the full history of LGBT scientists and their contributions?”
In this episode, Helen Coy investigates recent developments in making the world of sport more inclusive for trans, nonbinary, and intersex people.
