Had a lovely chat with Hadley for Vada magazine. We spoke about Criminally Queer: The Bolton 7, the importance of plurality in LGBTQ+ storytelling, why I think podcasts are such a singular medium, and my preoccupation with making work that excavates the (queer) human experience.

The podcast chronicles the case itself, the aftermath, and examines the legacy of such policing and prosecutorial campaigns. The series also acts as a vehicle to more broadly explore the criminalisation of queerness in England, and asks: how far have we really come?

Criminally Queer: The Bolton 7 is out now! The 5-part series tells the story of seven men from the former mill town in Northern England who in 1998 had their lives turned upside when they were arrested, interrogated and charged with archaic crimes solely because they’d had consensual group sex.

The notion that we must do everything we can to preserve the possibility that a child might turn out not to be transgender, and that young people can and should be dissuaded from being trans is fucking grim, and rooted in a belief that transness is social contagion that must be contained.
