Hello listeners, hello, hello, hello, everybody sit down, do take a seat down,

oh no, thank you. Now then, it's Culture Club today, We're doing a little Culture Club episode

interviewing the writer Jason Oconday. He's written his first book entitled

Revolutionary Acts Love and Brotherhood in Black Gay Britain.

We caught up during LGBT History Month,

and his book is Fab.

It tells the untold histories and lived experiences

of Black gay men in Britain.

You know, we always say say this queer people are not

taught their history and black gay history is glossed over massively. So what

he's telling is a really important story and he does it in a beautiful way. It's all

first-hand stories where he met with people and

interviewed them and also I love this thing that he does. When he first meets someone the first

question he always asks is got any gossip which is a very homoapians question so we had to write our

chat about it here we go here's here's my lovely chat with Jason I don't normally do this Jason but can you guess what my first question is

I'll pronounce my name no well they do tell me.

Okandaya.

Okandaya. No, my first question was going to be

have you got any good gossip? Oh, do I have any good gossip? Not that I can share on a podcast at the moment, unfortunately.

Okay, well, let's look at it this way.

Yeah.

Over the course of this conversation, if anything comes to you gossip-wise, then you let me know.
