KEEP GOING

HISTORY WAS NEVER A STRAIGHT ROAD.
HOP IN – WE KNOW THE QUEER WAY.

Time Travelling Queers is a video podcast that jumps into the back of a time-travelling taxi and reverses straight into the past – to find the queer stories history tried to leave at the curb.

Every episode explores the life of a queer figure from our past. A historian brings the facts. A celebrity guest brings the questions you actually want answered. Our host keeps the cab – and the chaos – on schedule. Expect proper research and properly bad behaviour, in equal measure. We don’t detour around the uncomfortable bits. We just make sure you’re laughing on the way there.

Our Taxi Driver:

DON ONE

Award-nominated drag king, comedian, and one of the UK’s leading voices in queer performance.
