Tracks of Our Queers
Fascinating LGBTQ+ people explore the soundtracks to their queer journeys through one track, one album, and one artist. Activists, trailblazers, and icons help Andy Gott piece together the precious relationship that queer people have with music.
Tracks of Our Queers
Josh Rivers, cultural worker
Josh Rivers is a cultural worker, broadcaster, and the presenter of the conversation series Busy Being Black, a podcast exploring how queer Black folks live "in the fullness of their lives".
Josh conducts his interviews in a way that allows people to unfold into their vulnerability, leading to inspiring conversations with fascinating guests from across the queer Black spectrum, including HIV activists from 80s London, Anglican priests, and Moud Goba – a guest on one of my favourite Tracks of Our Queers episodes.
In this conversation, I experience some of Josh’s conversational magic myself, as we discuss the joy of discovering your own taste, welcoming back the little dancing boy that many of us once were, and perhaps most importantly, Beyoncé.
Listen to all previous guest choices in one handy Spotify playlist, Selections from Tracks of Our Queers and follow the pod on Instagram.
To celebrate our fiftieth episode, I want to hear your queer tracks. Send me a voice note of a song, album, or artist that has resonated with your life, and I'll include it in Episode 50.
