Podcast Overview

QUEER RECOLLECTIONS explores contemporary Queer British History, with flair, curiosity and purpose, by speaking to those who have lived it and those who are preserving this fragile heritage. At present, the subject isn't widely taught, physical queer spaces are closing, and much of this history remains overlooked. To rectify this, I (Will Hecker, a documentary filmmaker) speak to DJs, archivists, activists, and historians who are working to preserve, celebrate, and share British queer history for all to discover.
