About this listen
Hidden in a dusty crawl space in the offices of Switchboard, a helpline in operation since 1974, lie dozens of log books that capture the stories told to volunteers. Drawing on these traces of tens of thousands of queer lives, Tash Walker and Adam Zmith embark on a moving journey through love, loss, activism and belonging, weaving a collective history from voices almost lost to time.

Critic Reviews
'A fantastic journey through an overlooked archive bursting with humanity and real life on every page.' (Dan Snow, historian, broadcaster and television presenter)
'I was so moved and charmed by this polyphonic, gossipy and politically potent book ... Among the most vivid social histories I've read about contemporary queer life in Britain.' (Oisín McKenna, author of Evenings and Weekends)
'A fresh retelling of queer history teeming with curiosity, complexity and humanity ... This book manages to capture something of the essence of what it means to be alive.' (Amelia Abraham, author of Queer Intentions)
'Profound ... Walker and Zmith's extensive research uncovers queer stories that are rarely told.' (AnOther Magazine)
