Hello wonderful queers! Welcome to episode number one from your new hosts Ben and Maya. This is our Qistory episode, where we discuss the exciting Queer history of Halloween. There will be teachings and learnings, pop culture chat, games, student thoughts AND an exciting interview with PHD student Ethan James. Tune in my spooky, fanged, blood drenched queers (and others), we hope you enjoy!

The end is nigh! As Jasper and Yusra prepare to graduate, they say a fond farewell to the podcast by reflecting on the past year and looking towards the future - by exclusively introducing your new hosts for the next academic year!

The episode concludes with a highlights reel of every interview response to the question “What would you say to your younger student self?”, including Jasper and Yusra’s own answers to this... tissues at the ready. It may be goodbye from our old hosts, but from our new hosts - it’s a very exciting see you soon! Here’s to the future!

Spring has sprung! The days are getting longer, the flowers are in bloom and to celebrate, Jasper and Yusra are joined by Connor Butler (he/him), better known as @connor_the_ecologist on Instagram and TikTok. Connor is a freelance entomologist who has made a splash online educating their platform about all the wonderful queerness which can be found in the natural world. The former head of learning at Chelsea Physic Garden, Connor was most recently tasked with curating ‘A Dash of Lavender’, a queer ecology exhibition made to mark LGBTQ+ History Month, exploring the connection between queerness and nature. He talks about the importance of this relationship, his love for ecology and much more in his brilliantly entertaining chat with Jasper and Yusra. Expect lesbian seagulls and a remarkable tale about gender-fluid woodlice...
