Adam and Tash are joined in this episode by Diana James, who discovered herself as a dyke in the 80s and joined Switchboard as its first trans volunteer. Diana discusses what she learnt as she handled phone calls from distressed queer people, and how the older and younger generations need to support each other.Buy our book or see our events listings: The Log Books: Voices of Queer Britain and the Helpline that Listened.Hosted and produced by Tash Walker and Adam ZmithThe voice of the log books: Serena JamesAssistant producer: Marnie Woodmeade Engineer: David PyeMusic: Tom Fosket-BarnesOriginal artwork: Natalie DotoThanks to the Bishopsgate Institute; our publisher, Faber Books; the dreamboats at Acast; the staff and volunteers at Switchboard, and all the contributors who shared their stories.Episode transcripts available here.Call Switchboard on 0800 0119 100, email [email protected] or instant message via www.switchboard.lgbt.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thelogbooks.
