BBC Radio 6 Music Lauren Laverne Words from Tash Walker about The Log Books: Voices of Queer Britain and the Helpline that Listened.

New on NOTCHES: The Log Books by Tash Walker & Adam Zmith. Drawing on log books from London’s LGBT+ Switchboard, Walker & Zmith uncover fascinating queer life stories in the everyday concerns, fears, desires, and acts of resilience recorded by volunteers in the 70s-90s. Link wp.me/p6JJ6S-4XY

Recording the hidden River Fleet, one of London’s 20 ghost rivers, flowing beneath streets built over it. Lowering my recorder into a drain, the river suddenly roared to life, a reminder that nature persists, even when we've buried it beneath concrete. Listening closely to hear what it has to say.

Pride is for life, not just for June. We're delighted to see the progress on the @gladduk.bsky.social and @auntnellproduction.bsky.social project preserving the stories of LGBTQ+ doctors and dentists and the organisation that represents them.

Llyfr Yr Wythnos: The Log Books gan Adam Zmith a Tash Walker #LlyfrYrWythnos #LlyfPCYDDS --- Book of the Week: The Log Books by Adam Zmith and Tash Walker #BookOfTheWeek #UWTSDlib

An unmissable LGBTQ+ history event is coming up 🌈 Tash Walker and Adam Zmith share powerful stories from The Log Books: Voices of Queer Britain, drawn from the Switchboard helpline during the era of Section 28. 📅 10 July 📍 City Lit 🎟️ Tickets: shorturl.at/Nz4eR

Adam and I can stand up now and say "We are children of Section 28. It harmed us. Don't do that again." @tashwalker.bsky.social and @adamzmith.bsky.social on the importance of recovering queer history via the first LGBTQ+ helpline in the UK.

"History repeats itself. People tell us this. But if you do not know that history in the first instance, then how the hell do you know that it's repeating?" @tashwalker.bsky.social and @adamzmith.bsky.social on recovering queer history in the log books of the LGBTQ+ helpline, Switchboard.

Listen to our great conversation with @marybethhamilton13.bsky.social - such insightful and thoughtful questions! Thank you @historyworkshop.org.uk 📚

THE LOG BOOKS is part history & part memoir with a mix of call logs, interviews & the authors’ own experiences, very accessible & a great starting point for anyone interested in UK queer history from the past few decades. Buy it here: proud-geek.co.uk/queer-book/t... #booksky

My review of The Log Books is in the May issue of @historytoday.com! A delight to spend time with such a rich & engaging text.

📣 THE LOGBOOKS - VOICES OF QUEER BRITAIN & THE HELPLINE THAT LISTENED 1PM, SUN 19 APRIL | BRITISH LIBRARY Join The Log Books authors Tash Walker and Adam Zmith to explore a unique archive of queer lives. Chaired by historian Dan Vo. Part of #HistFest2026 Book now histfest.org/histfest-2026/

For The Observer, I’ve written about growing up under the shadow of Section 28, bi erasure, and the role of the Bishopsgate Institute’s archive informing new books on LGBT+ history that offer resistance and lessons in our own increasingly intolerant times observer.co.uk/style/featur...

Really lovely to have Tales of the Suburbs featured in this beautiful article by Luke, also taking in the marvellous Bishopsgate Institute and the brilliant history of Switchboard, The Log Books

I wish he had been there. I went for John but then Adam talked about what he called 'violence of silence' of Section 28. I hadn't really thought about how it affected me, a queer teen during the AIDS crisis with no support from teachers etc. Always felt less impacted than older folks. But I was.

Finally got a copy of The Log Books and got it signed by Tash and Adam! Great to see Tash again and finally meet Adam. John's ears would be burning wherever he is, cos he was mentioned quite a few times. Reading his parts I got quite tearful but made it through the talk OK!

#TheLogBooks tour! Lovely evening in Leeds last night at @thebookishtype.bsky.social with Kit Heyam - so many interesting and heartwarming reflections, including one from someone who used to volunteer on Switchboards 🧡

Lovely evening at Bookish Type in Leeds hearing about THE LOG BOOKS by @tashwalker.bsky.social and @adamzmith.bsky.social Really looking forward to getting into this after hearing about the funny, sad, bittersweet stories of the people using and running the switchboards @faberbooks.bsky.social

Somehow I missed this - posted up the intervew with my late partner, John Lindsay as part of The Log Books podcast Series 4, episode 1. He was one of the founders of Gay Switchboard. Tash spoke at John's funeral. shows.acast.com/thelogbooks/... #queerhistory #gayswitchboard #queer #lgbtq
