What is the future of gender? The iconic Susan Stryker joins us for a live recording to see where this question might lead us and speak about how she investigated it in her new book Changing Gender. Susan explains why gender is in fact a Humanities problem, not a science problem, and how thinking about animacy, grammar and psychedelics might get us closer to understanding the work that gender does as a concept. If you’re into trans rights and a bit of a grammar nerd, this will be your dream episode.   References: Susan Stryker’s Changing Gender: The History and Future of a Concept (Serpent’s Tail, 2026) Susan Stryker’s “My Words to Victor Frankenstein above the Village of Chamounix” Screaming Queens Susan Stryker’s Transgender History New House Art Space Blossom LGBT Katherine Hubbard David Griffiths Clare Butler Papermoon Books Whitechapel Gallery Heather Love Lena Mattheis’ Queer Forms and Pronouns (Oxford University Press, 2026) Talia Mae Bettcher  Ursula K.

1984 was a particularly flamboyant year for British Pop. “Relax” overcame its radio ban to spend five weeks at UK number one. George Michael alluded to his future solo aspirations with “Careless Whisper.” Pete Burns’ Dead Or Alive proved the combination of Hi NRG and Stock Aitken Waterman equalled chart-success. And Freddie Mercury dressed in drag for the “I Want to Break Free” video. But aside from the two core members of Frankie Goes to Hollywood, most of these men were living some kind of closeted existence. However, also debuting in 1984 were Bronski Beat. Fronted by Jimmy Somerville, a Scottish socialist with the voice of a disco diva packed within his buzz cut 5 foot 4 frame, they were three openly gay men writing honestly about their lives. Their melancholic debut single is a synth-pop escape, from a smalltown and its small minds, with its destination simply being somewhere better, both for themselves and LGBTQ+ Pop. This is New British Canon and This is the Story of “Smalltown Boy”. #Smalltownboy #bronskibeat #MusicDocumentary Fact-checking by Chad Van Wagner. 00:00 Introduction 01:28 Jimmy Somerville & The Start of Bronski Beat 08:29 Creating "Smalltown Boy" 17:05 "Why?" & The Age of Consent 23:06 The Split, The Communards & Enduring Legacy Soundtrack Luar - Citrine (https://soundcloud.com/luarbeats) Jesse Gallagher - The Golden Present Luar - Anchor (https://soundcloud.com/luarbeats) Pride, Pop and Politics by Darryl W Bullock, 2022, Omnibus Sweet Dreams: The Story of the New Romantics by Dylan Jones, 2020, Faber The Age of Consent - Liner Notes by Paul Flynn, Mike Thorne & Jimmy Somerville, 2018, London Records “Jimmy Somerville (Bronski Beat) - Smalltown Boy | The story behind the song” Top 2000 a gogo, Mar 2018 “Heart of the Beat” Adrian Jones, No 1 Magazine, Jun 1984 “Runaway Boys: Bronski Beat” Dave Rimmer, Smash Hits, Jun 1984 “Bronski Beat: Dark Side of the Beat” Helen Fitzgerald, Melody Maker, Sep 1984 “Jimmy The Mover” Andy Hughes, No 1 Magazine, Sep 1984 “Beat the Sex Rap” Sunie, No 1 Magazine, Oct 1984 “The Age of Consent - Review” Biba Kopf, NME, Oct 1984 “Bronski Beat: Bronski Beefs” Paolo Hewitt, NME, Nov 1984 “Consenting Adults” Tony Reed, Electronic Soundmaker & Computer Music, Dec 1984 “It Ain’t Necessarily So” Karen Swayne, No 1 Magazine, Jan 1985 “What is Bronski Beat?” Barney Hoskyns, Spin Magazine, May 1985 “AUDIO: Bronski Beat (1985)” Barney Hoskyns, Rocksbackpages, Spr 1985 “Jimmy Somerville: The Age of Dissent” Paolo Hewitt, NME, May 1985 “The Communards: Turning Pink into Red” Paul Mathur, Blitz, Oct 1985 “His Beat Goes On” Barry Walters, The Advocate, Jun 2000 “20 most fabulous“ Jimmy Somerville, The Guardian, Nov 2006 “Jimmy Somerville: 'Jesus Christ!
