Tracks of Our Queers

David Hoyle is a performance artist, comedian, film director, cabaret legend, and British queer icon. David’s long running residency at London’s Royal Vauxhall Tavern continues throughout the rest of the year. This episode was recorded live in Manchester in August 2026.

Jackie Kay is a poet, writer, and former Makar: The National Poet for Scotland. I first heard Jackie on my own favourite podcast Desert Island Discs, which lead me to her own works: Trumpet, the story of a mixed race trans musician; and her wonderful memoir Red Dust Road. This episode is exactly why I continue to make this podcast - I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed talking to Jackie.

Malaya Bayanihan (he/she/they), also known as Emil Cañita or @babydilfx online, is an artist, advocate for those living with HIV, sex worker, and spectacular human. Incredible musical selections and blissful meanderings on a queer utopian future await listeners.

Lea DeLaria is a multi-hyphenate of the unapologetically queer kind. Whether you met her on Arsenio Hall, Orange is the New Black, Edge of Seventeen, through her own music career or elsewhere, Lea has been there and done that. If you're in the Provincetown surrounds right now, check out Lea's tour dates here. Tracks of Our Queers⁠⁠ is an entirely independent production, which you can support by ⁠⁠buying me a coffee⁠⁠.

Bruce Vilanch is a legendary writer and actor across Hollywood, Broadway, television, and most recently, memoir, with the release of his autobiography It Seemed Like a Bad Idea at the Time! I first encountered Bruce as a guest judge in the early seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race, but his pivotal partnership in Bette Midler's career from her shows in gay bathhouses up to the writers room for Hocus Pocus 3 (!) is his ultimate qualifier for this very show. You actually can't find Bruce online on Instagram or X, which I kind of love. Tracks of Our Queers⁠⁠ is an entirely independent production, which you can support by ⁠⁠buying me a coffee⁠⁠.
