Look at this house. It's a perfectly nice house but it's not a remarkable house. It's the sort of house a doctor or a lawyer should be able to buy as a family home. A nice Georgian terrace. But because it's in London, it's 2 point 3 million quid.

Had a lovely chat with Hadley for Vada magazine. We spoke about Criminally Queer: The Bolton 7, the importance of plurality in LGBTQ+ storytelling, why I think podcasts are such a singular medium, and my preoccupation with making work that excavates the (queer) human experience.
