The View From Here is a UK-based podcast shining a fresh light on LGBTQ+ history through long-form interviews with some of the UK's leading changemakers. Our aim is to keep these stories alive and inspire the activists of tomorrow.
A timely and important look at the people who fought
A podcast it’s surprising that no one has made before, but worth the wait.
We stand on the shoulders of people who laid everything on the line and often suffered significant discrimination, we benefited and we should all listen and learn.

Fascinating and important
This is a really intriguing political project - capturing a history in the UK that too many take for granted. But it’s also incredibly emotional, really drilling down into the personal stories behind the activism, reminding/educating listeners of the incredible courage that regular, relatable people showed in challenging a world that wouldn’t allow LGTBQ+ people to exist fully. Inspiring for confronting the (sadly) same challenges we see today!

Incredible
Loved the first podcast. The conversation was thoughtful provoking, made me teary eyed in parts (when he mentioned his dad, and friends), and informative (I knew nothing about Stonewall and little about section 28)
Really well-done, and I eagerly await next week’s episode.
