News! We’re making season three of The Log Books because we’ve received a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
While you wait, here’s an episode of Call Me Mother, another podcast, featuring an interview with Sandra Caldwell, a 67-year-old actor who was forced to hide part of herself for 40 years. We loved hearing Sandra tell her story to Shon Faye, with such warmth and wisdom, and we think you will too.
We’ll be back with the third season of The Log Books later in 2021... See you soon.
