Audible Lives - LGBTQ+ Storytelling & Podcasting with Audible
The project took place in both Manchester and Liverpool, where participants attended a series of sessions focused on storytelling, interviewing, and podcast production. They were guided by Emma Goswell, a multi-award-winning podcaster and author. After the initial sessions, participants were given the task of interviewing LGBTQ+ individuals and allies from across the UK, using these conversations as the foundation for their group-created podcasts.
Below are the incredible podcast episodes — recorded, produced, and edited entirely by the participants:
Join Amelie and Abby in an honest and refreshing conversation about the bisexual experience. Two bi girls, a mic, and plenty to talk about
Join Billy, Reuben and Ronna in their deep-dive exploration of Liverpool’s queer nightlife - expect intimate stories, exclusive drag queens and elusive bar managers.
Join Kenzie, Purple & Al as they discuss identity and everything in between for when you feel the most you
Join James & Tyler as they discuss their experiences being queer and northern whilst discussing topics like family and trans life
Join George, Abiba & William as they chat to guests about lived perspectives from our LGBTQ+ community and our allies
Join Erin, Megan & Harriet as they discuss what the north of England has done for our queer scene
Join Max & Tom as they talk about the pandemic, 5 years on, and the effects on the LGBTQ+ community
Join Steffan & Max as they speak to people who dont quite fit into the traditional binary genders
Join Jamie, Mike & Teddy talking about Pride stories and the commercialisation in recent years

Just do it! Participant from course Manchester Lee and Emma made the course. The passion and dedication behind the content was inspiring! Participant from course Liverpool Lee and Emma were incredibly insightful and amazing at leading the course. I have learnt valuable skills in the radio and podcasting industry and made wonderful friends along the way. Participant from course Manchester The Gaydio x Audible Lives course has been even better than I could’ve imagined. I have learned brand new skills that were alien to me before and let me meet amazing queer people where I don’t usually have a large queer community. Lee and Emma Goswell were both great gay mentors. Participant from course Liverpool I loved connecting with other queer people on this course, and creating a podcast to help our community! Participant from course Manchester The Gaydio Academy, with Lee Barnes and Emma Goswell were so informative and helpful, and they provided insightful advice that I could really take away with me. I had such a great time and I would absolutely come back Participant from course Liverpool Amazing course! Very important for the community and a fabulous learning opportunity. I heart Gaydio Academy Participant from course Manchester Amazing place highly recommend, feel so much more confident and learnt loads of new skills amazing and helpful tutors being brand new is not an issue Participant from course Liverpool You will learn more in those few days than you did in a whole year of uni, and you will actually DO IT and not just write about it!
