1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,760
Can you please tell me about a 
song in your own back catalogue?

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,600
Oh, Bear, you said nothing was 
off limits. 

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,000
Bear, you got me, girl. 
Very good. 

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,840
Someone's been doing their 
homework. 

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:18,840
Welcome back to the tracks of 
our queers. 

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:20,640
It's. 
Been a little while, but I hope 

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,160
that the wait might have been 
worth it because launching. 

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,000
This January are some of my most
hysterical, surprising and. 

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,480
Sometimes quite. 
Moving conversations so far on 

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,640
music, of course. 
It's power as a soundtrack to 

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,360
our queer journeys. 
And the courage. 

12
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,560
Joy and magic that we find in it
this season? 

13
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,600
You're going to hear from some 
genuine bonafide queer Trail 

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,320
Blazers. 
It came about because the 

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,160
prevailing public view of 
straight society was that we 

16
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:52,960
should be ashamed of being gay, 
lesbian, bisexual or trans. 

17
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:54,800
We thought, what's the opposite 
of shame? 

18
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,560
It's pride. 
And the reason why I started the

19
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:02,400
Tick Tock is because I started 
seeing all these kids on it that

20
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,319
were trans and queer. 
We're saying, Oh my God, I'm not

21
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,320
going to live past my 20s. 
And there's no other people. 

22
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:09,680
It's like they're all killed, 
stuff like that. 

23
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,160
And that's when I was like, 
honey to my husband, hold my 

24
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,440
Diet Coke. 
I'm going to flip on this 

25
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,400
camera. 
And I was just like hello. 

26
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,720
Along with some fascinating 
queer. 

27
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,680
Folk that you may or may not 
know yet. 

28
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,520
This is a special song for me, 
and I'll tell you one when I was

29
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,440
growing up, I really loved Kylie
Minogue music and I was really 

30
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,120
ashamed, embarrassed to tell 
anyone. 

31
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:34,640
What I love about it is it was 
controversial because of her 

32
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,240
growth, not because she was 
showing pussy, you know what I 

33
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,240
mean? 
Not to mention in the future 

34
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:42,920
you're actually going to be 
hearing more. 

35
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,360
From some very special people. 
Who've been part of my own queer

36
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,480
journey. 
When you're kind of reminded in 

37
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,160
a way of the music that you used
to love and listen to and that 

38
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,000
meant so much at a time, and 
it's been like opening all these

39
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,720
old boxes and being taken back 
to old places. 

40
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,560
And that's been, yeah, quite 
gorgeous. 

41
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,280
It's been a massive year for 
many of us, so if you do get a 

42
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,520
break over the next couple of 
weeks, enjoy it. 

43
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,880
Tracks of Our Queers will return
to soundtrack your new year 

44
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,560
wherever you get your podcasts 
in early January. 

45
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:14,640
See you then.
