Leo is excited to find two ghosts haunting the same space in an arena in Birmingham. The ghosts, on the other hand, are somewhat less excited about this set-up.

Transcript: https://tellnotalespod.com/transcripts/transcript-s2-e10-inherently-punk

Note: This episode is largely about the Eurovision Song Contest, which is currently being boycotted for its refusal to condemn Israel's genocide of Palestinian people, and silencing of those who attempt to speak out. Despite the unforeseen poor timing of this episode, we want to make it clear that we strongly support this boycott. Please see below for the resources mentioned in the disclaimer at the start of this episode:

Bashar Murad is a queer Palestinian singer-songwriter, with music that explores Palestinian resistance, gender noncomfority, and queer love.

Yaffa is a trans Palestinian poet, and executive director of the Muslim Alliance for Sexual and Gender Diversity (MASGD). You can learn more about their work and experience here, and donate to MASGD’s fundraiser for queer and trans Palestiniants here

Verilybitchie’s video essay, The [Queer] Politics of Eurovision, covers Eurovision’s history of pinkwashing or ‘homonationalism’, including - but not exclusive to - its representation of Israel

Written and produced by Leanne Egan. In this episode you heard the voices of Leanne Egan as Leo Quinn, Lily Yasuda as Rose Willis, and Jack Larus as Seb Knowles.

Intro and outro music by Lumehill

The conveniently public domain music that Leo and Frank chose to listen to today was Vivaldi's 'Spring'. Performances sourced from Musopen.org Atmospheric music: Twinkle by Megan Wofford, Free Breathing by Joseph Beg, and Sometimes I'm Happy by So Vea. Music and sound effects sourced from Epidemic Sound and Soundsnap.
