Audible Lives - LGBTQ+ Storytelling & Podcasting with Audible

‘Audible Lives’ with Gaydio is a powerful podcast series that explores the diverse experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals across the North West. Through personal storytelling and shared advice, participants open up about their journeys and offer insight to others in the community.

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:

• 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.
