The People and Dancefloors Radio Show: Trans bodies in nightlife spaces

On our June show, we discussed the relationship between sex and drugs in nightlife, caring about people welfare in queer club spaces with extra special guest Knives (@ghost.them). We talked about the problems with consent - Alex shared some deep and moving insights from their research and a different way to think about sex on drugs as capacities to act. Content warning: we discuss sexual abuse so be mindful of your mental state when listening.

On our third episode, Giulia and Alex talked psychedelics, with special guests journalist and author Mattha Busby (@matthamundo @unchartedterritorypod) and Rosalind Stone (@rosalindst0ne @semantrix_sessions). We tackled the big questions that stem from the tension between psychedelics and capitalism and the prospect of their medicalisation.

Back with another episode of the People and Dancefloors radio show! This time, we tackled authenticity in clubs with extra special guests Dr Danielle Antoinette Hidalgo (@missanthrope10) and David Ramsay (@drms_85) North London based DJ and resident @homostash. What is an authentic club experience? Why do people seek it? Why is it important? And how does it square with capitalism?

The People and Dancefloors Radio Show: Afterparties

Can we ever separate partying from politics? and should we? In January, we dug into the long and complicated relationship between raving and politics, chatting hedonism, space, and the controversies surrounding clubs' and parties' positions on Palestine. We also welcomed back our friend David Ramsay for a special guest mix <3

Back with our 11th show, which aired February 15th, 2024. On this episode, we chat about GHB/GBL. Colloquially known as G, there are lots of myths surrounding this drug that need to be busted, so that is what we set out to do with the help of our extra special guest Lyu Azbel @ljulyu, a researcher and activist involved with the Transform Dancefloors for Pleasure project in Berlin (@td4p_berlin)

The People and Dancefloors radio show is officially one year old! This episode, we talked a lot of news, I had verbal diarrhoea more than usual as a result of drinking a strong coffee after being off coffee for a little while... We also discussed the significance of fashion in clubs and nightlife via anecdotes shared by some of our favourite people and some good old fashioned academic literature.

The People and Dancefloors Radio Show: Inclusion/Exclusion

We are BACK after a 3 month hiatus to talk (very appropriately) about drugs and parenthood, since we have both become parents! To clarify, Giulia had an actual baby, and Alex got a kitten. In this episode, we chatted about ‘baby brain’ (is it a thing? Or is Giulia just f***ing knackered?), gendered expectations around parents’ drug use, and the ways the use of drugs and attitudes towards them are passed down generations. As usual, we’ll play some tunes throughout and share some stories of our own #drugs #radio #podcast #parenthood #generations #babies #kittens
