Saying Something Sober

The one-stop shop for discussion on all things that interest me; a sober queer person from the UK. In each episode, I will 'Say Something Sober' about the chosen topic. Topics will include (but not limited to) old films, new films, music, non-fiction TV shows, Survivor, Drag Race, etc. However, I'll talk about it as a sober person, occasionally using my sobriety as a lens and/or relating it to my journey. Though there are oodles of sobriety guides, I feel there is a lack of easy-watching/easy-listening, pop-culture content that comes from a sober view and with sobriety in mind. <3

Straight Jacket: Shame - Saying Something Sober (#7A)

In this episode, I go through and summarise the first section of Matthew Todd's book 'Straight Jacket: Overcoming Society's Legacy of Gay Shame'. This first section is entitled Shame and consists of 6 Chapters, which I go through in sequence.

Throughout the episode, I review the book, give my opinion and relate what it discusses to my own experiences and how it has impacted me since reading it.

This episode is a long one, sorry about that, but feel free to listen at 1.5x speed. I had so much to say and even cut a lot out from this first part. Future episodes will follow on the other two sections of the book: Recovery & Escape.

I found this first section of the book incredibly impactful and hope you get something from my summary and distillation of it useful. Thanks for listening! :)
