Today’s guest is someone I’ve known personally for over 30 years – singer, actress and one third of award-winning cabaret trio Fascinating Aida, Adele Anderson.
Adele's heroes and heroines include a famous jazz musician, an inspirational trans icon and two women close to her heart, personally and professionally.
In a characteristically candid conversation, Adele also talks about cancel culture, radical drag, her personal journey as a trans woman and surviving cancer – and writing and performing songs about both.
Paul Burston's memoir We Can Be Heroes will be published by Little A and is available to preorder now.
