Hello and welcome to this week's edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show.

This week's show, as well as all the usual brand spanking new music and interesting bands I've found while trawling social media, there's an interview with "the sex face of Burlesque" herself, originator of Stripknot (yes, you did read that correctly!), Trixie Blue. I spoke to her about... hang on... why am I telling you? Go listen to the interview if you want to hear what we talk about!

Anyway... like I mention in the show, I'm looking for more people to chat with for the show. With this being Pride Month, I'd like to shine more of a spotlight on queer creators within the Rock and Metal scene. So if you're LGBTQIA+, do something creative, obviously that includes being in a band and are into Rock and Metal, get in touch and we'll have a chat, record it and get your voice heard. This especially applies to our trans siblings and any sex workers. With the sort of shite you're having heaped on you at the moment, your voices need to be heard even more.

As members of the Metal community, we know what it's like to be "othered" and treated as if we're mentally deficient or need rescuing. We know we aren't and we don't, so let's band together with others who feel and are being treated the same way or even worse. At least it isn't illegal in most countries to listen to Metal. There's far too many where it's illegal to be queer or a sex worker. That's not right. Let's try and do something about it, eh?

Remember, you can also listen and subscribe to the show on YouTube Podcasts, Google Podcasts (where still available), Apple Podcasts, Amazon Podcasts and wherever else you get your podcasts.
