For the 9th episode of Tales from the Tea Room, Jason and I had two special guests, Lewis Clarke and Chase Ledin, Edinburgh-based researchers who led a conversation on gay men and sexual health. Talking from the perspectives of public health, queer theory, and of course, from personal experience, this episode was insightful and thought-provoking.

Fantastic episode. Recorded in Leith due to the seagulls?? Haha.
I’m Jamie Stewart, living with far too many letters after my name. I’m not as professional in the way these 2 interviewees are but have lots to say about gayness and Christianity/faith, gayness and queerness, HIV and ageing, BPD, living in the 80s and 90s, coming out, and generations within gayworld.
I am articulate and have lots of lived experience: HIV, homelessness, mental illness, chem sex, being a church of England vicar and chaplain!

Hi Jamie,
That’s a good ear for the details; we were on the Royal Mile and there were many seagulls flying around there, we like to keep them as a background sound. Sometimes we have bagpipes too!
Thanks for your comment, it sounds you have a very rich lived experience with many interesting subjects we could talk about! Let’s organise something!
Best,
Edgar

I actually LIVE on the Royal Mile haha.
Listened to Ali and Chris in your latest podcast too. Volunteered with them.
I’m basically a person who has dipped his toe into many experiences, mostly driven by gay shame, as explored in Velvet Rage and StraightJacket.

I wrote a HUGE reply to this and the website/my phone wiped it. ARGH!
Anyway, please get in touch about this and other excellent topics.
