Coming up on show 61

The first new show back on BST features more conversation from the launch of the London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival, including indie filmmakers Lisa Gornick and Campbell discussing "flirting through the mind" and producer Alex Thiele explaining the market for lesbian features.

Time Change

The clocks went forward this morning, meaning Odd Girl Out now runs on BST. This should start with today's repeat.

Coming up on Odd Girl Out show 60

Ooh! The big 6-0 beckons, with more cinematic delights, on the theme of the 25th (and possibly, final) London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. I have a frank interview with BFI director Amanda Nevill, outlining the impact of government funding cuts on the festival, plus indie filmmakers Lisa Gornick and Campbell discussing their involvement in the intriguing-sounding feature The Owls. Soundtracked by turbo-powered tunage.

Odd Girl Out: show 58

Odd Girl Out OR58 by Val_Phoenix on Mixcloud

Back live again and both speakers were working. But, gremlins crept into one of the CD players, which had to be replaced mid-show. And then I had a brain wave in the last three minutes. But, the other 114 minutes were awesome. Honest.
