Hey everyone, Its Liam.

Back in 2013, I moved away from music radio and started my journey into Radio Documentary making. My very first radio documentary is the one that you are about to hear; it also happens to be my favourite still.

Its a documentary about Transgender and Laura Jane Grace. Back in 2012, Laura came out very openly in Rolling Stone Magazine as Transgender, and since then Laura has been at the for the front of Transgender issues and rights. But back in 2013 (when this doc came out), Transgender wasnt spoke about as public, and I wanted to work with laura to change that. So that what I did.

The documentary is Laura's story but its Presented by the very talented Paris Lees who has gone on to be a vocal leader of Trans issues in the UK. Also, this was the last time I got to work with Mike D the former presenter of the Radio 1 Punk Rock Show when I went back to Reading Festival to interview Chuck Regain for the doc.

This Doc is over five years old now, but I still think it holds up.

So why am I putting this out on the Punks in Pubs Podcast?

Well, three reasons,

1, I now own the documentary (The BBC own any doc you make for five years) Even though I own the doc, I have to remove all elements of the BBC from it. So at times, you may hear a random cut or a reversal of audio.

2, Today (31st March) is Trans Day Of Visibility. So seem fitting to release it today.

3. It's packed full of Punk music, and that's what we are all about.

So sit back and enjoy my very first documentary.

We are back on Sunday with an interview with Gallows Lags.

STAY INDOORS, Laters
