Words from Tash Walker about The Log Books: Voices of Queer Britain and the Helpline that Listened.

Lauren welcomes you to a brand-new week with uplifting tunes in the daily 6 of the Best playlist, we take a moment to reflect something beautiful happening with our 6 Music listeners in the Beauty Spot, and look forward to the day ahead in A View from the Afternoon.

Also, we'll have words from Tash Walker about The Log Books: Voices of Queer Britain and the Helpline that Listened. Co-written by Tash Walker and Adam Zmith, the book is an intimate history of LGBTQ+ life over four decades, discovered in a stash of forgotten, handwritten notes.
