The UK Black Pride Time Capsule Podcast is for listening to in this moment. But it’s also a blast from the past – an audio history of the biggest Black Pride festival in the world, and the struggles and triumphs of the legendary lesbians who started it back in the day. After all the episodes have been published, the series will, quite literally, be in the can. The audio files will be sealed in a capsule and buried for future generations in the Olympic Park in London, where the UKBP celebrations take place. www.aiaistudios.com www.instagram.com/aiai.studios www.ukblackpride.org.uk
