It feels like life is pulling many of us down at the moment — so we asked each other: what do you do to stay afloat? We discuss swimming, solo cinema trips, birds and well-stocked food cupboards.

Why have one adolescence when you can have two? That’s the reality for many LGBTQ+ people. So let’s talk about what happens when you come out (or let people in), and unleash a whole new era on yourself. Sex, friendships, romance, lifestyle — all these things are up for grabs again a second time around for many queer people. Why is that? And what does psychology research say about it? -Adam + Tash Discussed in this episode: The Second Adolescence of LGBTQ+ Adulthood, Psychology Today (2023) The importance of sexual and romantic development in understanding the developmental neuroscience of adolescence Sexual Development Through the Lifespan Sex, Clubs, Dissent: Visualising Queer Nightlife by Amelia Abraham (ed) Heartstopper (Netflix) We Are Who We Are (HBO/BBC) Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thelogbooks.

We’ve got a star guest this week! Tino Orsini is a versatile character actor — you might have seen him playing the artist Banksy in Ted Lasso. For his next trick he’ll be on stage performing an intimate solo show about his own dark past. It’s all based around the time he tried to make it in Hollywood. We loved hearing Tino’s reflections on immigration, addiction, sex, family secrets and, of course, showbiz. His new show is called Ghosts of West Hollywood and it’s on 2-7 June at the Et Cetera theatre in London. -Adam + Tash Aunt Nell: Instagram | YouTube | website The Log Books is hosted and produced by Tash Walker and Adam Zmith The assistant producer is Mia Campbell Music from Soundstripe Original artwork by Natalie Doto Thanks to the dreamboats at Acast Seasons 1-3, from 2019-22, were co-produced with Shivani Dave, in partnership with Switchboard.
