Click here to listen to the recently launched 2020 Podship Winner, Invisible Threads. Hosted by James O'Hagan, Invisible Threads tells the powerful stories of 8 older members of the LGBTQ+ community as they open up about their experience living as a queer person living in Ireland, with contributions from psychologist Dr Paul D'Alton.

From coming out prior to the decriminalisation of homosexuality, gender dysphoria and conversion therapy, Invisible Threads features raw, honest conversations with members of the community, including Mrs. Brown's Boys star Eilish O'Carroll. These are stories that needed to be heard and through the GoLoud Podship it became possible.
