For the last ISLINGTON MILL AND... podcast of 2025 I am joined by returning guest miqx of the Radical Faeries to discuss charity and community, and because the conversation went on for so long (and is so good!) I have decided to split it into two parts.

Here is part 2, where we talk about charity and how it should work, both ideally and practically, including the Islington Mill Charity Board and its place within the larger Islington Mill community.

For the last ISLINGTON MILL AND... podcast of 2025 I am joined by returning guest miqx of the Radical Faeries to discuss charity and community, and because the conversation went on for so long (and is so good!) I have decided to split it into two parts. Here is part 1, where we discuss creating and maintaining community, at Islington Mill and further afield, as well as miqx's long history of radical queer activism.

You can find out more about miqx's story on our previous podcast interview here: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-isxg3-12b155b and part 2 of our recent conversation (focussing on charity) will be coming out tomorrow. Enjoy!

For the October 2025 edition of the Islington Mill podcast, I am joined by the queer author Sam Jenks to talk about his just-published novel "Homoland" and his queer writing/publishing project dif that is best summed up by its slogan "misfit gay lit and other queer shit"
