Episode notes

This week on the Virgin Radio Pridecast, Alex and Shivani are talking about something which nearly all of us use every single day - social media. But - is living life online really that positive, or are there downsides? And what effect does social media have on the LGBTQ+ community in particular?

You’ll hear from broadcaster Riyadh Khalaf on his experiences of getting trolled online, poet Sophia Blackwell on the pressure to share opinions on social media, YouTuber Calum McSwiggan on posting images of his body on Instagram, and more. Plus, Daryl Jackson is here as usual with your Virgin Radio Pride Weekly Update! 

Please note, some of the topics discussed in this episode might be sensitive and/or triggering. For help and support with any LGBTQ+ issues you might be facing, you can contact Switchboard on 0300 330 0630. Alternatively, the Samaritans are available twenty-four hours a day on 116 123.
