@jack_murley Thanks for all the stories you’ve told! We love the podcast down here in Australia! 🇦🇺

At the start of 2023, I promised myself I would do all I could to make the BBC's LGBT Sport Podcast even bigger than it was. More stories, more impact, more places. And hopefully, making more of a difference to the LGBTQ+ community that needs to hear our stories most. {THREAD}

This SPECIAL issue of the journal focuses on LGBTQIA+ topics in physical education and is guest edited by @DillonLandi, Sara Flory & @DrRyanStorr Check out their freely available editorial ⤵️ tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
