In this episode, we ask Prof. Stoneley about the ordinary people he found serving time in Reading Gaol, how the building can seen as a site of queer heritage, the importance of queer representation in the archives, and the future of Gaol (which became unexpectedly relevant with the addition of a new Banksy on the prison's walls!).
