About this listen

Welcome to 'A Gay Old Time' with Nigel May.


This series is a celebration of a beautiful queer community; people of all ages, people who have had to tread their own path to live their real truth, who have fought with their emotions and emerged victorious, who inspire, who aspire and always entertain.


Every week, I'll speak to a person from the LGBTQ+ rainbow to hear their story; one person, one life, one conversation. And I'll guarantee, a Gay Old Time!

  • Peter Tatchell "I hope I'm still shaking a protest placard in my nineties"
    Feb 11 2026

    Nigel's guest today is Peter Tatchell. Peter is quite simply one of the most important figures in the queer community. He has been campaigning for human rights, democracy, LGBT+ freedom and global justice since 1967. Fearless in his protests, Peter has been responsible for being part of some of the most pivotal and beneficial changes the queer community has seen in recent times. Introducing Prides, fighting HIV stigma, the legalisation of same-sex marriage…the list goes on and Peter, now in his seventies, has no intention of stopping his fight any time soon. He is a true icon.

  • Sapphira Cristál "I've pretty much pansexual since I was four years old"
    Feb 4 2026

    Nigel's guest today is Sapphira Cristál. Sapphira is a drag sensation who the world fell in love with when she was runner-up and Miss Congeniality on Season 16 of Rupaul’s Drag Race US. She is also a classically trained opera singer, a multi-award-winning pageant queen and a stand up comedy star too with her fantastic show One Slue Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. She identifies as pansexual, polyamorous and non-binary and in her own words “loves people”. Her journey to where she is today is one she is deeply proud of, and rightly so.
