Garrett and Will Huxley, or The Huxleys, are my final conversation of 2026.

Divine queer deities making art in every form imaginable, their striking costumes, multi-media exhibitions, and powerful tributes to other queer artists create profoundly moving responses.

In my first chat with a couple (!), we cover everything from teenage communing with the Velvet Underground, to making pilgrimage to see Kate Bush live in London, and much, much more in between.

You can find the Huxleys' iconic Bloodlines exhibition in Brisbane in October and November 2026.

We recorded this chat in two parts between June and October 2026, on Wurendjuri and Wiradjuri land.

Loose Ends, one of Australia's finest queer parties, turns 20 years old this weekend.

To celebrate this incredible milestone, I asked the party's den mother and my very good friend Matt Vaughan about his own partying history, it's outrageous longevity, and why queers need the dancefloor now more than ever - while iconic Australian performers share their own musings on what makes Loose Ends so special.

Whether you're a long-time Loose Ends attendee or you're a Tracks of Our Queers listener with an interest in queer nightlife, there's something here for you.

Thank you to Matt Vaughan, Mic Simeoni, Ayebatonye, Aunty Jonny, Betty Grumble, Megana, and Hip Hop Hoe.

This episode was produced and recorded by me, Andy Gott, on Gadigal and Wiradjuri land.

Jackie Kay is a poet, writer, and former Makar: The National Poet for Scotland.

I first heard Jackie on my own favourite podcast Desert Island Discs, which lead me to her own works: Trumpet, the story of a mixed race trans musician; and her wonderful memoir Red Dust Road.

This episode is exactly why I continue to make this podcast - I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed talking to Jackie.

Bruce Vilanch is a legendary writer and actor across Hollywood, Broadway, television, and most recently, memoir, with the release of his autobiography It Seemed Like a Bad Idea at the Time!

I first encountered Bruce as a guest judge in the early seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race, but his pivotal partnership in Bette Midler's career from her shows in gay bathhouses up to the writers room for Hocus Pocus 3 (!) is his ultimate qualifier for this very show.

You actually can't find Bruce online on Instagram or X, which I kind of love.
