Hello and welcome to Season 2 of The Cheer Up Luv Podcast, hosted by Eliza Hatch! In this week's episode I am speaking to the phenomenal, groundbreaking icon that is Travis Alabanza. Travis is an established writer, performer, and theatre maker, known for their outstanding pieces that engage audiences in the conversation around trans politics and the queer experience.

In this Ep we speak about using art for activism, victim blaming, the contradiction of being hyper visible and invisible in public spaces, and so much more. *Trigger Warning* We will be discussing themes to do with transphobia and a story of sexual harassment towards the end of the show.

You can find Travis's work here: http://travisalabanza.co.uk/ and here @travisalabanza
