Naga Munchetty: 'My most memorable interviewee of the year? A nurse'

The broadcaster on her small-screen loves and hates of 2020, and her experience covering the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement on the BBC

Have you been watching much TV away from news this year, and do you in general?
Well, I don’t usually watch too much TV. My thing was always going out, playing golf and running, and the TV was on in the background. I work in television, and sometimes you need a break. But that has all changed. I’ve watched a lot in lockdown.

When Brooklyn was queer: telling the story of the borough's LGBTQ past

In a new book, Hugh Ryan explores the untold history of queer life in Brooklyn from the 1850s forward, revealing some unlikely truths For five years Hugh Ryan has been hunting queer ghosts through the streets of Brooklyn, amid the racks of New York’s public libraries, among its court records and yellow newspaper clippings to build a picture of their lost world. The result is When Brooklyn Was Queer, a funny, tender and disturbing history of LGBTQ life that starts in an era, the 1850s, when those letters meant nothing and ends before the Stonewall riots started the modern era of gay politics.
