1. “Let Your Flag Fly” – The Hanky Code

Society & Culture

Whatcha flagging? Going out these days may not be as simple as just picking some of your favourite coloured garments to wear. In some communities ‘The Hanky Code’ is a way for queer people to distinguish what others could perhaps be up for, sexually. On this week’s show the Hide & Seek team delve into a practice which has been part of the kink and fetish community for decades. Is it still relevant today? What colour means what? What does everyone think? All this and more on this week’s special about “The Hanky Code”.

What do you think of our new format?

We’d love to know what you think of the new Hide and Seek.
