Each episode of Backstory features an interview with a fabulous person from the gay community focusing on their gay backstory. We start with the question 'when did you first realised you were gay?' and take it from there.
The Backstory interviews are created by Jo Jepson-Davies who runs the website EXHETRA. Extending from Jo sharing her coming out story through a series of blogs on the site, Jo is looking to create a large library of Backstories to share with all communities. Jo believes through understanding this leads to acceptance. She wants to share more gay stories with the world.

3 MAR 2019 · Dutch bartender Tess Posthumus and co-founder of Flying Dutchmen Cocktails in Amsterdam shares her Backstory with EXHETRA creator and Backstory curator Jo Jepson-Davies.
Tess Posthumus fell in love with mixology after moving to Amsterdam from her hometown of Breda, where she worked in catering, events, restaurants and bars. In addition to studying at the University of Amsterdam, she joined the team at Door 79 in 2009.
In December last year, Posthumus held a soft launch for her new venue, launched with former Door 74 manager Timo Janse, called Flying Dutchmen Cocktails. The venue officially opened its doors in March 2018.
A regular on the cocktail competition circuit, Tess has learn to work in a male dominated industry. She has reached the Dutch National finals in Diageo World Class and was one of four Dutch winners in Bombay Sapphire’s Most Imaginative Bartender competition.Tess has written a cocktail book, called Cocktails met Tess.
Along with her Backstory, Tess gives us an insight into the gay scene in Amsterdam, which I found quite disappointing. As Tess says at the end of the interview 'there is still alot to do'.
I love Tess' honest and open approach to her gay life and I am so pleased she continues to discuss it and live an out and proud life.
NOTE: New to podcasting, unfortunately I didn't use my mic muff for this interview which would have been essential to keep any wind off the mic, so I am sorry if the sound is a bit poor in places. I am learning.
