Fun
A Gay and NonGay is the UK’s #1 award-winning LGBTQ+ podcast hosted by comedians James Barr and Dan Hudson (James is Gay, Dan is NonGay. The podcast reluctantly began when James' friend Talia moved abroad, leaving him and her boyfriend to fend for themselves. This is the hilarious tale of two unlikely heroes forming new friendships, challenging our preconceptions of each other, and crossing divides. A blend of conversations around day-to-day life, differences in perceptions, homophobia, coming out, mental health and lighter topics like dating and Dan learning all about douching. “It's always been our mission to talk openly and promote equality, freedom and friendship whilst making our listeners laugh.”
Storytelling
A podcast about Queer Africans Living, Loving, Surviving and Thriving on the African continent and in the Diaspora.
“AfroQueer is a podcast from AQ Studios telling the stories of Queer Africans from across the continent and diaspora.
Our podcast celebrates queer love and explores the laws affecting our lives, migration, media, race, class, censorship, family and sex (obviously). Along the way, we also share some bitter truths of what it means to be Queer and African, but also spotlight individuals shifting the landscape of African queerness.”
