History in the making! This is the UK's first regular mainstream show for bisexuals. Hosted by bi activist and writer Lewis Oakley and bisexual journalist Ashley Byrne with comedian and actor Samantha Baines, Bisexual Brunch is a unique podcast for people from all over the world who identify as bi to come together and celebrate their sexuality.  Bisexual Brunch along with former host Nichi Hodgson, Ashley and Lewis were included in the UK Pride Power List  2021. Lewis managed to stay in the list in 2022 and soared to No 79 while MIM, the production company behind Bisexual Brunch was also named UK Production Company of the Year 2021 (Silver winner). Most recently it was revealed Bisexual Brunch's listening figures are in the top 10% of podcasts worldwide - and the show reaches 108 countries, more than half the world!


In this July 2024 episode, Ashley and Lewis react to Labour's refusal to engage in the Bisexual Brunch issues conversation both before and after the General Election in the UK. Ashley meets Eddie from Orlando who came out later in life as bisexual, roving reporter Stan Morgan meets a gaggle of bi women to discuss those calls for straight male partners of bi women to stay away from some Pride events. We find out how there are more bi people in Scotland than gay according to the latest census figures - and we meet Emma from Killing Kittens which is helping bi women and now bi men to explore their sexuality in a safe space.

Ashley and Sam guide us through nearly 3 hours of bi chat including the rather bizarre and worrying debate over whether straight male partners of bi women should be allowed to attend LGBT Pride events.  A straight woman from London tells us how she felt when her long term partner revealed he was bisexual. We hear about the results of a new study into what it's like to be a bi man living in the UK. Ashley is joined by Bisexual Brunch listener Andrew Prescott from Rhode Island and actor and writer Tom Ward-Thomas to give their verdict on Challengers, the Hollywood movie that teased a bisexual threesome. Ashley outlines the Bisexual Brunch specials challenging the political parties in the run up to the General Election and Sarah from Scotland 'Asks a Bisexual' - she's 28 and never dated a man before. How should she go about it?
