How to be gay and happy - breaking the 'Straight Jacket' - Matthew Todd Former Attitude Magazine Editor

QueerAF is the&nbsp;award-winning (more than a) podcast with beyond-the-binary stories about queerness, history, sexuality, gender and identity from the UK's only press-regulated not-for-profit LGBTQIA+ publisher with a new episode out every Monday this Pride season. QueerAF helps you understand the LGBTQIA+ world and support queer creatives to change the media. All our shows are created by a&nbsp;different budding LGBTQIA+ audio producer who we mentor and support to create an inspiring queer story. As well as a mix of mini-documentaries and limited series, look out for our live podcast specials, with celebrities, activists and inspiring speakers. The podcast, with its roots and first four seasons in collaboration with National Student Pride, and later seasons with Trans+ History Week gives young queer creatives a crucial leg up on the career ladder. For many, it is their first paid audio commission. Our alumni have gone on to work at some of the UK's biggest media outlets including the BBC, PinkNews and Gaydio. <ul><li>British Podcast Awards&nbsp;'Moment Of The Year' winner (Bronze)</li><li>Four British Podcast Awards nominations</li><li>ARIAS&nbsp;2021 'Impact Award' shortlisted</li></ul> Download and take the UK's best LGBTQIA+ inspiring stories podcast with you.
