Queer Longing

It’s a big old pod this week full to the brim of juicy, scintillating queer bits!

Pull up a pew and join us for chats about all the great new queer media we’ve been trying to get through! We cover the intense new series of ‘Killing Eve’, the sparkling joy of ‘Booksmart’ and the big warm hug that is ‘Tales of the City’. We also get excited by the kick off (pun intended) of the FIFA Women’s World Cup and the memoir coming later this year from Tegan and Sara entitled ‘High School’- right up our street.

We also discuss the horrific attack of a queer couple on a London bus, the thoroughly disappointing fatphobic article from the Telegraph and the ridiculous treatment of Munroe Bergdorf by the NSPCC.

In addition to all that we just about have time for our first ever, extra special #CelineWatch inspired listener email! Keep ‘em coming, we love to hear from you.

Join us this week for a compact lil poddy in which we talk about our OTP (one true program) 'Cruising with Jane McDonald' and Olivia's toe curlingly funny encounter watching 'Gentleman Jack' with her nana. 

Lucy recommends new podcast fave 'Off Menu', which leads to drooling over dream foods and we look forward to the return of 'Love Island' as Olivia prepares Lucy to watch her first full ep.

Hello sweet gorgeous angel QL huns! We are so happy to be back and we welcome you back in with our queers arm WIDE open. 

After a long catch up about what we've been up to we talk Olivia's magical 'Line of Duty' theory, the jolly japes of 'Gentleman Jack' and the terrifyingly funny future of 'Years and Years'. 

Lucy also watches a full episode of 'Ru Paul's Drag Race' for the first time in years, and it's only the bloody Season 11 finale! 

We also talk about the importance of kink at Pride, the joyous news about Taiwan's new same sex marriage laws plus, signature segment I Don't Agree With It (TM) is back with a bang!

Oh hiya! We are back from our holidays with a big old queer bang this week! Join us for chats re new Netflix shows, 'Special' and 'Brene Brown: The Call to Courage'. We also talk about the gorgeous 'Pose' Christmas ep and have lots of feelings about queer family.

Plus we talk about all the books we’ve been chowing down on from ‘Educated’ by Tara Westover through to ‘Sula’ by Toni Morrison.

Oh and we do the absolute worst quiz ever to find out what kind of woman Lucy should go out with. Soz about that. Tracks of the week: Nina Simon, Wild is the Wind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiVDzTT4CbELizzo, Heaven Help Me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eg5Tw-NBNTk

If you really must do the quiz, you can find it here (but honestly, don't waste your time. You'll see how much we cut out.): https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2019/04/25/quiz-lesbians-bisexuals-what-kind-woman-date/

Enjoy sweet huns!

Oh hey huns! Here's a sweet little something for your ears to tide you over this week as Lucy took some poddy leave to prance about and eat lots of ice cream.

We hope you enjoy this short blooper reel of a bunch of the mistakes we've made creating the sweet baby pod for your listening pleasure! 

Never fear bebbis as we will be back with a bang next Wednesday and longing for you dearly until then! 

xoxo

Well hello sweet babes, another Wednesday, another stunning pod for your delectation.
