    Another week, another pod! Call this a resurgence, call it a new era, call it what you want to, call me by your name.


    Very importantly we begin this pod by discussing how we're both pro swimmers now and our favourite Sims and Olivia's top pick in a bag of Magic Stars. The content has never been so tight, honestly.

    We have a big discussion regarding the disappointing actions of Manchester Pride and the importance of remembering that pride is ours and we can do what we need and want with it.

    Lucy recommends new tense, wild ride movie 'Zola' and new podcast from iconic living legend Charli XCX featuring gorge goofball Christine and the Queens. Plus, Olivia talks up the great revived play 'Constellations', for more info of which see here: https://www.nimaxtheatres.com/shows/constellations/

    Enjoy sweet bbis! And remember, don't yuck someone else's yum xo

    Oh hi, we've had a jam packed week of bits and we're here to let you know all about them because that's exactly what you want isn't it? And we live, love and long to give you what you want.


    We talk about finally being back in safe queer spaces, being the rowdiest group at any event and our new shared gaming obsession- Catan.

    As ever we've got hot recs spilling out of us from new food pod 'Comfort Eating with Grace Dent', brilliant TV 'This Way Up' and the most claustrophobic movie you'll ever see 'Shiva Baby'. Plus, we describe a bunch of other things as camp, so you're not going to want to miss that.

    Plus, we chat writing in the horror genre and other horrors such as Matt Damon and the IOC x

    Sweet babies we hope you've been keeping hydrated and fresh af during this #unprecedented heatwave. We talk about being hot because it's what's been going on okay?!


    We take a quick jaunt to Sporty Spice corner to cover the queer news of the Olympics before diving into our thoughts on the final season of 'Atypical' which does tender portrayals of interpersonal relationships to a tee. Plus, the unexpected joy of seeing pure grown man friendship in 'The Kominsky Method'.

    Plus we lay down the law re letting people feel how they are feeling and the absolute tedium of trying to sell clothes online.

    Ba shug baby xoxo

  • Take the Friendship Pill
    Well hello our little hot girl summers. How are we doing? It's been SIX WEEKS since our last confession/ podcast and we have missed you and it! 
    But needs must when the beach calls and the devil drives. We have lots to catch up on this week from summer holiday antics, Lucy's writing success (already picked out my room in her future McMansion), Olivia's Nancy Meyer's obsession and an in-depth review of Lauryn Redding's amazing one-woman show 'Bloody Elle' at the Royal Exchange Theatre, if you like early noughties lesbian nostalgia, big lols and big cries, this is an absolute must-see theatre experience. We review our latest queer TV favourites from Feel Good S2 to the final season of Shrill, discuss to club or not to club in a less-restricted world and debate the age old question, can you date your mates? 
    SUMMER, 2021!

  • Pints of Negroni

    We're back baby! We took a lil break to rejuve in the new way of things and have finally got round to having time to record our sweet poddy bb!


    And how we missed you! We give you a big old catch up of what we've been up to, cue: hot tubs, Eurovision and stanning Olivia Rodrigo, obv.

    It's Pride Month huns! We talk what's making us proud, how the whole of summer is our time and how excited we are to be able to take part in some queer centric events IN PERSON this year.  

    Don't worry! We've still been consuming a shit ton of content so we drop in a couple of our highlights. From the gorgeously queer Lena Waithe co-written series of 'Master of None' to new laugh-until-you-cry comedy special from Bo Burnham, 'Inside'.

    Pour yourselves a cold one huns, summer's here and she's ready to be a wild one xoxo

  • NO DEPRESSION

    This week we discuss what things are NO DEPRESSION and why it's basically 'Trolls World Tour' and how that's all you need to know.


    Plus, we've both become 100% solidified Mare Of Easttownies so we talk a bit more about how it's not doing anything new but how it is doing everything right.

    We've got a couple of queer films to recommend, from Brooklyn teen queer longing in 'Beach Rats' through to passionate paleontology in 'Ammonite'. The latter of which sparks a wider discussion of the somewhat frustrating paradigm of lesbian relationships in film and why there seems to be a trend for petticoat pieces when it comes to depicting love and lust between women.

  • There's a Best Day Inside of All of Us

    Howdy huns! We've taken a break from our newly packed social lives to bring you a brand new ep! (2 events a week is a social life, right? Asking for a friend.)


    This week we talk not knowing how to be drunk anymore whilst Olivia manifests her best Britney energy in a stunning headset before we give you our low-down on top book of the discourse, 'Detransition, Baby', spoiler alert- it's great.

    We've also been watching some great telly, from tense thrillers 'The Flight Attendant' and 'Mare of Easttown' to gorgeous queer high-school show 'Generation' and all the gorge contestants on 'Glow Up'.

    Plus, we introduce you to the concept of your Best Day and trust us, you're gonna want to know about it.

    Keep safe and stunning sweet bbis xoxo

  • I Belive in a Thing Called The Sesh

    Why hello gorgeous bbis, welcome to Queer Longing and welcome to two pals who are very much on for THE SESH. 

    This week we mourn the passing of our youth as Olivia recommends the walking app 'All Trails' and we discuss our future identities once Coronavirus restrictions begin to lift. Spoiler alrt- it will mainly be Lucy looking the BEST she's ever looked. 

    We have book recs from 90s classic 'The Bridges of Madison County' to memoir 'Tranny' by Against Me!'s Laura Jane Grace. Plus, a earnest moment for cloud appreciation.

  • A Cocktail With Satan

    Join us as we pull out all the Easter references Lucy's limited religious upbringing can muster in this weeks gorge ep.


    First and foremost, we become a full on Lil Nas X fan podcast, as is only right and proper after the long awaited release of storming banger 'Montero (Call Me By Your Name)'. We see you Lil Nas and we agree with it.

    If you want to know who are Sex and the City boyfriends are you are going to have to listen in as Olivia recommends great SATC podcast 'So I Got To Thinking'. We also chat fun pod 'We're Having Gay Sex' and the new podcast from ultimate hun Shon Faye, 'Call Me Mother', which offers up insightful chats with queer elders, helping us to feel more connected with our queer history.

    Plus, we've read the arresting 'If I Had Your Face' by Frances Cha which tells the tale of a group of women navigating life in South Korea and also 'In The Dream House' by Carmen Maria Machado, a powerful memoir of abuse in a same-sex relationship.

    Track of the Week:
