  • #1 like, so I mean, riot grrrl (chop shop edition)
    Cheers to the queers (and our allies)! Welcome to our first episode of Qweird! This week we're talking about the riot grrrl movement, and how it inspired us to put ourselves out there and "bang our own instruments." Join us each week as we tell stories about our queer lives, and hear the stories of the queers we've met along the way. 
    Shout out to all the ladies, transfolk, and non-binary pioneers who paved the way.

About Qweird

From the publisher's feed

Better than high tea with the Queen, it's a podcast featuring Nicole, a boat nerd, and Yvie, a cottage-core WINO (witch in name only), telling stories about our queer lives & talking to our cool, queer friends about their glittery adventures riding the rainbow - who could ask for anything more?
