The Untamed Mic

Grab your faux fur and fiercest sunglasses—Glitter & Glaciers is calling! Join Michael Aycox as we spill Viking tea, dive into Norway’s jaw-dropping fjords, and break down why this cruise is more than just a trip—it's an experience. Expect Viking history with a queer twist, must-know travel tips, outrageous theme nights, and a front-row seat to adventure. Where luxury meets legacy, and camp meets culture.

Pack your glitter, babes — we’re taking off! In this premiere episode of The Untamed Mic, Michael Aycox (your head queen in charge of escapism) spills the tea on what Out and Untamed is all about. From sequins in the fjords to shirtless booking assistants, you'll get the full rundown of our mission to queer the map, connect the community, and give back while looking damn good doing it.

We’re diving into our upcoming trips — like Glitter & Glaciers and Blue Line Unzipped — plus teasing a not-yet-announced philanthropic partnership that’s going to gag you (in a good way). Add in a few spicy LGBTQ+ travel tips and a vision for the future of this podcast, and baby, you’ve got yourself one untamed debut.

This isn’t just a vacation. It’s a movement with a cocktail in hand.
Hit play, get loud, and let’s stamp this journey with pride.

Welcome to the premiere of The Untamed Mic! In this episode, host Michael Aycox takes you down under to sun-drenched Sydney — the birthplace of Out and Untamed. From clothing-optional beaches and queer-safe spaces to dreamy hikes through the Blue Mountains and grilled barramundi realness, it’s a story of freedom, flavor, and fabulous firsts. Grab your SPF and come get a taste of how untamed travel really feels.
