Customer Reviews
Complicated at best
Lonnnnnng time listener who has been growing tired of the show having a static idea of what queerness is. Finally had to unfollow today after the discussion of how “some queer content shouldn’t be made”. As someone who believes that we need MORE queer content and celebrates the fact that now we have so much content we can even celebrate the bad … I’m gonna celebrate this pod and the years of listening by giving you a 4 star rating but also unsubscribing.
Mixed feeling as of late..
Been skipping more and more eps ever since they changed the format to weekly single topic eps with rotating hosts. I'll hang in here for a bit longer but we'll see...
Love!
Now a Subscriber. Heart felt and knowledgeable conversations. Advocates for us Queer folks very refreshing to say the least. - what’s not refreshing is two of the speakers (3-15-23) injecting the filler word “like” into sentences multiple times. Maybe it’s a regional thing- but locally for me - not used to hearing it. And certainly not up to 5 times in one sentence. Just sayin. (It’s annoying) other than that- 5 stars!!
