Near and Queer to My Heart

Our latest episode features pansexual performer Lisa Laureta. Lisa does it all! She does stand-up, voiceovers, animation, characters, and so much more. Lisa tells us about naked comedy (yes it is a thing and no it is not sexual!), her coming out journey, and learning what happiness means to her.

We are back with our newest episode featuring queer indie filmmaker and podcaster Bri Castellini. We talk with Bri about her upcoming move to Los Angeles, her journey to coming out as bi-sexual and asexual, and we somehow we land on the topic of the toxicity of white supremacy. This episode has it all!

Our first ever crossover episode! We have joined forces with the Southern Queeries podcast to bring you one of their episodes.

In this episode they talk to Eveleena a.k.a Ivy Les Vixens, mental health advocate, YouTuber, and founder of the Florida burlesque company Les Vixens about the value of femininity in the queer community and how burlesque can be a safe space for the the LGBTQ community. Oh, and it gets a little nerdy for a bit!
