#PodcastBlackout Free Vers(e)

This month, in the wake of the BLM movement and Juneteenth, we are participating in #PodcastBlackout. Instead of our scheduled episode, we're amplifying black queer podcasts, and other organisations advocating and fighting for equity and the end of systemic racism.

We have been active on our Instagram feed this month, and many resources that offer support to and learning about the BLM movement are saved to our highlights. We encourage you to donate, if you can, and be an outspoken activist in this movement.

Partly inspired by our great predecessors History is Gay, we're listing here the Black-created podcasts that you should check out and financially support if possible:
