Much needed

I love listening to the guests that Tariq invites onto Entertainment Queerly. The personal stories that they (and Tariq!) share are deeply profound and moving. I’ve grown more comfortable with recognizing, owning, and naming my own life story just by listening to this first lovely season. Also, each episode we get amazing recommendations for other great queer entertainment to check out as well. This is a podcast I had no idea I needed.

Fantastic Podcast with Powerful Stories that must be HEARD!

I love entertainment industry podcasts, and I’m happy to have found a new show to add to my favorites list! Tariq is a wonderful host, he’s endearing, a natural speaker, and does an amazing job at creating a positive environment for the guests to share their experiences and perspectives. I cant wait for more episodes to come out,l; we need to hear more LGBTQ+ stories - both from the entertainment industry, but on a society level as well. Tariq’s guests have done so much in this space, I can’t wait to see how this podcast and how Tariq continues to push for these voices! SUBSCRIBED!! 😁

Excellent podcast!

Tariq holds excellent conversations with his guests on the queer experience. It’s great for me to learn about it as someone outside the community, and I think it will be a great listen for you whether you’re in or not! Amazing podcast.
