Customer Reviews
All people that feel or have felt different need to listen 🌈💜🕺
Fantastic podcast that sees and hears everyone for their authentic selves. The hosts bring out the best in their guests. As a listener, you will hear real conversations that aren’t scripted and actually show the true character of the guests and the hosts. I’ve learned so much about queer history from this podcast. I am so thankful for all the people that challenged and fought for our right to love who we choose. Because of you this podcast exists and because of this podcast our community will continue to move forward and be seen and heard. 🌈💜
Impressive
I am an old guy but I grew up when being in the closet was a must if you grew up in the south where I was raised. If you didn’t want to get beat up or worse. I am so proud that these amazing men are out, married with great careers. I am 66 married to a man. I remember having to get my friend Linda to attend the company Christmas party as a beard. That was years ago but at the time it was the only way to stay employed and perhaps alive. It was a bit scary. Congrats guys carry on. May our futures as LGBTQ become even better perhaps because of men like you.

LOVES IT!!
Pride cast is so fun and important for the squirrls! All the episodes are fantastic, but I think Jon, James, & Danny need a podcast together. (Even if it’s just a drag race recap or something) I love that you can hear, feel, sense the genuine friendship and love for each other!
Love you guys!! Keep up the great work!!
