Customer Reviews
Fun and Indulging!!
This podcast delivers that queer poc media analysis that you didn’t know you needed. The convos are both thought-provoking and playful, giving seemingly light-hearted fluffy media depth by exploring themes and implications. I have listened since the beginning and will keep coming back for more episodes :)
Lurve the show
So insightful and fun. Huge fan! Everyone should listen!
THANK YOU!
Ok so I also watch a lot of tv and have been in grad school getting my masters in ethnic studies, so as someone who feels like they study, live, learn and breathe these the lens of race, class, gender and sexuality, this podcast gives me LIFE! So interesting to always hear your critiques and give me so much more to grapple with as I watch thru the mountains of tv out there, so thank you for bringing this for the queer, trans, Black, Indigenous, folx of color!
