Classical Queeros
Classical QueerosClassical music can seem so straight, white, and boring. Hosts Shahid Osuna and Alice Park are on a mission to prove that it's not! Each episode, Shahid and Alice take turns teaching the listeners and each other about a queer hero in classical music who often goes ignored. They're here to gay up the classical sphere - and to remind us all that we can take everything a little less seriously.

- The podcast is a whole vibe
Alice and Shahid put all my music professors to shame. They are so fun to listen to and really appear to dig in deeper to lost voices of the past and make them relevant again in the present. Congrats on such a unique project and I’m so happy to see you both adding fresh flavor into classical music!
