  • Love these two

    Great podcast. Recent episode from 7/9/25 discussed companies that remained allies for this years pride, and which did not because it wasn’t trendy or “safe” given current political climate. Appreciate these two for reminding everyone that being gay isn’t political

  • Not terrible

    Definitely feels homemade but hosts are earnest and it fills a need. Audio quality needs attention. You have to put volume to highest setting to hear the conversation but then you get eardrums destroyed by the ads. Really hoping things improve because there’s room for a pod like this in the mainstream
