Great guests and great interviews. Some nice insights into the guests, with anecdotes that I hadn’t hear before. I particularly enjoyed the Andy Bell and Rufus Wainwright episodes.
Apple Podcasts5south-pawUnited Kingdoma month ago - Love this.
I’m a bit late to the party with this one, however I’ve devoured most of them in one day. I love Jake’s interviewing style and the guests are wonderful to listen to. Please, please do another series as this is just fab.
Apple Podcasts5FerrismouseUnited Kingdoma month ago - Educational & energizing!
I’ve become a big fan of Jake Shears especially in his post-Scissor Sisters period as a multifaceted solo artist, author, musical theatre actor and now podcast host. Queer the Music is intelligent, engaging and a great slice of millennial and Gen X nostalgia giving Lance Bass’s pod a run for its money-love how the featured song plays us out at the end of each episode! Looking forward to one of my favourites, Rufus Wainwright coming up. I’d also love to see Jake interview Darren Hayes, Robbie Wil... more
