Apple Podcasts5lysatronixAustralia6 years ago - Gay Words from Down Under
So I was looking for some new podcasts to listen to, preferably concerning either LGBT issues or linguistics/words, and lo and behold I found Word of the Gay. I binged most of their previous episodes and now that I'm caught up, I have to tell you, not only is the theme song stuck in my head (not in an annoying way), but I've learned so much about Aussie LGBT culture, as well as getting a decent education about areas of LGBT life I've not experienced before. Be sure to catch their Drag Vocabulary... more

Canada6 years ago - Worst episode ever with Mary and Morgan
I love your podcast but the last uploade with Mary and Morgan was the worst episode ever!
your guests were talking over each other which disrupted the flow of conversation.
I hope you will be more mindful in future of the guests you invitite on the show and consider whether they really can add any value to the topic of discussion.
I was so disappointed after looking forward to a new episode after such a long break.
Hopefully it won't happen again.

Brendy & Leni take you on a cheeky ride through the gay lexicon. You’ve probably heard all these words or even seen them on TV, but do you their his/herstory? Through their research, thoughtful discussion, & personal experiences they explore the richness and fabulousness of our queer language & cultures. It’s like kiki-ing with your friends, & I’m busting up whilst listening to them on the bus or at the gym. Keep serving up that good tea! Y’alls are giving me life every time an episode comes out... more
