Apple Podcasts5lysatronixAustralia5 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

Canada5 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.
