Following a five-star-rated first season with recognition from Apple Podcast’s Pride Collection, I’m Feeling Queer Today! is back for more.
In Season 2, we’re diving even deeper into the world of LGBTQIA+ culture and taking a look at the intersections of queerness and disability, neurodivergence, gender, and geography. You’ll hear from a disability justice scholar, a queer business owner adopting a ‘non-binary business model,’ and of course, queer youth of today as we carry you through vulnerable discussions, interviews, autobiographical writing, original music, and so much more.
Let us know what you think of our latest episode, share any topics you'd like us to cover on the podcast, and don't forget to tell us:
how are YOU feeling queer today?
