  • Hideous.

    2 uneducated unfunny queens do a podcast. Again!

    P.S ‘Queer’ is a homophobic slur that hasn’t been universally reclaimed.

  • 10/10 Highly Recommend

    I found you through my hunt for Pet Shop Boys podcasts and I have loved every minute of it! I started loving PSB when I was 5 years old (thanks to my older sisters) and have loved them ever since. Behavior is and will always be my favorite album. Your show has opened my ears to many other outstanding artists and albums and I will be forever grateful to you. Many hugs and wishes for whatever your future brings. All my love from Indiana, USA. #thingswilburlikes

  • OK

    But I REALLY dislike the use of the word “queer”. To me that sums up being beaten up by thugs when I was 17. That word will always have very negative connotations to me. Shame because the premise of the show is good

    Great Podcast, hosted by two very witty guys. When listening you feel like you’re sat in a cutesy wine bar talking with friends discussing the finer points of pop!
