LGBTQ+ podcasts help connect those in the community with others and help allies to better understand the experiences of being lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, or another sexual and/or gender identity through storytelling, history, and personal interviews.
"Podcasts are an intimate way of immersing yourself in a topic that interests you. You can listen to them privately and on your own time," says queer therapist Madison McCullough. "Exploring your sexuality can be overwhelming, and podcasts are a great way to dip your toe in the water. You can pause and take breaks, relisten to particularly poignant parts, or move on if a particular topic or subject just isn't for you. Many podcasts have active listener communities too, which can be a great way for folks who haven't come out yet, or those who are exploring their sexuality to connect and find support."
