QueerAF | Inspiring LGBTQIA+ stories told by emerging queer creatives
QueerAF
QueerAF is the award-winning (more than a) podcast with beyond-the-binary stories, mini-documentaries and live podcast events about queerness, history, sexuality, gender and identity from the UK's only press-regulated not-for-profit LGBTQIA+ publisher.
QueerAF helps you understand the LGBTQIA+ world and support queer creatives to change the media. All our shows are created by a different budding LGBTQIA+ audio producer who we mentor and support to create an inspiring queer story. As well as a mix of mini-documentaries and limited series, look out for our live podcast specials, with celebrities, activists and inspiring speakers.
The podcast, with its roots and first four seasons in collaboration with National Student Pride, and later seasons with Trans+ History Week gives young queer creatives a crucial leg up on the career ladder. For many, it is their first paid audio commission. Our alumni have gone on to work at some of the UK's biggest media organisati,ons including the BBC, Global and Gaydio.

- ARIAS 2021 'Impact Award' shortlisted
- British Podcast Awards 2020 'Moment Of The Year' - Bronze
