QueerAF Podcast: Season Six, Episode Six – You may know ballroom from the legendary show “Pose” or “Paris is Burning” but this beautiful home curated for and by queer icons is becoming a worldwide community, with queer communities of colour, finding safety and unity in these spaces.
There’s nothing more queer than doing something because no-one else will. That is the story off Ballroom - from it’s New York blossoming, to as Anthony Pius will take us through in this episode of the QueerAF podcast with Trans+ History Week - it’s flourishing international growth from India to Wales - listen now in your podcast app
The history lesson we never had
The episode was produced as part of the QueerAF launchpad initiative Trans+ History Week. Season six of the podcast has been made by six Trans+ creatives who have been paid, mentored, and supported by the not-for-profit publisher QueerAF to make a show.
Each creative has also been given equipment to make the show, which they can keep forever, as part of an initiative to help more Trans+ creatives break into and succeed in the audio industry.
Make sure to subscribe for the whole season ahead with a new episode every Monday this pride season ahead.
