QueerAF Podcast

QueerAF is the award-winning one-of-a-kind podcast that pays, mentors and supports LGBTQIA+ young people with vital stories to tell.

Each week you can listen to beyond the binary stories about queerness, sexuality, gender and identity.

With its roots in collaboration and with funding from National Student Pride, we have been giving young queer creatives a crucial leg up on the career ladder. For many, it is their first paid audio commission.

All our shows are created with a budding LGBTQIA+ audio producer, and our live shows guest hosted by Evan Davis are a highlight of each season.

We've won in the British Podcast Awards 'Moment Of The Year' category, with four nominations over the years too. We've also been recognised by the ARIAS 2021 'Impact Award' and have broad industry recognition of how vital our project it.

Our award-winnning productions, are more than just podcasts

Behind the scenes, QueerAF's podcasts, productions and content schemes are way more than about creating delightful sounds for your ears.

The QueerAF podcast is just one of our programmes that is signposted by industry leaders and diversity initiatives because we help under-represented queer voices build media, audio and podcast careers.

We mentor the creatoves through pitching, producing, and distributing their sound-designed podcast episodes.

But our support goes further – from support with invoicing and tax to peer support.

We teach our mentees the values, ethics and 'moral fibre' a freelance audio producer needs to succeed from pitch to payment.

Our alumni have gone on to have incredible careers at the BBC, Radio 1, Radio 4, PinkNews, Sony Music, Gaydio and many other top-tier media companies.
