SNACK’s favourite LGBT+ podcasts

There is a limit to the amount of times you can indulge in the plethora of audio gold our favourite divas gifted to us last year. Even I can only listen to Madame X so many times in one week. Perhaps you should move gears and indulge in some LGBT-friendly podcasts? As luck would have it, we have taken the liberty of compiling some necessary podcasts for your perusal, a veritable feast of gems that will appeal to people from all walks of life. LGBT+ or ally, there is something here for you. Whether you are looking to laugh, learn or walk in someone else’s shoes, these podcasts will hopefully point you in the right direction.

Along the way, we also share some bitter facts of what it means to be Queer and African, but also spotlight individuals shifting the landscape of African queerness." The latest episode features Tshepo Ricki Kgositau who talks through her experience of transitioning.
