Bad Queers

by Shana & Kris

This podcast is for people who feel like they came out of the closet and got placed in a box. It’s time to put the u-haul theory to bed, and connect over being Bad Queers.  Join Kris and Shana, fellow Bad Queers, to discuss breaking stereotypes, owning your identity and their unpopular queer opinions. Bad Queers will leave you both offended and inspired by the news, stories and advice about the very fluid, very real LGBTQ+ experience.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This is the kind of podcast we need. I love the coverage ranging from the news, politics with a human rights focus, to sports, to pop culture and Hollywood buzz! The banter is unmatched. And I loooove the advice section towards the end. Thank you for putting this into the world!

Haven’t been offended by this show yet but have been relieved to feel seen. Hosts break down queer stereotypes and talk about timely culture references with humor and realness. Keep it coming!

Calen Ann · Apr 2025

"I discovered this podcast about a year ago and decided to give it a shot. It didn't take long for it to become one of my all-time favorites. The hosts are sharp, well-informed, and provide valuable insights. Their soothing voices are a bonus as I turn to podcasts to ease my nighttime anxiety, and this one never disappoints. Their relatability makes me feel like they'd be my best friends if we ever met in person, and that's a testament to their authenticity."
