🌈 PRIDE 🏳️🌈
Podcast Recommendations: Celebrating Pride Month
June 28, 2021
Hello all you beautiful people.
It’s been a minute! As some of you may know, we love to celebrate special times with the only way we know how...through podcasts! Here at EarBuds, podcasts are our love language. When something is worth celebrating and honoring, we make podcast playlists. We made one for Women’s History Month (even though every month should be WHM), and Black History Month (even though every month should be BHM), one for Passover…(let’s keep Passover the way it is, we love our bread 🥖), so did you really think we’d say goodbye to June without some beautiful, fantastic, hilarious, raunchy, educational, and informative pods to celebrate the magical time that is PRIDE?! ✨
No we would not.
So here you go:
12 exquisite podcasts on topics pertaining to the LGBTQ+ community, made my members of the LGBTQ+ community.
