Queery


Queery is an American podcast created and hosted by comedian Cameron Esposito. As the name suggests, the podcast is centered around queerness—the facets of the LGBT experience—and self-identifying queer guests. Guests range from widely known public figures such as Olympic figure-skater Adam Rippon and musician sisters Tegan & Sara to more niche-group individuals such as Irish singer-songwriter SOAK, animator and Steven Universe creator Rebecca Sugar, and comedian-writer Travon Free.

Background

Esposito's stated intention with starting Queery surrounded the identity politics that shape the LGBTQ+ landscape. In a Billboard interview about the podcast and her other ventures, Esposito said the show is about "reinvesting in the queer community in a way that I don't think I let myself before." In her show's preface, Esposito states that the show is "about individual experience and personal identity." She echoes the thesis in an Amy Poehler's Smart Girls .
