These 7 Podcasts by QPOC Are Entertaining (and Empowering) AF
  
Gossip, entertainment, and activism are the life’s blood of the queer POC community. So, what happens when you put those three together and stream them out to the masses? Podcasts. Yes, we said podcasts. Podcasts let QPOC creators talk, laugh, and cheer ad nauseum about all things important to them—whether it’s celebrity gossip, accurate media representation, or even just thriving in a world that doesn’t always welcome them.
There are so many different podcasts out there and we wanted to take a moment to center queer podcasts led by creative people of color. So here are seven of them!
