In this first episode, our hosts Léa and Casey will walk you through what led four Paris-based lesbians to think that yet another queer podcast would be absolutely necessary for this world.

After giving you a bit of background about each member on the team, our hosts get more personal as they tackle what is often one of the most stressful experiences in the life of a queer person: coming out.

Léa is the first host to share her experience of what it was like to come out to her family in Reading, UK, while Casey talks about her own journey of queer-discovery and the difficulties she faced while still living in Sydney, Australia.

After discussing the importance of sharing these experiences, and before saying ‘à bientôt’ (that’s French for ‘stay tuned for our next episode’), our hosts end on a lighter note as Lea delivers a pick-up line that is guaranteed to make any lesbian out there fall for you in seconds.
