Beers with Queers A True Crime Podcast23 Jan 2023

7.) Stephen Port aka "The Grindr Killer"

Four young men. Four drugged bodies. And a killer who used hookup apps as his hunting ground.

Stephen Port lured his victims through dating apps like Grindr, posing as a charming, lonely man seeking connection. But behind the screen was a predator with a deadly routine—drug, assault, dispose. Despite mounting evidence, authorities ignored key signs for months, dismissing the deaths as accidental overdoses.

This episode digs into how police negligence and homophobia allowed Port to operate in plain sight, and why it took relentless community pressure to expose one of the UK’s most chilling serial killers.

Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers uncovers the real cost of being unseen in a world that still overlooks queer victims.

Grab a drink. Press play. And hear the horrifying story of The Grindr Killer.
