The Geeks OUT Podcast: Netflix and Fever Chills

The Geeks OUT Podcast

Opinions, reviews, incisive discussions of queer geek ideas in pop culture, and the particularly cutting brand of shade that you can only get from a couple of queer geeks all in highly digestible weekly doses.

In this week’s episode of the Geeks OUT Podcast, Kevin is joined by Eric Green as they discuss the canceling/postponing of SXSW & ECCC as fears mount over the corona virus, the controversy that struck Rupaul’s Drag Race, and celebrate Dreamer getting the spotlight on Supergirl in This Week in Queer.
