The Geeks OUT Podcast: Code 8 Minutes

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 J.W. Crump, as they discuss how broadcast TV is changing due to the pandemic, the new-to-Netflix Code 8, initial thoughts on Quibi, and celebrate the first look at Rupaul’s Secret Celebrity Drag Race in This Week in Queer.
