The Geeks OUT Podcast: Baby Yoda is Mask4Mask

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 Keisha Zollar, from Netflix’s #AstronomyClub, as they discuss Disney making their own face masks, take a trip in the teaser for Lovecraft Country, and celebrate the announcement of season 2 of Kipo and the Age of the Wonderbeasts as our Strong Female Character of the Week.
