Lez Hang Out | A Lesbian Podcast

Ellie Brigida and Leigh Holmes Foster describe themselves as "the lesbians you'd want at your potluck," and after nearly 400 episodes, it's clear the potluck has been going strong since 2017. Lez Hang Out covers lesbian experiences, queer culture, media representation, and community life with the kind of warmth that makes new listeners feel immediately welcome. The show regularly features guests from across the queer community -- recent episodes have included four-time JUNO-nominated Indigenous artist Shawnee Kish and various activists, creators, and everyday community members. Episodes typically run over an hour and drop weekly, giving the hosts plenty of room to go deep on topics rather than just skimming the surface. The range extends from TV recaps and pop culture analysis to personal stories and advocacy issues, so there's usually something in each episode that resonates. With 473 reviews and a 4.7-star rating on Apple Podcasts, the show has maintained a dedicated listenership for nearly a decade. There's also a Patreon community for bonus content. What keeps people coming back is the hosts' sincerity -- Ellie and Leigh aren't performing allyship or manufacturing outrage for clicks. They're two queer women talking about their lives and their community with genuine care. The show's longevity speaks for itself; in a medium where most podcasts don't survive their first year, Lez Hang Out keeps growing.
