Queery with Cameron Esposito

Standup comedian Cameron Esposito spent seven years sitting down with some of the most interesting LGBTQ+ people alive and asking them one simple question: what's your story? Queery ran for 330 episodes from 2017 to 2024 on the Maximum Fun network, and the archive it left behind is a remarkable oral history of queer identity told through one-on-one conversations. The guest list reads like a who's who of queer culture. Writers, actors, musicians, activists, politicians, and everyday people all got the same treatment: an hour of Cameron's full attention, thoughtful questions, and the space to talk honestly about identity, personality, and the shifting cultural ground around gender and sexuality. Cameron's background as a comedian means the conversations are warm and often very funny, but she never lets humor deflect from the emotional core of someone's story. With 3,245 ratings and a 4.8-star average on Apple Podcasts, the show clearly resonated. The final episode dropped in February 2024, making this a completed series -- which is actually a selling point. You can start from the beginning and work your way through without worrying about keeping up. The breadth of experiences represented across 330 episodes is staggering, and many of these conversations capture moments in queer history that might otherwise go unrecorded. It's an interview show at its best, and its legacy is well-earned.
