In this episode of The Lipsticks Podcast, with a wine in hand, we talk about things which we saw differently or which struck a different chord with us after we came out as queer.

We chat about the recent news story that the chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, also known as MI6, has publicly apologised for its historic treatment of LGBT people. We also add a new word to our Gay Glossary…but not before we’ve butchered it with our singing!

This weeks Spotlight feature gives a special shout out to James Marriott, a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community who works as a podcast strategist and radio presenter! James recently delivered a talk at Sheffield DM, all about how audio strategy should be part of your marketing plans.

Spoiler alert! This podcast may contact traces of giggling, northern accents, sarcasm and gay references.
