Lez Hang Out | A Lesbian Podcast

This one's for you, Poptarts! Leigh and Ellie talk to the writers and stars of Canadian web series Barbelle, Karen Knox and Gwenlyn Cumyn about creating queer content, their favorite moments of season 1 and what's in store for the second season. Barbelle is the story of two lesbian pop stars, Alice and Veronica, who were in love and in a band together, but they break up and still have to give their record label an album and a tour. It's the classic tale of lesbian exes working together with some pretty awesome music on the side. You can watch the first season on KindaTV here!

Leigh and Ellie dive into Carol for this Lez-ssentials episode, a recurring segment on the essential movies and TV shows in the lesbian canon. They're here, they're queer and full of Christmas cheer!
