Queery

Queery is an American podcast created and hosted by comedian Cameron Esposito.[1] As the name suggests, the podcast is centered around queerness—the facets of the LGBT experience—and self-identifying queer guests.[2] Guests range from widely known public figures such as Olympic figure-skater Adam Rippon and musician sisters Tegan & Sara to more niche-group individuals such as Irish singer-songwriter SOAK, animator and Steven Universe creator Rebecca Sugar, and comedian-writer Travon Free.

Background

Esposito's stated intention with starting Queery surrounded the identity politics that shape the LGBTQ+ landscape.[3] In a Billboard interview about the podcast and her other ventures, Esposito said the show is about "reinvesting in the queer community in a way that I don't think I let myself before."[4] In her show's preface, Esposito states that the show is "about individual experience and personal identity."[5] She echoes the thesis in an Amy Poehler's Smart Girls interview.

Awards and nominations

• In September 2018, Queery was named as one of Medium's "Podcasts We Love."[5]
• In late 2019, Queery was placed on the eligibility list for nomination as a Podcast Awards 2020 winner.[6]
• In November 2019, Queery was categorized as one of the "best LGBT podcasts" by Player.fm.[7]
