In this episode of Canqueer, the hosts Luke and Sebastian discuss their long and storied careers in radio, from the inception of their show as "three gays on the radio" to its evolution into a topical podcast that aimed to be a voice for the LGBTQ+ community. They reflect on the challenges of holding their own institutions accountable while also celebrating progress, and explain their decision to end the show after over a decade, citing the unsustainable emotional labor involved. The hosts also share some of their most memorable guests and controversial stories covered over the years.
