PODCAST

Deep Space Gay

In this weekly podcast your two hosts, Alex and Paula, discuss their favourite fandoms from a new perspective. Listen to them discuss their favourite episodes and characters, talk about the relevance of diverse fandoms and the history of geeks, and sometimes loose it over the weirdness of the universe (and their own tired brains)! Our current main fandoms are Star Trek and the MCU, but honestly, we go wherever inspiration and hyper-fixation guide us.
