In this week's episode I am joined by two of my closest friends, Adam Itrakjy and Em Shanahan. We speak all about how gay tribes are integral to the LGBTQ+ community, how trans individuals fit inside of such tribes as well as how racism plays a part in forming friendships and relationships within the community.

On this original podcast I, Myles Shillingford will be keeping it glam with a variety of co-hosts exploring the issues and topics that affect queer individuals the most. Whether that be from why Little Mix is the best girl group of all time or going in to depth about the more serious topics such as body confidence, inequality in the community and how dating apps have affected the way we communicate with each other.
