S2 Ep1: We're Back! Welcome to S2 of Qmmunity
We're back! Did you miss us? THANK YOU to everyone who dropped us messages on the socials (@qmmunitypod) asking when series 2 of Qmmunity was coming - it's finally here! We were in the process of polishing up all of our great interviews, and then...COVID-19 hit. So we pivoted, and here we are bringing you a socially-distanced version of Qmmunity for you to get involved with during isolation.
Join us this week as we catch up on life in lockdown, introduce our new "Swap It Like It's Hot" feature - a media club for you to join in with, and hear a wonderfully honest, raw and moving interview with intersex campaigner Anick. Please note, Anick's interview is very personal, at times challenging and contains details of medical procedures and suicide, though comes with an uplifting message. If you are affected by any of the issues discussed in this episode, you can call or instant message with the LGBT Switchboard on 0300 330 0630 (UK), or text START to 85258 for mental health support from mental health charity Shout.

Anick's documentary 'The Intersex Diaries" (produced with Radio1) is available here
Char's recommendation in Swap It Like It's Hot is Sugar Rush, available on 4OnDemand, while Alexis' recommendation is queer cult classic, Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

Out Of The Closet And Onto The Pitch

S1 Ep13: Qmmunity Christmas Special
Happy Holidays! Join us for a Christmas Special, as we sit down with some mulled wine and introduce you to some new voices from the Qmmunity team - along the way, we discuss realisations, demisexuality, coming of age, virgo season and...being vanilla at sex parties.
As fun as it can be, the Christmas season can also be tiring & alienating, so if you need to speak to someone, you can call the LGBT+ switchboard on 0300 330 0630, to text SHOUT to 85258 to text chat with Shout! mental health charity.
How ever you're spending the time, we wish you a Merry Christmas, and stay tuned for Season Two dropping in the start of the new year.
Lots of Love,
Qmmunity x
Char, Effie, Kevin, Lex, Seb.
