Hi Gay.

And a happy Pride Month to you. If you're not across this very special event that sees the whole world painted rainbow, then firstly, where tf have you been hiding. And secondly, this is probably not the podcast for you. In honour of the gayest month of the year, Age & Mitch thought this week they'd take a moment to unpack exactly what in fact is this thing we call Pride?

The boys throw back to the Stonewall Riots, where the whole modern gay rights movement began and we started celebrating just how glam chic hot gorge we all are, tracking through to the modern day pride festivals where we continue this tradition. Conversation turns to the way corporations are getting involved in the fun, and the situation known as "rainbow washing" where some of them basically gaslight us to sell rainbow shit.

Our hosts discuss what pride means for each of them, why we need it today just as much as ever before, and how to engage with it this June. All in all, the boys doing what they do best which is talk about gay shit. Slay.
