About the show
Celebrating lesbians, one episode at a time.
Lesbian Side Quest started as two wives discussing the lack of lesbian representation in media and turned into weekly conversations about lesbian history, the movies that shaped us and interviewing lesbian creatives making waves!
Our mission
Keeping lesbian stories on the record.
So much of queer history lives in word-of-mouth, out-of-print zines and bars that no longer exist. We believe those stories deserve to be recorded, celebrated and passed on.
Each episode pairs deep-dive cultural history with intimate, in-depth conversations — giving lesbian artists in our communities the long-form spotlight they rarely get.
Your hosts
Meet the duo.
