Listening to the news can be hard. But Anna is warm, honest, and supportive. Such a great show!

I’ve been listening for a bit now and this is a great show! It’s also keeping me up to date on the newest queer news. Also with the newest episode (as of June 11th 2025) has given me strength to come out to my parents. Thank you and love the podcast!

Great curation of important news affecting the LGBTQ community and Anna is an absolute joy to hang with. I’m not part of that community but I listen to stay informed and just be a better ally. Thank you for your service!

Great curation of news impacting the LGBTQIA community. Anna is friendly, warm, and so enjoyable to listen to.

Thank you for speaking truth to the LGBTQ experience! #HappyPride

Anna is incredible. So smart and funny and insightful. I’ve learned so much from this show and am so grateful that it’s available in the world!

Warm, welcomimg, and news is informative…makes one think about getting involved, explore some ways to be there for younger, just coming out queer…I love the quiet jazzy music in the background as well. I was traditionally married 11 years before I figured it out and I’m 30+ years with my wife (legally married 11 years) and she is amazing, makes me a better human, and is always there for our children and grandchildren…she’s our rock. We’ll start listening to your show together! Strong work💪

Family! Thank you for turning the music down ❤️

I love Anna DeShawn’s voice, and the content of this show is what the queer community needs. This podcast is essential listening!

While I enjoy the actual content, there are WAY too many commercials to make it worth a listen. Of the 15 minutes of total podcast time, 8 minutes were commercials, either actual commercials or “sign up to support us” commercials.

I truly e this podcast. We need more podcasts like this. Thank you for what you are doing!

I really love this show! I look forward to it week. You gotta give it a try 😉

The voice! The news! The backing tracks! The perspective is on point. Too much? With an agenda? You bet! That’s why I’m here to stay.

Thank you on so many levels for this INCREDIBLE podcast! Great information needed for our community. #prideallyear #lgbtqia+

I stumbled upon this podcast about a few weeks ago, and I love it! Definitely recommend to stay up to date on the most important queer news going on currently.

Y’all are just great. I have been listening now for a few months and I just got to say, just keep doing what your doin. So I just want to say thank you

Trying to push their agenda

Y’all gotta get in on this podcast!! Gave up on a bunch of news shows cuz they were just depressing and (whether they meant to or not) minimizing on queer issues. It’s all not brunch, medical care, and story time bans. It’s vital folks know about that, but also it’s essential to put out the wins and celebrate the people and culture. Acknowledging all of a person, the pain of prejudice AND the amazing creations and stories of our folx. That’s what’s up. That’s what’s here. Family <3

Hey Anna, I heard you speak of the Affinity Burning Bowl ceremony in Chicago this past weekend, and discovered that you are a podcast host! As an avid podcast listener for the past 10 years, I am excited to listen to your podcast being a new member of the community.

Love it and the mission!

It is concise, clear and to the point. Quick tea on all the happenings in the LGBTQ+ community.

I appreciate all of the updates and news! Clear, to the point. A mix of informational, inspirational and joy!

Love the quality and brevity. Been following her for years & this is consistent with her commitment to covering and reporting our community and the range of identities that exist in it.

Way to be consistent committed and courageous.

I look forward to hearing this pod daily! Thank you!

What a great daily podcast.

I found her on the clock app, abs have been looking forward to the daily drops ever since!

Absolutely love tuning in on the daily to stay up on my queer news and always feeling inspired by Anna’s vibe and the word of the day! Thank you, Anna, for creating this pod and bringing the energy every day!

A bright spot in my day. Seriously. Love the content and Anna’s voice😉. Keep up the good work!

It’s beyond amazing that I ran into this podcast/creator! From the intro song to the shows therapeutic flare - we love to see queer content by a black queer innovator! Fell in love from one episode after another. Love being apart of the #family! 🌈🗣✊🏽You should definitely support!

Love this show
