Periodically, the crew at I'm Feeling Queer Today! will share episodes from like-minded podcasts that they love. IFQT! producer and host, Claire Florence, presents today’s feed swap with The Bi Pod: a podcast on all things bisexual, hosted by Evan Chelsee (they/them) and Christina Brown (she/her). In this episode of The Bipod, “Am I Queer Enough?,” you’ll hear from non-binary artist and writer, Flo Godineau (they/them).

🎧 ABOUT THE EPISODE:

"Am I Queer Enough" [originally aired Feb 8, 2024]

If you’re looking for the Queer DMV office so you can apply for your queer card and pay your membership dues, you’ve come to the right place!

Just kidding, it’s free to be gay! On this week’s episode, we chat with Flo Godineau about what it means to be bisexual enough and nonbinary enough. We also talk about backcountry skiing (as a metaphor about dating), and how Smallville fanfiction can make you queer.
