Hi hi, as that wizard show now is getting an audio book series, just a reminder that there are so many people in the queer space making audio drama for free that’s amazing so please go support those, instead of the terrible wizard woman who’s literally funding to make trans people’s lives worse.
Welp, there goes my notifications. Thanks for sharing all - it’s very important now more than ever to support storytelling that isn’t the terrible wizard woman and raises and supports queer and trans voices. I can see lots of reccs in the tags and that’s amazing!!
If you want to support new audio drama, I highly recommend checking out the below links:
Firstly there’s The End is the comprehensive directory for completed audio fiction shows.
In both places you can search tags for what you’re looking for!
Otherwise, there are lots of discords (Like The Podcast Book Club@podcast-bookclub you can join to find fans of audio drama who will recommend their favourites and do listening parties together) and there’s also r/audiodrama reddit which is also having creators sharing new work and you can see people asking for reccomendations!
I will also add you can also find out about my own podcast, The Holmwood Foundation here: @theholmwoodfoundation which has a trans femme lead and a variety of queer and trans voices throughout the season.
So a lot of the notes on this post are recommending The Magnus Archives, which (while a very much enjoyable show!) as far as I can remember doesn’t actually feature a canon trans main character for the first 200 episodes until its sequel, The Magnus Protocol.
So, while I’m not trying to dissuade anyone from listening to TMA, I also want to add some alternatives for more explicitly trans-led shows:
Thankfully I have a convenient playlist compiled from my book, which name drops a bunch of (exclusively trans-led) audio dramas. The pilot episodes of each show can be found here:
I’m also strongly seconding Fio’s suggestions, ESPECIALLY The Holmwood Foundation, which is only missing from this list because it didn’t exist when the book was written 😅
A lot of creators have compiled trans- or identity-specific playlists on Podchaser, so have a search around and find lists by creators you admire and trust!
I’d also take a look at @boombox-fuckboy’s page, who has already offered SO many tailored recommendations
And there are many MANY more out there so please feel free to add recs of your own!!
“Tiffany “New York” Pollard — the queen of reality TV, the HBIC herself — is opening up like never before. In a new interview with "PinkNews,” she shared why she resonates with being non-binary, saying, “Some days I may feel a lot more masculine, and some days I’m super feminine — and that’s okay… shoving me back in the closet is never going to be an option.” Tiffany went on to say, “If I didn’t have such a strong connection to the queer fanbase that I have, I don’t know if I would still be in the game… They keep the HBIC alive!”"
The Monarch of Meme was already queer, and we’re happy to see her discovery. Black queer folk CONTINUE TO WIN 👑

If you don’t recognize the name…you might recognize some other appearances:
and is your shame helpful? is it inspiring goodness and change? or is it keeping you frozen in time unable to move on and be everything you have expanded to be?
