It feels like every time I find a podcast about security/networking/technology the hosts end up saying some pretty off-color stuff, or I look them up and they also host right wing podcasts. Are there any that are more leftist, hosted by LGBT peeps, or at least not actively bigoted ?

Weird how people like you can't hear an opinion if the person speaking isn't gay.

It's tiring hearing people discuss how myself and people like me shouldn't have rights, so I try to avoid it.

The fact that it's much easier to avoid bigotry by sticking to queer-created content says more about cishet people than it does about LGBTQ+ folks.

Yes, but listening to tech podcasts should include talks about tech only. I won't listen to it if it turns into non-tech related political talk even for oneliners here and there.

The old joke was "I hate when I go to Vuvuzela concert, but people starts to play soccer". It applies into tech as well, at least for me personally.

I don't oppose/resist peoples freedom for their self-expression on any level, but I want to enjoy tech purely free from politics simply because living avoiding politics is hard enough already. I still support Pride-people to express themselves as they want.

I'm specifically interested in the overlooked history and perspectives of women, LGBT folks, POC and disabled people in tech though. Ofc not all tech podcasts should be political, I'm just interested in those things and am having trouble finding related media. I've stumbled on more right-leaning stuff while browsing Spotify though. I just don't wanna get jump scared by homophobia.
