History in the making! This is the UK's first regular mainstream show for bisexuals. Hosted by bi activist and writer Lewis Oakley and bisexual journalists Nichi Hodgson and Ashley Byrne, Bisexual Brunch is a unique podcast for people from all over the world who identify as bi to come together and celebrate their sexuality.  Bisexual Brunch along with Nichi, Ashley and Lewis were included in the UK Pride Power List  2021. Lewis managed to stay in the list in 2022 and soared to No 79 while MIM, the production company behind Bisexual Brunch was also named UK Production Company of the Year 2021 (Silver winner). Most recently it was revealed Bisexual Brunch's listening figures are in the top 10% of podcasts worldwide - and the show reaches 108 countries, more than half the world!

In this episode Lewis and Ashley are joined once again by comedian, actor and writer Samantha Baines who tells us what it's like maintaining her bi identity while being heavily pregnant. US screenwriter Kye Kallman tells Bisexual Brunch how he found out he was bisexual when he attended an orgy with his girlfriend in California. The trio discuss stereotypes around being considered 'queer', unrequited love and the fors and against of when to dive into an open relationship. The Bi Icon series looks back at the life and loves of Seigfried Sassoon (the British First World War poet) and 'Ask A Bisexual' hears about straight women using Grindr to date bi men. There's also a bi journey story from Jeremy near Bristol.
