Lipp Media, a podcast network by women and the LGBT+ community, launches
A new podcast network, Lipp Media, has been launched With the aim of providing popular, well-produced and profitable podcasts produced by women and members of the LGBT+ community.
Founder of Lipp Media, Dan Gregg is a music video producer, community radio presenter and podcast creator, having run the Popchops podcast for the past four years.
“I got sick of hearing straight, white men on podcasts in Australia and needed to have a hand in diversifying the landscape,” said Gregg.
“Audiences need to hear their own diverse voices reflected back at them, and while those diverse voices were once, and still are, marginalised, we need to push harder for them to enter our mainstream conversations. There’s no limit to how many stories we can tell, and you know we’re doubly funny when telling them.”
The network has launched with three original shows, The Gays Are Revolting, a dedicated weekly news source for contemporary gays, Cher and Retweet, a comedic journey down the rabbit hole that is Cher’s Twitter feed, and Word of The Gay, a weekly dissection of common words in the queer vernacular.
The network also represents two Gregg’s, Popchops podcast and It’s Time To Go: A Big Brother Australia Podcast. The company also has a further two shows in development to be launched in August: Uneasy Bedfellows, which features a high end sex worker discussing sex and philosophyand Keep Up with Kish and Brodie that will cover celebrity gossip.
“The LGBT+ community don’t just have depressing stories of woe to share; they’re hugely witty, creative and entertaining, and Lipp Media ensures its hosts are taking the lead on those conversations,” concluded Gregg.
