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!

As more detail slowly emerges about the latest census figures, Ashley, Nichi and Lewis discuss what the UK needs to do now to support bi people in different parts of England and Wales. Why are so many men shy to be bi? A mum from Hove reveals how watching Heartstopper and listening to Bi Brunch gave her the courage to finally admit properly to herself that she's bisexual. Ashley meets an Iranian asylum seeker turned British citizen who was jailed in Tehran but eventually found bi love in Britain. And this time's Ask a Bisexual question is all about taboos over age gap love.

Bisexual Brunch is produced in Manchester and London.
