Are you seen as just a tad over dramatic and a diva? Do you make mountains out of molehills on a daily basis? Then join your fabulous friends at The Big Gay Ordeal to hear about the trials and tribulations of being gay and the champagne problems that come with it. From pop culture and celebrity hearsay to the daily grind of our fabulous lives, we will give you our verdict: Ordeal or no ordeal. Our aim is to poke fun at the idea that most gay people are wildly over dramatic but in reality we may not be doing much to break down the stereotype. Our advice to each other is awful and we set less than perfect examples, so we will, in fact, be terrible rolemodels to all who listen, you have been warned! Created by Sean Dillon, James McCrudden and Caolán Kelly in Dublin, The Big Gay Ordeal is a weekly podcast, with new episodes on mondays. Taking stories from the news, celebrity lives and pop culture each week and relating them to the issues, both big and small, facing the LGBTQ+ community, they'll talk about their own experiences and poke fun at each other while adjudicating on listener's ordeals. One minor inconvenience for mankind, one massive ordeal for us three homosexuals! Find us where you get all good podcasts.
