Homo Sapiens

This week, we are joined by the hilariously funny actor and comedian, Hannah Gadsby. Hannah's new Netflix special Gender Agenda was released earlier this month. Gender Agenda showcases some of the best gender queer comedy from around the world and features topics such as top surgery, misgendering and the effects of testosterone. Hannah sat down to tell us all about how they curated the line up and why stage time isn't always safe time for gender queer comedians. Plus, they tell us why they caused a stir on Instagram. 📍Homo Sapiens is going on a break from now until the autumn, but please keep in touch! 📍Homo Sapiens Spotify Playlist [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1BdBfTC9sKZTTH7xdHFCdZ] 📍H O M O S A P I E N S P O D C A S T 📍NEW EPISODE Every Thursday 📍Come play with us on socials Facebook & Instagram @Homosapiens 📍Email us: Hello@homosapienspodcast.com 📍Podcast Host: Acast ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
