Aural Fixation is a queer music podcast that explores LGBTQI+ themes in music and pop culture. Released fortnightly on Thursdays, each instalment follows besties Drew and Andy as they discuss an album that is loved by queer people, made by queer artists, or speaks to queer experiences. British expats living and recording in Sydney, Drew and Andy bring a uniquely cross-genre and cross-hemispheric viewpoint to being gay and loving music, shared perhaps only by the Minogue sisters. Aural Fixation is recorded and produced by @with.all.drew.respect and @andrewdoyouthinkyouare.
