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 journalist Ashley Byrne with comedian and actor Samantha Baines, 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 former host Nichi Hodgson, 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 3% of podcasts worldwide - and the show reaches 108 countries, more than half the world! Number One in Kenya.

The latest guest on Bisexual Brunch thinks bisexual people need to embrace the crisis we all face in our lives. Ashley asks Daniel Newton, a PHD student from Bristol what they mean by 'bisexual crisis'. Meanwhile we hear how Lewis has been defending the pansexual comedian Joe Lycett after the tabloid press couldn't cope with the controversial celebrity having a baby. Sam's back and debates Carla's lesbian affair storyline in UK drama serial Coronation Street with Ashley. Should the show be making more of Carla's coming to terms with being bisexual in her 50s? Lewis, Ashley and Sam debate calls for sex strikes in the States after Donald Trump's re-election while bi actor Tom Ward-Thomas and Ashley deliver their verdicts on Heartstopper 3. Ask a Bisexual is all about how much bi men should reveal about their sexuality when trying to hook up over predominately gay male dating app Grindr. A jam packed show...
