Episode 19- Season 2 – Double Deans

Performing Arts, Society & Culture

Double the Deans, Double the Drama!
If you’re interested in LGBTQIA+ media, queer representation, drag culture, and Australian LGBTQ+ voices, this episode is for you.

This episode, we’re joined by not one but two dazzling Deans.

First up, Dean Arcuri — once the “busy homosexual,” now the “business homosexual” — talks about his new role at the helm of Q News and what it means to take queer media into the future. Oh, and did we mention he just won the Outstanding Contribution to Media at the 11th Victorian Pride Awards?

Then we meet Dean Addams — also known as the fabulous Linh Uendo — who brings us glitz, glamour, and grace as the reigning Mx. Congeniality 2025 from MEDEA. We also get into Disability Pride Month — what it means, why it matters, and how it shows up in queer spaces.

Two icons. One mic. And plenty of camp, courage, and conversation.
