SAVE THE DATE - 25-27th September for Bear Brum 2026!
Bear Pod is the official podcast for the UK’s newest and hottest bear weekend. Organisers Yogi and Matt are here every two weeks with news on Birmingham’s ever changing gay scene, giving us the goods on how a bear event comes to life, and just generally talking nonsense, with guest appearances from all corners of the Birmingham LGBT+ community!
Eighteen episodes. There are entire TV shows that don't last this long. Anyway, here's one final update before the big day/days!
If you want more Bear Pod, email bearbrumteam@gmail.com and beg like a good boy.
