GayFL is a radio show and podcast hosted by Brendan and Chris that showcases the game we love from a uniquely queer perspective.

There will be interviews, match highlights, season and ladder discussion, news and current events and more, all mixed in with a pro-inclusion message for the whole LGBTQIA+ community. If you feel like mainstream footy commentary doesn’t include you, then this is the show for you.
