    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.

    A bumper edition for Bi Month - Ashley and Lewis are joined by the founders of the very first Bi-visibility Day back in 1999. Find out how it wasn't called that back then from Wendy Curry and Ladyboy Gigi Wilbur. The bisexual special guest is co-leader of the Scottish Greens Patrick Harvie. Meanwhile as Scotland emerges as the bi nation of the UK (at least in population terms) we stay in Scotland for our main bi journey story from Nick Cook in Dundee. Lewis and Ashley discuss ideological zealotry around LGBT issues, there's an Ask a Bisexual question from a woman whose husband recently came out to her and Ashley and Lewis discuss whether there's such a thing as bi-dar or bi fi.

    Bisexual Brunch is produced by Ashley Byrne and researched by Andrew Edwards and the team at MIM.

    The show is recorded in Manchester and London in Great Britain.
