Podcast Hosts & Listeners - Crossdressing & Trans Experience

Why I spent a weekend building a podcast directory nobody asked for If you've ever tried searching for podcasts that talk seriously about crossdressing, gender exploration, or trans experience, you'll have noticed the same thing I did: most directories file everything under "LGBTQ+" and consider the job done. The actual texture - the memoirs, the therapy-informed shows, the relationship podcasts, the community gossip - gets flattened into a single tag. So I built the directory I wished existed. A few things I learned in the process: → Curation is harder than listing. I set criteria up front: at least three episodes published, the subject as a primary focus rather than occasional curiosity, available on major platforms, and made by people with lived experience or in close dialogue with those who do. That ruled out a lot of well-meaning one-offs. → Honest descriptions beat marketing copy. Every show gets described as it actually is - therapeutic, conversational, diary-style, relationship-focused — so readers can match a show to their mood rather than guessing from a logo. → The "adjacent" section matters. Some shows aren't squarely in the niche but listeners of the core list keep ending up there. Naming that pattern openly is more useful than pretending the boundaries are clean. The shows on the list range from established voices like My Girl Life and The CrossYAAS Podcast, to newer arrivals like Soul Kink Therapy (which takes an Internal Family Systems approach to gender questions), to relationship-focused work like The Fox and the Phoenix, told from inside a marriage navigating transition. If you host or listen to a show that should be on the list, I'd genuinely like to hear from you. The point isn't for the directory to reflect my taste — it's for it to be useful. Full guide:
