EDUGAYTION

Welcome back to EDUGAYTION - the queer culture podcast you didn’t need but have anyway !! We’re finally reunited after Jake’s hellish return from Yeovil, and good news, the pink-eye saga has cleared up! Kaz is still straight, and Owen was the only gay shaking his stuff to Zara Larsson in London!! 🪩🧚‍♀️✨Which brings us to this week’s main event: ZARA. MF. LARSSON. Let us just give a taste of the many reasons she is criminally underrated as a pop sensation:- Vocals for days, suspended mid-air within 30 seconds, deep lunges in heels while still on-note.- ⁠Backing vocalists doing full choreo with handheld mics (athlete energy)- ⁠The camp of a “Midnight Sun” tour in mid-winter, Euro-summer vibes and a PSA to the crowd: put your phones down and shake it !!- ⁠Is Zara sponsored by EasyJet?!?!? Ryanair is quaking. - ⁠Audience participation featuring a Zara fan being wheeled out on a prop chair wearing a Go Pro on her head - cinematic genius. 💅 NSFW? A smidge.📲 Tell us where you’re listening from and your fave gay pop bangers straight men secretly love: @edugaytionpodcast
