One of my absolute favorites. Drew and Glen are a great team- funny and informative.

I absolutely LOVE this podcast. Learning more about shows I loved as a kid and occasionally getting sucked into nostalgia trips = a damn good time!
Description
Back in the day, a major sitcom doing a gay episode was a big deal. A proper gay episode would get headlines, but it would get the attention of two young guys who were still figuring things out — sexuality-wise and culture-wise. Gayest Episode Ever has screenwriter Glen Lakin and stay-at-home journalist Drew Mackie going through the great and not-so-great gay episodes of sitcoms past.
