Nancy Podcast

Podcasts & Audio and Zines & Blogs



Nancy is a podcast from WNYC Studios that tells personal stories at the intersection of LGBTQ+ identity and everyday life. Created by Kathy Tu and Tobin Low, who are both queer, the show explores what it means to be queer in the world through deeply reported narratives, cultural commentary, and interviews that center real people’s lived experiences.

Episodes range from funny to heartbreaking to surprising, covering topics like queer Asian identity, coming out at work, chosen family, grief, sex, politics, and the sometimes absurd moments that define queer life. The production quality is high, and the storytelling is specific in a way that makes the show feel both very personal and broadly resonant.

Nancy ran for several seasons and its full archive remains freely available, making it one of the richest bodies of queer audio storytelling available. For LGBTQ+ people who love narrative journalism and want stories that feel true to their own lives in all their specificity, Nancy is essential listening.
