That's so Sapphic Podcast
“That’s So Sapphic” is a LGBTQ+ Comedy Podcast hosted by Social Media Sapphics Alexi Melvin (@TheAlexiMelvin) and Jane Postlethwaite (@JanedoesComedy), diving deep into the glorious world of sapphic culture. Growing up with little sapphic representation, we look back at the clues that were always there — from film and pop culture to deeply questionable teenage obsessions. In each episode, we get to know each other while unpacking a different theme and asking: what really makes something sapphic?
