Gay in Rural France - Queer Countryside Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Gay in Rural France is a queer countryside podcast about living, creating, and surviving far away from the city.

Set in the Charente Limousine, one of the most rural regions of south-west France, the podcast explores life from the perspective of a gay artist navigating rural isolation, community, creativity, and belonging, while renovating half a château on a limited budget.

Some episodes focus on queerness, the body, visibility, and mental health. Others are quieter reflections on daily life, relationships, renovation fatigue, artistic work, and what it means to build a life outside dominant urban narratives.

This is a personal journal as much as it is a social reflection — slow, honest, and grounded in place.

New episodes are released monthly.
