LezCast: Queer & Lesbian Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Host Amanda Costner and guest host Nicole Reacts Up break down the season three FINALE (possibly the series finale)! Because this is potentially the last Generation Q episode EVER, the hosts have a lot to discuss. How was the ending to Bette and Tina's story? Were the fans' expectations for the wedding met? Amanda finds the finale entertaining, but acknowledges Bette and Tina could have gotten more of a sendoff. While Nicole is just glad she got to see them marry each other. Both hosts discuss whether they're team Dani/Roxy or team Dany/Dre. Also, how were the wedding outfits? Some outfits get a lot of praise from host Nicole, while other outfits (ahem Bette and Tina...) get the side eye.

Amazon Prime's A League of Their Own comes to a season 1 end in this dramatic finale. For the final recap of season one host Amanda Costner is joined by YouTuber Agus, who's channel LeLop has covered the show extensively. She is also joined by guest host Amy Nico Schwartz, a Chicago producer, comedian, actor and writer. The three discuss each beat of the finale, answering difficult questions and laughing a lot along the way.

Agus, who started watching the show before watching the movie A League of their Own, offers a unique perspective on the series. Amy brings her background in stand-up and improv to the podcast as well.

Everyone agrees Clance and Max have a lot of fun this episode. Amanda hopes we see more Clance and Shirl in the future. Amy and Agus love that Carson has the team writing their names on the lockerroom wall--Amanda jokes about how small the list is. Both Amy and Agus love the decisions the writers made towards the end of the finale, particularly concerning Jo. Although Amanda has some hesitations about those same decisions. At the end of the podcast all three hosts give their opinions on the season as a whole, as well as what they'd like to see in season 2.

Amazon Prime's A League of Their Own continues to do well ratings-wise. In this podcast host Amanda Costner is joined by the First Lady of LezCast--Ro (Amanda's wife). The two of them discuss the beats of episode seven, comparing various plotlines to their relationship, like how fun it can be to competitively flirt with someone the way Max flirts with Esther.

Both agree episode 7 is a nice, light-hearted relief from the emotional turmoil that takes place in episode 6. Amanda doesn't understand why Lupe having lost her child would make her be so harsh on Esti, while Roshni explains that Lupe was probably projecting, and having a hard time coming to terms with her past.

Ro and Amanda can't give Jess enough flowers--they love her, they love her as a hot lesbian mechanic, and they love how she orchestrates the talk between Lupe and Esti on the side of the road. The two hosts have a discussion around Charlie and his relationship with Carson--they agree that it was good for the show to not make him a villain, that would be less interesting and less realistic. They also do some fangirling over the Max/Esther relationship. Of course there is talk of Jo/Greta and much more to do with A League of Their Own!

VOTE FOR KJ (Keenan Thompson's Ultimate Comedy Experience): https://bit.ly/3TBu05o

LezCast is back recapping episode six of the first season of A League of Their Own! This episode is particularly filled with a lot of emotional turmoil. Both KJ and Amanda discuss how hard and intense it was watching the episode. And with the way things are going in our country, KJ is reminded by the episode that no matter where you fit in, in the LGBTQ+ acronym, you would have been thrown in jail during that time.

Amanda and KJ breakdown the beats of the episode, and of course the consistent referencing of The Wizard of Oz. KJ explains how different black people and white people can view things, and is not surprised when Clance see's Dorothy as the villain of The Wizard of Oz. KJ talks about the intersectionality the show is portraying, and that she didn't expect that necessarily from Abbi Jacobson. Amanda and KJ love the character of Bert. They see him as a smooth, cool, well-dressed cat and KJ brings up how important Bert is to Max's character, and how important representation is in general.

Both hosts are emotional as the ending to episode 6 is discussed. There's a lot of fear, pain and questioning of what will happen next. But one thing is for sure, both hosts agree Rosie O'Donnell's portrayal of Vi was well done, and hope to see more Vi in the future.

Host Amanda Costner and guest hosts Ro and Nika break down episode 5 of Amazon Prime's A League of Their Own. As usual episode 5 had a lot of content, stories and character development. So it's down to the "dream team" to discuss it all! Nika "the hater" actually loves this series, unlike First Kill, she thinks ALOTO has done a great job developing characters and introducing us to their world.

In this episode, Max goes through a lot dealing with her identity, queerness as well as her relationship with her mother, Toni. Ro and Amanda both relate to the desire to act straight and the fear that comes with realizing you're gay. All three agree the episode addresses the struggles and issues Max faces in a quality way. The trio also discuss the ongoing plotline between Carson and Greta, as well as the frustration Lupe goes through being blamed for last episodes team brawl. Amanda doesn't understand why Lupe has to take the fall, while Nika disagrees and see's some merit in her getting blamed. All three agree there is racism involved with the way Lupe is being treated.

Host Amanda Costner and guest host, professional baseball player Amy McCann dive into episode four of Amazon Prime's A League of Their Own. Amy goes into personal detail about what it was like growing up in Australia as a girl who wants to play baseball, finding the characters of A League of Their Own relatable in their desire to play ball as well as their struggle to find a way to play. Amy gives a unique point of view--she's lived the experience the series is portraying, in every way, down to her actually meeting and falling in love with her wife while they were playing baseball together.

How accurate is the ball playing on the field? How good of a job are the actors in this show doing at pretending to be professional baseball players? Amy answers all of these questions and more. Not only that, but Amy has studied a lot about the history of women in baseball, she points out that the first night game at Wrigley Field was actually played by women. Amanda jokes that maybe Amy has been feeding the A League of Their Own writer's room her personal stories, they sound so similar.

Episode four dives into Clance and Guy's struggle to come to terms with him being drafted to go to war. Max fights for her right to play on the Screws baseball team, which Amy and Amanda have different interpretations of. Amy thinks Max just wasn't quite ready for the big tryout. Amanda thinks it was a whiff, she choked. Both acknowledge there were psychological elements at play. Gretson have their big hookup moment in episode 4. Amy and Amanda have a lot of fun discussing their relationship and how both characters are progressing in the season.

Every recap host Amanda Costner and a new guest break down the episode, discussing major plot points, characters and storylines. In season one, episode three of Amazon Prime's A League of Their Own, Carson contends with the struggle that is her decision to turn down being more than friends with Greta. Max struggles with juggling two jobs, at one point turning to Leah for help with how to handle her mom and what to do about the Salon. And Clance struggles with how to reveal a major, life-changing letter her and her husband Guy received in the mail.

Throughout the recap both hosts give their unabashed opinions. Ida thinks Greta has been through a situation like the one she's in with Carson before (perhaps even more than once or twice...). Amanda answers a question she'd had in an earlier recap, deciding that, yes, Greta is playing games with Carson. Later in the recap both hosts reveal personal connections they have to the episode--Amanda as a former professional golfer and Ida as someone who had to contend with wanting more.

Hosts Amanda Costner and Erin recap Amazon Prime's A League of Their Own, episode two. Max is really the star of the second episode of the season--Erin and Amanda both give their takes on why Max is so great. Amanda brings up the fact that Max's character is based off of three African-American women who played baseball in the Negro American League. Erin likes Max and Clance together.

Another interesting character takes the focus in this episode: Vivian Hughes, the wealthy older woman who gives some of the ladies a speech on how she made it to the top, and what she did in order to afford some freedom in a male-dominated world. Erin feels some regret for Greta's character soaking this in so hard, and how it will effect her down the road...

Both hosts have a laugh at the ridiculousness of all the measures the players were made to go through by the owners of the league, like wearing skirts while playing baseball. Amanda acts out the horror in her mind following Erin's answer to why she would never play ball in a skirt.

The episode ends in a pretty GAY fashion--of course this is discussed, analyzed and gushed over. Plus, Erin and Amanda give their overall thoughts on the show so far, and who is standing out to them as a character so far.

This show is available in video format on our YouTube channel.
