GNG review
Hi my name is Brendan Bradley and I’m personal friends with both of these wonderful hosts and I really appreciate how knowledgeable and friendly they are. They truly make me smile and they have given me plenty of new knowledge on women’s wrestling while spotlighting various wrestlers in the LGBTQ community! If you are looking for a great women’s wrestling centric podcast this is a brilliant place to start!

A poor produced podcast
If you are looking for a podcast that's supposedly been around for years that a) doesn't cover wrestling? b) doesn't actually cover women's wrestling c) has some of the worst structure and audio a podcast can put out? then this is for you. I'm absolutely convinced the host(s) does not bother with any sort of editing nor even cares. The structure makes zero sense along with incredibly poor descriptions of their episodes. To be fair, one key thing in their mission statement is to bring awareness to the LGBTQ community within wrestling. It's the one and only thing they do well. However, the audio is usually so horrible it's an awful experience to listen to. I'll point to their last episode on the Torch as an example for that. Do they cover women's wrestling regularly in any major promotion in the West? No. Do they cover women's wrestling regularly or even mention in Japan? No. Do they cover women's wrestling regularly of an American indie/wrestler you've never heard of? Well...the person or promotion to promote, yes. The actual wrestling? Still No. Cannnot and will not recommend to anyone. I wish they will do better and improve because their message is at least encouraged.
