Radio presenter. musician, MC and dancer Bujy Bikwa has started his own podcast show called Queer Way of Life. But with only two episodes aired, the bubbly television personality has received a backlash from the queer community and his Twitter followers.

The Queer Way of Life podcast is a division of MacG’s Podcast and Chill network. The second episode was aired on 18 April, leaving many with a bitter taste in their mouths.

Viewers were given the impression that the purpose of the podcast would be to educate viewers and listeners about the queer community and the problems and issues faced by members of the queer community. But in the most recent episode, statements were made which were seen as ignorant and offensive to some members of the LQBTQI+ community.

Another issue which viewers seem to have with the podcast is  that Buji has been placed on a platform created by an alleged transphobe and homophobe. The podcast has also given a platform and safe space for abusers.
