By the community, for the community.

Geek Herring Productions is a collective of leading voices in queer geek culture. Our Community Creators host podcasts, talk shows, and events using our Twitch and Discord space.

We are queer-fronted, queer-focused, and passionate about making media production and content creation more accessible for the queer community. Intersectional feminism is one of our core values.

Geek Herring Productions is our space. It’s all of ours. It wouldn’t exist without all of us, every single one of us, and we want everyone to benefit and share in this glorious, gorgeous community we’re building together.

We strive to make a positive change and contribution to the industry and pay our community contributors a fair wage.

There are so many barriers (self-perceived or actual/financial) to content creation. We help educate people on stream set-up, podcast production, YouTube management – anything and everything that gives them the confidence to try it for themselves.

Our Shows

8-bit By bit

8-Bit By Bit is a gaming podcast hosted by Rik that breaks games into digestible chunks, playing through and analysing them each week with various special guests! They aim to entertain you with a chaotic, informal run down of what they experienced in the game, detailing their trials, tribulations, wins, and losses whilst hopefully giving you a few laughs along the way.

The CRoWded TaveRn

The Crowded Tavern is an actual play Dungeons and Dragons podcast, co-hosted by Amanda & written by Marty. We play Dungeons & Dragons and create magical worlds together. The cast includes Aedamori as Strix, Amanda as Nezakashtai, Cheesygidds as Benjamin, Danny as Auburn, and Rik/RikPixel as Arleem.

Geek HeRRing

Geek Herring is a podcast dedicated to intersectional feminism in Geek Culture, hosted by incorruptible women Moni and Amanda.

They talk about everything they love: video games, movies, superheroes, dismantling white supremacy, taking down the patriarchy, inspirational women, diversity and representation in geek culture, and, of course, speaking to the most wonderful people from across so many intersections in geek culture.

We Have A QueeRie (WHAQ)

WHAQ is a live-streamed talk show where hosts Gemma & Liz discuss queerness, its beauty, and its challenges.

WHAQ is all about good, educational discussions with some sass and sarcasm thrown in for good measure. Expect lots of curiosity from Liz (baby gay) and lots of real-life experience from Gemma (gayer than they come, and has always known it), with a few segments such as ‘WHAQing Off’ where we chat about what’s grinding our rainbow gears, ‘WHAQ facts’ where we challenge each other to a big gay game of True or False and ‘Back in the Gay’ where we talk about prominent dates in queer history.
