Grab your friends, iron your flags, and buy your tickets because your favorite chaotic, truth-bomb-dropping podcast crew is heading to Chester Pride Saturday 15th August.
Please Queer Responsibly hosts Wes, Andrew, Hannah, Richard and TJ have officially confirmed they are recording a massive, season finale episode throughout the day.
Known for decoding queer culture with a perfect balance of deep dives, laugh-out-loud relationship advice, and brutally honest anonymous confessions, the team is bringing their microphones out of the studio and right into the thick of the action at Castle Square.
Here is what the Please Queer Responsibly crew has in store for the day, and exactly how you can get featured on the upcoming episode.
Expect the team to be marching right alongside the community, capturing the high-energy chants, the best outfits of the day, and the moving, historical weight of Pride as a protest. The crew will be tracking the parade route, grabbing quick soundbites from local businesses, activists, and visitors making noise down Chester’s historic Rows.
🎤 The Main Event: Games, Grilling, and Guest Confessions
Once the parade wraps and the festival site at Castle Square opens up, Please Queer Responsibly is launching their pop-up mobile studio. They aren’t just there to report—they are there to play.
The team has built a series of lightning-fast festival games designed to test your queer trivia and your willingness to embarrass yourself for free merch.
🤫 The Infamous Confession Box
The staple of the podcast is its anonymous dilemmas and messy stories. For Chester Pride, the hosts are setting up a physical Confession Box. Had a piece of group chat drama you need to get off your chest? Made a spectacularly poor life choice on a night out? The team will be reviewing your submissions live on air, offering up their signature brand of wise advice—or a well-deserved, loving telling-off.
The Please Queer Responsibly crew wants to put the community at the very center of this episode. If you are attending Chester Pride, they want you on the mic!

- Find the Crew: Look out for the bright Please Queer Responsibly banners near the Castle Square main site. The team will be floating around with mic flags and recording gear all afternoon.

- Bring Cash and an Open Mind: A quick festival tip from host Richard: “Chester Pride’s bars are cash-only this year due to local internet outages—so make sure you hit the ATM before you hit our queue!”
