Campaign director of Defund the BBC claims Swipe Your Sign has little value for money
The BBC has announced the launch of a new podcast about “astrology-based black queer dating”.
Broadcast executives have unveiled the show, believed to be the first programme to focus on its particular subject matter, to coincide with UK Black Pride 2023.
The BBC’s latest offering, called Swipe Your Sign, will feature dating aided by the auguries of a professional astrologer.
Promotional material for the podcast boasts that “never before has there been a black, queer focused dating podcast”, and adds that the new offering will cover issues including “challenging heteronormative roles in queer relationships”.
