Guests on the podcast series include Romy, Andy Butler, Lakuti, Kim Ann Foxman, Peaches, Planningtorock, fka.m4a, Fat Tony, and Josh Caffe. The series will feature playlists with tracks that are covered across all the episodes.
In an interview with Mixmag, Cormac said that he hopes the podcast will help people connect through music. He added “not only as an LGBTQIA+ community but as a dance music community. The podcast isn’t exclusive, it’s for everyone…My hope with the podcast is for people to connect through music.”
