We hear a lot about inclusive clubs being a haven for LGBTQIA+ people to go and be active, but is that easier to do in lesser spotlighted sports that don't garner the same attention, or have as long of a history? That's what we're discussing on this episode with quadball's Emma Humphrey (aka Jandels) and Sam Tulloch, with Perth Parrots Floorball Club founder Frazer Robertson in tow too.

In this episode of Seen & Heard, established broadcaster Emma Dodds and Glasgow Caledonian University journalism student Jay Blakeway join the discussion.

We cover how inclusive the sports journalism industry really is, how that compares to expectations, having to cover major - but at times controversial - events like the World Cup and what advice can be given to aspiring or up and coming LGBTQIA+ journalists.
