        <itunes:summary>Out and About is a queer culture podcast where we overshare and overanalyze. Hosted by Sam, Abby, your favorite cousin&#39;s cousins, each episode starts with a catch-up on life, touches on a niche aspect of queer culture, and ends with the recommendations you didn’t know you needed.

We&#39;re unfiltered, and unapologetically gay - like your group chat, but slightly more structured and on main.</itunes:summary>
