edit data

Matt Baume is a writer, podcaster, and video-maker based in Seattle whose work focuses on pop culture, queer history, and all things strange and nerdy.

He is the creator of the the YouTube pop culture series Culture Cruise; the queer entertainment podcast The Sewers of Paris; and is co-creator of Queens of Adventure, a live show and podcast featuring drag queens playing Dungeons & Dragons.

He was nominated for a GLAAD award for journalism, and his work has been recognized by the New York Times as “thoughtful and thorough … informative and funny,” and after he appeared as a pop culture critic in the Showgirls documentary You Don’t Nomi, Forbes called his observations on the film “potentially intriguing,” which is probably a compliment.
