Starting in Australia and now in the UK, Token is a podcast about marginalised identities. But it's fun - we promise. We talk about race, gender, sexuality, culture, politics and whatever else makes you feel like a token in today's world. The only constants are fun, frank discussion and the freedom to politely ask awkward questions. And we want to hear from you too. So, whether you agree or disagree with us, or you simply have a different perspective, keep it respectful and get in touch!
