Lez Hang Out is a podcast produced and hosted by Ellie Brigida and Leigh Holmes Foster which discusses many aspects of lesbian and sapphic culture and life, with a large part of that focus being on sapphic media and fandoms, including femslash, representation, and their experiences with sapphic media over the years.

As well as they main, regular episodes, they have two theme-type episodes running throughout the podcast season. 'Lez-ssentials' episodes focus on specific media that they felt were particularly important, either to themselves or to the lesbian or wider sapphic communities. 'Should Have Been Gay (SBG)' episodes are they either discuss media which they felt should have made their characters canonically sapphic or they discuss how films and TV series would have been different (and arguably better) if they had been about sapphic women instead.

In October 2023, the official description read:

Hang out with Ellie Brigida and Leigh Holmes Foster, the lesbians you'd want at your potluck! Covering topics on lesbian experiences, representation, culture, life, love, etc. for some sapphic socialization!

Lez Hang Out started a #ReleaseTheKiss hashtag campaign when they called on Universal Studios to stop queerbaiting fans of the Bechloe pairing from Pitch Perfect. Alongside this, they donated money to LGBT Fans Deserve Better.[1]
