KC and Elka

KC and Elka are the hosts of The Planet, a podcast companion to the Showtime television series The L Word. Residents of Albuquerque, USA, through the podcast they became minor spokesmen for the lesbian community worldwide, riding a float in the 2008 and 2009 Albuquerque Pride parade and gaining a mention in American lesbian magazine Curve. Combined, their names give the slang term 'Kelkian', which refers to listeners of the show. Throughout the running of the podcast, they were a couple, and occasionally spoke of their plans to get married and have children.

KC
KC is the older of the two hosts and works in advertising. Although raised in a much more conservative family than Elka, she is the more outspoken and experienced of the pair. In her role as host, she takes a less formal and often more controversial approach to the issues raised by their focus, The L Word, as well as in her and Elka's private life. For example, her opinions on Elka's bisexuality - that it did not exist and that Elka was in fact a lesbian - sparked much discussion amongst the podcast's fans and caused extensive debate between the couple.

Elka
Younger than KC, Elka worked as a scientist throughout the running of the show. A bisexual to KC's lesbian, Elka's views were often more liberal than KC's, although she never shied away from a controversial opinion.

Elka earned a reputation as the more hard-working of the pair, answering listener emails and researching topic show The L Word, although KC contested the actual difference in workload.
