This week, we’re honoring Bay Area heroes and icons. On this episode, The Kitchen Sisters introduce us to Gert McMullin, who's been called the mother of the AIDS Quilt. We hear about how she channeled anger into action during the AIDS pandemic and how she summoned it once again when Covid struck. Along the way, we hear snapshots of San Francisco gay history.
The Kitchen Sisters Audio Festival is a month of Bay Made episodes featuring the work of the Bay Area's own Kitchen Sisters.
Over the course of the month, we will dig deep into their 40-plus year archive of audio gems: profiles of everyday people just outside the frame of history. And we'll talk with them about their mission, their connection to the Bay Area, lessons they've learned and stories they can't get out of their minds.
