Queer Power Hour
Thursday at 6 pm
KALW’s Queer Power Hour is full of stories that are old and new, local and global. Each week, we curate a show around a specific theme, featuring queer stories from our friends at Out in the Bay, Stereotypes, StoryCorps, TransLash Media, Making Gay History, LGBTQ&A and Slate's Outward, as well as the work of queer producers from around the world. Our goal: to explore and amplify the full diversity of the LGBTQIA+ experience.
We want to hear from you: Have a suggestion for a theme for a future episode? Want to introduce us to your favorite queer show? Is there a story we should feature? Drop us a note.
