Queer Power Hour
Thursdays 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, 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.
