LGBTQ+ Stories

The democratic nature of podcasting has made it a place for LGBTQ+ voices and stories to thrive since the beginning, and that’s something to celebrate. Here are some stories and voices that resonate with me, through their explorations of identity, community, courage, vulnerability and of course, parenting.



Back in 2006, my first sense of community as a newly out lesbian sprang from a podcast. The Planet: the podcast for L Word fans, was, to me, more entertaining and relatable than The L Word itself and, though it was one-sided, hosts Elka and KC were the first lesbians I really got to know. I wasn’t alone anymore. Sharing our stories makes a difference. (All the episodes are on YouTube if you want to take yourself back there).



I make a serialized documentary podcast called Not By Accident, about choosing to become a single mother and coping with being one. I’m also a lesbian. More at notbyaccident.net
