evolution

Our intention has always been to uplift, entertain, and encourage
people, especially fellow LGBTQers and progressive allies around
the world, ever since we first started podcasting in 2007.
Over the years, we’ve continued to get messages from listeners
who’ve shared how it’s helped them through difficult times, like
coming out, rejection from family, dealing with religion, or living
in the closet, helping them feel more understood, less alone, and
just kept them going, reminding them and showing them, that life is
worthwhile.
That’s exactly why we do it.
We managed to self-finance the podcast since 2007. For 13
years!
But now, we’re extending an invitation, and a way for you, the
listener, to play a part in supporting it. See all kinds of ways to
