Transcripts Presents: Country Queers

We're back with another "Transcripts Presents" episode, bringing you the latest and greatest in trans audio. We have some amazing stuff queued up for you this summer while our team is working hard fundraising for the next few episodes. Today, we're bringing you the trailer for a brand new show that we love: Country Queers. It's about home, resilience, and building power where you are. And it's really really good. And hey, if you like what we're doing, please rate and review us in your podcast app! We're not selling ads or anything, but we really want to make sure folks can find the show, and ratings / reviews helps that to happen. Thank you so much. -------- Original show notes: When Rae Garringer set out to gather rural and small town LGBTQIA+ histories in 2013, they had no formal training in oral history or audio recording. They were motivated by a deep frustration that it was so hard to find rural queer stories, and an intense personal need to connect with other rural queers. In this episode you'll learn more about Rae and the history of the ongoing multimedia oral history project: Country Queers. Learn more at www.countryqueers.com and become a patron of the show at https://countryqueers.com/help-fund-this-project/. And be sure to check out the amazing work of the STAY Project and Southerners On New Ground for more intersectional queer and trans work focused on rural spaces. -------- This is Transcripts, bringing you both original programming and a round-up of the best and brightest in trans audio. We're a program of the University of Minnesota Libraries. To learn more about us, go to bit.ly/transcriptspod. See you in two weeks for more trans activist brilliance.
