This Queer Book Saved My Life
Fans of On Being and Los Culturistas love this 2024 GLAAD Media Award nominee for Outstanding Podcast. Featuring Carmen Maria Machado, Alison Bechdel, Jennifer Finney Boylan, Greg Louganis, Becky Albertalli, and so many more, guests from across the rainbow tell these authors how their books helped them overcome alienation, gender dysphoria, familial homophobia, and being outed. Essayist and Lambda Literary Fellow John Parker hosts the conversations with a gentle and energetic style, standing in as conversational partner for posthumous authors. Stay tuned to off-weeks which features new episodes of 7 Minutes in Book Heaven and The Gaily Show.

The Gaily Show: Queer Slang with K Anderson
A new episode of This Queer Book Saved My Life drops on December 16th! In our off weeks we play episodes of The Gaily Show which John hosts. The Gaily Show is the only daily LGBTQ progressive news and talk radio show in the country airing in Minneapolis (AM950-KTNF) and Chicago (WCPT 820).
In this episode, Queer Word is a phenomenal weekly e-newsletter that introduces you to queer history and culture one word at a time. It also includes headlines about queer joy and queer rage. It’s a newsletter I personally read every week and recommend! Subscribe here: https://queer-word.beehiiv.com
Queer Word is written by K Anderson, who also hosted the Lost Spaces podcast.
Lost Spaces was a conversation based podcast where every week K Anderson spoke to a different person about a lost queer space from their past, what they got up to there, and how it helped to shape the person they’ve become. Check it out here: https://lostspacespodcast.com
