Family, it’s your favorite queer radio personality Anna DeShawn and this is Queer News. Your fav weekly news pod where race & sexuality meet politics, culture, and entertainment.
As promised I want to answer the questions you left for me in the survey. You all took the time and I want to take the time too. This week’s question, “Where’s the hotline? I have a queer news story to share!”
It’s that time to talk about the QCrew! Thank y’all so much for supporting the work of this podcast. Our Queer News community receives a weekly email sharing our top queer news stories, an unedited video from me about our top stories, and now first dibs on our exclusive interviews. The QCrew helps to supplement the costs of pod; podcast hosting, editing, marketing, PR, travel, etc. If you believe in the work we do. If you believe LGBTQ stories need to be amplified. If you love and respect how I report on the news and tell our stories, join the QCrew. A link is in the show notes.
