We are pleased to announce that OUTspoken is now a Podcast!  OUTspoken is Chicago’s monthly storytelling event celebrating uniquely personal stories from across the LGBTQ community. OUTspoken is held on the first Tuesday of each month at Sidetrack. As with all public events, we are unable to meet in person as this time.  Since its inception, we have recorded all audio from the 6-7 stories each month and have had the intention of creating a podcast around these stories.  Since we cannot meet in person for at least April and possibly May, we saw this as a great time to move forward with creating the podcast. 

For our first Podcast, we are featuring some of the stories told by our team members: hosts, Kim L. Hunt and Art Johnston, as well as current curator Archy Jamjun.  These three stories focus on some of the major topics in the LGBTQ+ community: navigating marriage and family, social activism, and Whitney Houston.  The podcast is hosted and produced by Devlyn Camp.
