ONE Archives Foundation is thrilled to launch a new podcast project for this year’s Pride season – Periodically Queer. The podcast will dive deep into the history and stories around LGBTQ+ print media, periodicals, and organizations. On each episode of Periodically Queer, the ONE Archives Foundation team and their guests will explore the stories behind the page, and discuss topics such as queer community building, finding LGBTQ+ ancestors and more.
Periodically Queer focuses on LGBTQ+ organizations of color with publications circulating in the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s. The pilot episodes feature conversations with founding members, editors, and contributors to groundbreaking publications Lavender Godzilla (1988-present, podcast participants: Dino Duazo and John Silva) Homan Magazine (1991-2002, podcast participants: Albert Maghbouleh, Payam Ghassemlou), and COLORLife! (1992-1994, podcast participants: Mariana Romo-Carmona, Lisette Cheng, Sheilah Mabrey, and Vondora Wilson).
