As we wrap up Pride Month, our pod­cast dis­cus­sion turns to queer spaces and queer com­mu­ni­ty on the radio and in pod­cast­ing, specif­i­cal­ly les­bian broad­cast­ers in Cana­da. Our guest, Stacey Copeland is a media pro­duc­er and Ph.D. can­di­date at Simon Fras­er University’s School of Com­mu­ni­ca­tion in Van­cou­ver, Cana­da. Stacey has been research­ing the his­to­ry of les­bian radio shows, includ­ing The Les­bian Show and Dykes on Mics. Com­mu­ni­ty radio played an impor­tant role in wel­com­ing gay and les­bian pro­gram­ming, with shows air­ing on sta­tions like Van­cou­ver Co-op Radio and cam­pus-com­mu­ni­ty radio sta­tion CKUT. Bring­ing the con­ver­sa­tion to 2021, we also talk about con­nec­tions between these ear­ly shows and cur­rent-day queer podcasts.
