Coming Out Day - A collection from Queer Life Stories

Welcome back to Queer Tasmania, a new LGBTIQA+ podcast from North West Pride (producers of Queer Life Stories). Today is Coming Out Day – a day to support anyone who is coming out of the closet. Our original podcast, Queer Life Stories (returning again in 2025) was created to help break down ignorance and misunderstandings of our community, so show that our lives are different and difficult only because of the societal challenges imposed on us for being queer. Queer Life Stories was an attempt to show the everyday stories of being queer in Tasmania, and capture those lived experiences and amazing stories of unique and wonderful people. In this episode, we share a few of the Coming Out stories that were shared over the years of the Queer Life Stories podcast – and at least one that was recorded, but until now, has not been heard. Details to on where to find the full episodes of each of our coming out stories are further below. Queer Tasmania has some great upcoming episodes in the planning stages, but our releases may be a bit sporadic - so please, keep an eye on our social media to keep up to date - Find us at Queer Tasmania on Facebook, Queer Tasmania Podcast on Instagram and to reach out via email at Wakefield_Productions@outlook.com [Wakefield_Productions@outlook.com] If you have a story idea you'd like to hear on the podcast, or if you'd like to host or make your own episode to share, please reach out to us and have a chat.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
