Q4Q: Queer Personals Podcast

Surprise! We’re back with a new collaborative project– Queer Seeking Queer: A Colorful History. Haley joined forces with Dan of @longlostpersonals and Alexis @Alexis_aquarian to create this cheeky, kinky, one-of-a-kind coloring book featuring personal ads from LGBTQ+ newspapers from the 1920s to 1990s. In this episode, Dan, Alexis, and Haley talk about the long journey to create the book, where you can find it, and swipe left or right on some of the ads within!  You can find your copy of Queer Seeking Queer: A Colorful History at Women & Children First bookshop in Chicago, or order from them online [https://www.womenandchildrenfirst.com/product/queer-seeking-queer]! You can also find it on bookshop.org and Amazon (leave a review if you can!) Listen to us on Spotify, Stitcher, Apple Podcast, or wherever you listen to your tunes! Interested in being on the show?

Welcome to a truly itty bitty episode with guest host,  Gabriel—founder, creator, and archivist for @Itty_Bitty_Queer_History. In this episode, Haley takes a page out of Gabriel’s teeny tiny books to pursue some short & sweet personal ads. These authors are very concise yet have a diverse set of needs—from bowling buddies to sugar daddies, water sports to paranormal experiences. You should probably leave them a voicemail to learn more.  Listen to us on Spotify, Stitcher, Apple Podcast, or wherever you listen to your tunes! Interested in being on the show?
