Podcasting for the past year and a half has been a rewarding experience. Outside of gaining new listeners and having a weekly outlet of crazy things that occur in my head, I have enjoyed the sense of community that surrounds audio creatives. I have made so many new friends who are also podcast hosts. Not only are these people supportive, but they also have fantastic and consistent content. Starting with this post, I want to begin highlighting some of my favorite shows to listen.

There is no shortage of podcasts led by same-gender loving individuals, but one thing that certainly catches my eye is originality and content that moves away from the norm. "Gayside Stories" is no exception to this ideal. Led by the hilarious and honest Trillificent, this pod brings the latest in gay media while it also "examines aspects of the LGBTQA 'lifestyle' through discussions and personal stories, with meaningful lessons along the way." Along with very colorful guest hosts, visibility is spread to encourage and educated the masses.

Check out some of my favorites episodes of "Gayside Stories," including the show I had the pleasure of joining.
