Arkansas' Queer Frontier Revisited

Greetings. Life is good. Long time no see J

In the 1990s, I was involved with some volunteer community radio shows. Before widespread internet access, I had great compassion for young gay men and lesbians in Arkansas’ rural conservative environment. Jay Darnel, Shana Saunders, Craig Wendzl and others created a weekly gay & lesbian radio program called “The Queer Frontier.”

I did the news, and the others brought in their gay & lesbian music collections. 100,000 watts of Little Rock FM every week

I recorded the shows with a cassette recorder/radio player on cassette, and years later digitized this show. While listening a few days back, I thought of making this video (roughly an hour in 6 parts) to preserve the efforts at outreach, support, and community building in 1993, when I was 29.
