Show format: We seek guests who will discuss a book that had a life-saving impact for them. We want to hear from guests from across the LGBTQ rainbow in terms of identity and profession! We believe ALL of our stories need to be told.

What does “saved” mean? Listen to a few episodes! It can be the book’s “saving features helped you find the language to come out, or to begin your gender transition, or process a past abusive relationship, or navigate homophobia in your family.  

This show is NOT an interview show for an author’s upcoming book.
