This is the best day of the whole year! The day the A+ podcast finally finally says hello to you! As you may remember, we've had a time getting this project off the ground. But then we asked for help in the form of real podcast producers and the bright light of hope broke on the horizon and HERE WE ARE. Settle in and listen to Audrey and Intern Raquel ruin poetry! Brittani and Carmen offer the first installment of "A Plus B and Lil C," and Laura helps you make a recipe for your armpits. Riese, Laneia and Rachel are also introducing a new series, BFF Interviews, where a team member interviews their best friend — it's sort like the Interview With an Ex series, but with a different set of questions! We're gonna transcribe the interviews and turn them into articles, but you can listen to the RAW TAPES, right here and right now.
This was edited and produced by the great Julia Wetherell and Samara Berger, and you can listen to it here or download it. We hope you like it! We have lots of f...
You Have Reached A+ Content!
98% of the content on this website is available to everybody for free, but this is one of the 1-2 posts we publish each month just for Silver and Gold A+ members. We also publish an additional 2-3 posts a month available to all A+ members (Bronze, Silver and Gold). WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? Well, because...
We Need Your Help.
This might be an awkward way to ask for it, but here goes: we know you like Autostraddle, and we like you a whole lot too. Advertisers and investors, on the other hand? Well, independently-owned politically progressive LGBTQ women's media isn't exactly their thing. It's do or die for us now: either we shore up enough reader support to compensate for the slowdown in ad sales and increasing competition from corporate-owned LGBTQ media, or we shut down altogether.
That's why we've created Autostraddle Plus. It's a way for loyal readers like you to support the site for as little as $5 a month, and in return get a peek behind the curtain of Autostraddle with posts like this one, A+ swag, podcasts, Insider "newsletters," and essays/interviews from the previously-very-hidden parts of our hearts, souls and pants. Best of all, you're helping us keep Autostraddle.com free for everybody — free of cost, and also free from the inevitable compromises made by sites that cater to marketers, not readers.
A+ is a sustainable way for queer people and allies to opt into a system that financially supports other queer people. With the support of readers like you, we can pay our writers, diversify our team and continue to coordinate the worldwide meet-ups that have changed so many lives.
