Q4Q: Queer Personals Podcast
Let's get personal! Since the dawn of time, humans have been desperate for connection. Then we realized we could solicit strangers through the Sunday paper. You’ve heard of Craigslist personals, just imagine the pining and thirst from lonely queers searching for love. Listen as we read and rate personal ads from the ‘70s through 2000s! If you love gay yearning, you’ll love Q4Q! Be on the show: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8dOqRD6JF00L1fzyu8kXbBM58Z19ZlOs1aGeRv1usobmIDg/viewform
Q4Q: Queer Personals Podcast
The OG Facebook Wall
Did you know that people wrote in to their newspapers for friends' birthdays, anniversaries, or even just to get a hold of someone? In Episode 8, Thaddeus and Haley flip through some queer classifieds to find some fun examples of how people announced their feelings before the digital age.
If you haven’t already, please give us a quick review and rating on iTunes or wherever you’re listening.
