The Tegan and Sara PRIDE Special! (Audio)

June 24, 2017
New York City, NY
Hey, pals!
June is LGBTQ pride month. That’s when the Stonewall riots happened back in 1969 that lead to the modern gay rights movement. And we thought it would be nice to mark the occasion with a rollicking chat with two LGBTQ pioneers, the musicians Tegan and Sara. Who also happen to be devoted podcast fans. FYI.
We talked to the openly gay Canadian duo about all kinds of stuff - the joys of air travel, the hustle of the music business and of course, podcasts. The twin sisters listen to podcasts whenever they get a chance, which is mostly when they’re on an airplane traveling from tour date to tour date.
Here’s what they recommend you put your ears on:
S-Town
Still Processing
2 Dope Queens
Sooo Many White Guys
Sleepover
Nancy
Someone Knows Something
This American Life
That last one is Sara’s “Beatles.” Ira Glass is her John Lennon.
Happy Pride everyone! Be good to each other.

That's awesome! I've been listening to this American life since 2005. A lot of great shows on NPR. I drive coast to coast for my job and that's all I do is listen to podcasts. And back then it was sometimes hard to tune your station in. You guys don't need to Poll the public on your potential podcast. Because I for one would tune in every time it aired! I love Tegan's perspective of the show. I love good talkers... and you my friends are fabulous.!
