Queering Podcastland — Lauren Ober in Conversation with Tobin Low and Kathy Tu of “Nancy”

In recent years, podcasting has exploded. But until recently, there was one glaring void — the LGBTQ podcast. Enter “Nancy” from WNYC Studios. With their podcast, Tobin Low and Kathy Tu created a space for all people to engage with ideas and issues affecting the queer community, from the Orlando shooting and the trans military ban, to gay wizards and LGTBQ summer camp. In a conversation with Lauren Ober, host of NPR’s “The Big Listen,” Low and Tu talk about their “Nancy” journey and touch on questions of intersectionality in podcasting, whether we even still need to tell queer stories and how LGBTQ people can carve out space in the crowded podcast marketplace.
