Overnight Productions (Inc.), the nonprofit U.S. organization whose sole mission is the production and distribution of "This Way Out", has received another grant from the Kicking Assets Fund of the Tides Foundation! We've received a grant every year from this wonderful foundation since 1995. Their latest check underwrites about half of "This Way Out's" modest annual budget. We continue to count on and truly appreciate charitable donations of any amount (tax-deductible in the U.S.) to cover the rest of our community radio program's basic operating expenses. We offer several "thank you gift" CDs to our donors with a variety of LGBT news and cultural programming – they’re all described below. Tune in to our program on a radio near you, or via our podcast.

"This Way Out” is brought to you by you. Thank you so very much for your continuing support of our international lesbian and gay radio show. It's only because of you, and the volunteer radio producers who help make it possible, that we've been able to bring "This Way Out" to the world each and every week since April 1, 1988 (no foolin'!) – and thanks to the Kicking Assets Fund of the Tides Foundation, and with your help, we'll proudly keep 'em coming!

Their conversation covered civil rights activism, politics, and some of the gay personalities of the day. The Oscar-winning movie generated renewed interest in this historic figure. And, as you'll hear in this illuminating and highly entertaining half-hour interview with the pioneering LGBT civil rights hero, much of what Harvey had to say still resonates today.

STRANGER THAN STRAIGHT The legendary American DJ known as "Dr. Demento" raised audio kitsch to an artform. As "Nurse Pimento", the late Southern California gay activist and radio producer David Fradkin added his own kind of spice to pursuing the peculiarities of popular culture in this early 1980s half-hour production, which features some offbeat queer words and music from Carroll "Archie Bunker" O'Connor, Groucho Marx, Perry Como, Laurel and Hardy, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks, Tommy Smothers, Martin Mull, Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Noel Coward, the poignant self-aware words of Holocaust teen diarist Anne Frank, Bessie Smith singing, and her niece Ruby telling interviewer Chris Albertson about, their especially entertaining visit to a "Buffet Flat" -- and more!

As rich with the music and culture of the period as it is with the politics, the hour traces the event from the initial planning conference and some activists' heartfelt and sometimes humorous cross-country trip to D.C. on a "Freedom Train" to the big day itself, and its coverage (or lack thereof) in the conventional media. DIMINISHED CAPACITY Alive with the sounds from the streets, this documentary, produced by "This Way Out" Coordinating Producer Greg Gordon, captures the enormous impact on the queer community of the November 1978 assassinations of openly gay San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk and gay-friendly Mayor George Moscone. The "diminished capacity" defense (since eliminated legislatively) made it possible for former Supervisor Dan White to receive a very lenient sentence for the dual murders, a decision that sent shockwaves through the Castro District and led to what became known as the "White Night Riots." This fast-paced hour tracks the entire story through and including White's eventual suicide, with comments by many leading lesbian and gay activists and journalists of the time, and riveting thematic music by the Tom Robinson Band. THE BIGGEST QUEER NEWS OF 2003 A keepsake collection of more than an hour of "This Way Out" reports during a landmark year for LGBT progress, with the voices of many of the activists involved, covering the advent of legal same gender marriage in Canada, the U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning state sodomy laws, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision opening legal marriage to queer couples, and a P-FLAG mom's "on scene" account of and sound from the historic consecration of openly gay Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson. SPECIAL PACKAGE: Get all of these CDs for a donation of at least $200. We’ll acknowledge donations of $250 or more on the air upon request.       Facing The Voices "This Way Out" Coordinating Producer Greg Gordon: "This Way Out" Associate Producer Lucia Chappelle: "Audiofile" Co-Producers JD Doyle & Chris Wilson: "Audiofile" Co-Producer Christopher David Trentham: "Pride On Screen" Reporter Steve Pride: "NewsWrap" Co-anchor & Features Producer Jon Beaupré: "NewsWrap" Co-Anchor Christopher Gaal: "NewsWrap" Co-Anchor Tanya Kane-Parry: "NewsWrap" Co-Anchor Sheri Lunn: "NewsWrap" Co-Anchor Rick Watts: "NewsWrap" Co-Anchor Leigh Moore: "NewsWrap" Co-Anchor John Torres: "NewsWrap" Co-Anchor Pam Marshall: "NewsWrap" Co-Anchor Michele Pleasant: "This Way Out" Correspondent & Host of "QueerFM" on CiTR/Vancouver Heather Kitching: Queer Lit Commentator Janet Mason: News & Arts Correspondent Bryan Goebel: "Rainbow Minute" Producers Judd Proctor & Brian Burns: Write To Us!
