The oral sharing of stories, narratives, and histories has long been a vital part of a culture’s development. But the Sunday edition of Proud Voices gives traditional storytelling motifs a colourful, contemporary twist when queer storytellers impart their wisdom and experiences. Yukon golden child Ivan E. Coyote takes listeners on a wild road trip. Storytelling siren Anna Camilleri (and Coyote’s former Taste This accomplice) explores gender and femininity. Rico Rodriguez’s folktales, fairytales, and histories draw from Latin and Hispanic cultures. Christina Starr muses on her roles as both queer activist and “mommy”. And from opera-singing child prodigy to amateur boxer to trans man, Tristan Whiston shares his unique view.  Hosted by Arianna Pozzuoli.
