Created by and for students. Older LGBTQ+ people in Santa Cruz County are interviewed by younger queer students about their stories since the 1970s in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Santa Cruz Pride. Students from across Santa Cruz County conducted the interviews and then edited and produced each 20-minute long podcast. These podcasts will be released each Tuesday in 2025. We thank Patti Maxine on the steel string guitar for providing the music and the art was developed by Hex, one of the involved high school students.
