    Transcripts Presents: "Do Less Harm"

    Hi, and welcome back to Transcripts. We’ve taken a brief hiatus-- ok, a LONG hiatus-- and now we’re back with a new model. We’re excited to be changing up the format and hopefully making this space an accessible and creative feed for trans creators in audio! But first, we’re bringing you a special piece from our friends at KCRW’s Bodies podcast. It’s a piece that’s both powerful and informative, and it does this thing that I really love: it’s reporting about a trans person, but it doesn’t do all sorts of unnecessary explaining about pronouns or identity. Instead, it focuses on what the person does, and their impact on the wider community.  "Do Less Harm" is about a person named Lill, who lives in Appalachian West Virginia — it’s coal country, and it’s also the overdose capital of the United States. An increasingly dangerous drug supply and a lack of safe supplies like clean syringes leave people who use drugs vulnerable to disease and death. Lill is trying to fill that gap, providing safe supplies and care all over West Virginia — even as the government tries to stop them. And as for the next Transcripts episode, well-- it might be made by YOU! We’re soliciting audio from both new and experienced audio-makers, stuff made in ProTools and stuff made with an iPhone, whatever, as long as it’s unique and trans. We have a little budget to pay for some new pieces, too, which is cool! Full details will be up on our twitter account @transcriptspod and you can vote for the first season’s “theme” starting on October 25th. So go over and follow us if you don’t already, and get thinking about what story YOU could tell.

    Transcripts Presents: voces

    Hi everyone, this episode I’m turning the mic over to Leo Valdes, a PhD student from Rutgers University. They’ve been working with the Voces Oral History Project at UT Austin and the Latino New Jersey Oral History Project, and recently have been conducting interviews w trans Latinx people about their experiences with Covid-19. This interview is in Spanish, with short interludes narrated in English. Even if you are a monolingual English speaker, I encourage you to listen the best you can, and hear the emotion and clarity in Viviana's voice. Also, Leo's a great writer and their interludes are beautiful.  Additional music in this episode is from Blue Dot Sessions, and from Thalía's song "A Quien Le Importa." ------- Transcripts is a project of Tretter Transgender Oral History Project, a project of the University of Minnesota Libraries. And we have a BRAND NEW TWITTER ACCOUNT at @transcriptspod, please go give us a follow and spread the word. Thanks again for being on this journey with us, and talk to you soon.

    a quick programming note!

    Hi! I got some logistical wires crossed on my end and I'm gonna release this week's planned episode next week instead. Stay tuned-- it'll be worth the wait.  Also, shh, later this week we're soft-launching our new social media stuff, so expect to hear more about that soon. Maybe I'll even drop a little note in the feed about that.  xo

    Transcripts Presents: "Rest + Resilience"

    Today, an episode of Queer The Table, a show that describes itself as about "the joyful, messy, radical magic that happens in spaces where queerness and food intersect." I met host Nico Wisler when they were working on an episode of the podcast Bodies, but they reached out recently to share this amazing interview they did with Black trans activist Ianne Fields Stewart of The Okra Project. You'll hear how the project got started, what they're doing to keep supporting Black trans people during COVID, and how they're trying to leverage their suddenly much-larger platform while being mindful of their own capacity, which is NOT EASY. Take a listen. ---------- Quick programming note-- in TWO weeks, we'll be putting out our first non-English-language episode, a collab with a new Latinx oral history project, and then in FOUR weeks we'll have a brand new in-house produced episode from the Tretter Trans Oral History project! This new episode focuses on trans Southerners and their struggles to achieve housing justice, even though "home" is a fraught and sometimes even traumatizing idea. We have such a powerful set of voices, plus some genuinely incredible radical trans southern music, and we're so stoked to share. So be on the lookout for that soon! ------ We're Transcripts, a project of Tretter Transgender Oral History Project, a project of the University of Minnesota Libraries. Keep listening for more from us-- we're about to launch some big things, including virtual community events, new social media, and more! So as always, please rate and review, share with a friend, and help us grow. Talk soon.

    Transcripts Presents: "they/them"

    Welcome to a new administration, for those of us in the United States.  With that in mind, it feels like today is the right day bring you a piece that focuses on thinking transness across borders. This episode is called "They / Them," and it's from Fil Corbitt's new show The Wind. I love love love these deeply felt conversations about language beyond the gender binary in English, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Portuguese and Hebrew. I learned a lot, and I think you will too.  We're Transcripts, a project of Tretter Transgender Oral History Project, a project of the University of Minnesota Libraries. Keep listening for more from us-- we're about to launch some big things, including virtual community events, new social media (!!!), and more!  So as always, please rate and review, share with a friend, and help us grow. See you next time.
