Welcome to OUT Cast, a new half-hour talk show on WMPG with co-hosts Steve, Madeline and Stan. We intend to address a broad range of issues of interest to the LGBTQ+ community here in Maine, both topical and historical; ranging from politics to job issues, parenting, books, local events, health care and we welcome suggestions from our audience. We want the show to be relevant to youth and elders alike and to address the growing diversity in our community. This is an ambitious agenda, but we welcome the opportunity we have gotten from WMPG to give voice to our communal concerns at a pivotal time in history. For example, 2 of our December shows will focus on transgender rights as the Trump administration attempts to eliminate the gains that have been made over the past few decades. There will be generous doses of humor on the way with phone-in and in-studio interviews as part of the mix. We will also entertain calls from the listening audience.
