Two exciting celebratory specials:

Ani DiFranco
The bi indie icon talks with Rosie Wilby from Resonance FM’s Out In South London about how she got into the music biz and her early career -- including gigs in London at age 19 that first billed her as "Arne" -- why she remains fiercely independent, the challenges of touring, and the cameo by legendary singer/songwriter Pete Seeger on her latest (and 17th) studio album, Which Side Are You On? (includes the title track and Amendment).

To listen to the Ani DiFranco special, click here!


Pride on Screen 2013
Before counting down his list of the top ten LGBT movies on the big screen in 2013, our multi-award-winning entertainment reporter Steve Pride provides a brief history of queer representations on the Silver Screen through the 1970’s, including clips from Victim, The Children’s Hour, Advise & Consent, The Detective, The Boys In The Band, Cabaret, The Ritz, and Making Love.  He singles out Whatever This Is and Orange Is The New Black as 2013’s best queer offerings on the small screen. And with clips and comments by their makers, Steve reveals his picks for the Top 10 LGBT moving images on the big screen in 2013 - sometimes needing English translations: Out In The Dark, I’m So Excited, Call Me Kuchu, Yossi, Dallas Buyers Club, God Loves Uganda, Concussion, Kill Your Darlings, I Do, and Pit Stop.
