This episode features listener stories, updates from some incredible LGBTQIA+ organizations, a reminder about this year’s Pride merch, and a heartfelt conversation with Survivor 49’s Sage Ahrens-Nichols (she/they). Sage joins them to talk about identity, queerness, curiosity, and the relief that can come with finding language for who you are. They share about being themselves in an environment as intense as Survivor, the importance of not making assumptions about other people, and how asking thoughtful, respectful questions can make space for people to feel seen. It is a conversation about authenticity, courage, and the ways honesty can make it easier for someone else to be honest, too. They share messages from listeners responding to this season’s question: What does being LGBTQ+ in the Survivor community mean to you? The answers are funny, emotional, personal, and full of gratitude for the people who have made this community feel like home. As Pride Month comes to a close, the conversation is also a reminder that queer community, care, and celebration matter all year long. 0:00 – Start 1:40 – Rainbow Road 2:33 – Ten Oaks Project 6:30 – Tez Vlamis, Australian Survivor 7:31 – Kim 8:31 – Thunderkatz 9:28 – Jay 10:29 – Interview with Sage begins 1:16:55 – Will, Underground Games 1:17:55 – Dru Tevis, Food Network 1:18:55 – Elliott 1:19:56 – Mikaël We want YOU to share your story: What has being LGBTQ+ in the Survivor community meant to you?
