OutCasting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

OutCasting is a public radio program for LGBTQ youth. Launched in October 2011, OutCasting was originally broadcast on WDFH 90.3 FM, owned by the Hudson Valley Community Radio, Inc. in Ossining, New York.[1] After WDFH went off the air in 2013, it was replaced with WQXW (which is a repeater of Classical Station WQXR-FM), production of OutCasting was transferred to Media for the Public Good, Inc.[2] OutCasting is distributed throughout the United States by the Pacifica Radio Network[3] and subsequently on PRX.[4]

In 2019 Media for the Public Good, Inc. / OutCasting Media submitted episodes of OutCasting to the American Archive of Public Broadcasting, including 129 episodes from three distinct series: OutCasting, OutCasting OffAir (later called OutCasting Overtime), and OutCasting Plus. OutCasting is created by and for LGBTQ youth and straight allies, and is intended for a general listening audience that is open to learning about LGBTQ issues but may not know much about them.[5]
