Queerstories, a podcast exploring LGBTQI+ culture and creativity, has joined the Acast Creator network.
The podcast is part of a national storytelling project by Maeve Marsden and will now be hosted and distributed by the podcast company.
Queerstories features both professional storytellers and emerging talent, with each guest sharing the story they want to tell, but are never asked to — unexpected tales of pride, prejudice, resilience and resistance.
“Knowing the connection Maeve has with her listeners, I’ve wanted Queerstories to be part of the Acast Creator Network for some time,” says Acast AUNZ content development manager Jordon Lott.
“We’re so pleased that Maeve has chosen to host Queerstories with Acast, giving audiences everywhere access to these important stories.”
Season three of Queerstories launched this week with the first episode featuring guest Sarah Tiong, former MasterChef Australia contestant. New episodes of Queerstories will be released every Tuesday and will include guests such as Samuel Leighton-Dore, Ellen Van Neerven, Liv Hewson, and Omar Sakr.
“With hundreds of episodes, the Queerstories podcast is such an incredible archive now, elevating the stories from the LGBTQI+ community that aren’t always heard,” Marsden says.
“Partnering with a global leader in Acast allows me to bring these stories to more and more listeners — a perfect next step for the Queerstories project, as it continues to grow and further serve its thriving community.”
