(June 1, 2017) Gilbert Baker, the creator of the rainbow flag, died on March 31, 2017. We had the opportunity to interview him just a month earlier, on March 1, for OutCasting Episodes 36 and 37. The May 1 edition of OutCasting Overtime (formerly OutCasting OffAir) is a remembrance of Gilbert from OutCasting youth participant Alex, who interviewed Gilbert on March 1.

- There will be a memorial rally honoring Gilbert's life on Wednesday evening, June 14, starting at 6:00 PM in front of the Stonewall in NYC. OutCaster Alex is scheduled to be one of the speakers. Details [pdf]: http://bit.ly/2sc1duG

You must be able to attend weekly production sessions, which are generally held in the afterschool or evening hours. Our home studio is in Westchester County, just north of New York City. We also operate an OutCasting bureau at Michigan State University in East Lansing.

NEW BOARD MEMBERS — We are in the looking for highly qualified people to join MFPG's Board of Directors. Ideal applicants should have previous non-profit board experience, willingness and preferably experience in non-profit fundraising, and a strong and supportive interest in LGBTQ issues. It's not necessary for you to be physically located in the New York area. Please read more and then contact us if you're interested in applying.
OutCasting, public radio's groundbreaking LGBTQ youth program, is produced by MFPG — MEDIA FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD, INC., a national nonprofit public media production organization with a local public radio heritage: for many years, we owned and operated a public radio station just north of New York City — WDFH FM 90.3 Westchester Public Radio. As MFPG, we can now focus more intently on production of programming while reaching a vastly larger audience than was possible running a single local public radio station.
Our mission: Giving a national voice to LGBTQ youth, training a new generation of media activists, and contributing to our national discussion of LGBTQ issues.
LISTEN — You can hear OutCasting here on MFPG.org and via iTunes. And hear the show on public radio: OutCasting is distributed nationally on the Pacifica Radio Network and can be heard on public radio stations around the country.
SUPPORT — We need your support to produce this program. Please make your tax-deductible gift now!
And if you're a possible major individual donor or a foundation or a business that wants to support the LGBTQ community through OutCasting, please see our special message for you.
SOCIAL MEDIA — Find OutCasting on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Tumblr @outcastingmedia. Please join us there and tell your friends!
