PHOENIX, AZ, 01/19/2012 — QTalk Arizona is excited to announce that Compete Radio is joining its network of podcasts and live call-in shows.

QTalk Arizona also becomes the production team for Compete Radio’s weekly shows.

Compete Radio’s third season will launch at 2pm MST on Saturday, January 28th, 2012 with co-hosts Eric Carlyle and Connie Wardman from Compete Sports Media and Joe Dugandzic from QTalk Arizona.

QTalk Arizona was created in June 2010 by podcaster Joe Dugandzic as a way to fill the void in LGBT talk radio programming in Arizona. QTalk Arizona’s mission is to inform, inspire, connect and entertain the LGBT community and its allies, both in Arizona and beyond. Today, QTalk Arizona has nine distinct talk shows covering a wide variety of topics, and it is the largest LGBT podcast network in the country. Instead of simply aggregating content and podcasts, QTalk Arizona produces the majority of its content in- house. Three of the podcasts are also broadcast live on the Internet in a call-in/online chat format. The other six range from covering local nightlife and cultural events, technology news and reviews, gay sports news and athletes, food and wine lifestyle programming and more. These programs are produced and hosted by individuals representing a diverse cross-section of the LGBT and allied communities.
