QTalk Arizona is “Arizona’s LGBT Podcast Network”. Podcasting on the Internet began in the mid-2000s and is the medium that has allowed many new voices to be heard across the world. Our LGBT community is a trend-setter and we believe this is the format that will dominate spoken and visual media into the decades ahead. We started with just one podcast in 2010 and now we have nine distinct podcast series on our network. We are the only gay podcast network in Arizona and the largest one (by in-house content) in the entire country!
QTalk Arizona works to be local in its focus, but broad in its reach. As time marches forward, we are working to bring new shows to our listeners to round out the variety of topics on the network. We are locally produced in Phoenix, Arizona and feature Joe Dugandzic, Babe Caylor, Bradly McComb, among others, as hosts of our shows. Please checkout the ‘Our Shows‘ page for more details on the shows. QTalk Arizona celebrated its one-year anniversary in June 2011 and upgraded its studio equipment to enhance the listener experience and the interactivity of our shows. In August 2011, we are introduced live ‘call-in’ features to several shows on the network to further enhance the bonds between our programs and our listeners. In December 2011, we announced new live show schedules for 2012, a third show converting to the live call-in format and advertising opportunities for businesses.
We are partnered with several local community and media organizations to expand the outreach of QTalk Arizona and to mutually help those organizations expand their own outreach into the community. And speaking of partnering, do you have an idea for a show? Bring it to us and let’s talk through it and see if it would fit within the QTalk Arizona mission. If you bring the content, we’ll help you produce it and cross-promote it through our other shows and advertising partners.
QTalk Arizona was founded by podcaster Joe Dugandzic in June 2010 and he acts as one of the hosts on several of QTalk Arizona’s programs and is one of the technical producers of programming on the network.
For 2012, we are beginning our next project, QTalk America. More details are forthcoming, but we wish to bring the model of QTalk Arizona to various cities throughout the United States and also have a ‘national network.’ This has never been attempted before, but we’re going to go for it! To help us make this a reality, watch this video on YouTube and give it a thumbs-up/like. Thank you!
