The History of LGBTQ Radio

**In the premiere episode, we go back to the beginnings of LGBTQ+ radio. And hear how it developed from the 1950s to the 1970s. And we meet the host and producer of *The Gay Life*, Randy Alfred (pictured above!)** *Revisiting The Gay Life* is a new 12-episode series from KALW’s *Queer Power Hour*. It explores a pivotal moment in SF’s LGBTQ history — from the rise of Harvey Milk to the early days of what would later be called AIDS. We reconsider this time through a perhaps unexpected lens: a radio show called *The Gay Life* that aired on KSAN, a commercial rock and roll station in the Bay Area in the late 1970s and early 1980s.  *Revisiting The Gay Life* is produced by KALW Public Media in collaboration with the GLBT Historical Society and The Gay Life's longtime host Randy Alfred.
