If you or someone at your station has produced or will be producing a news, interview or feature story which may be of interest to the international LGBTQ community, please let us know! We're a bare bones nonprofit and can only reimburse minor expenses, but we do offer a considerably larger number of ears for locally produced material (TWO airs on dozens and dozens of terrestrial and online stations around the world). Please say hello to Coordinating Producer Greg Gordon at TWOradio@aol.com. AND If youâre able, your financial support of our charitable U.S. nonprofit will be much appreciated and help keep us in ears around the world! (and weâll acknowledge your 3-digits-or-more generosity on-air!) PayPal.Me/ThisWayOut Thank you!
