The JOIN Podcast

The JOIN Podcast

The JOIN Podcast, from Friends of the Joiners Arms, shares the voices and insights of members of our LGBTIQ+ community who are too often sidelined as we discuss building queer spaces that are accessible and affirming for all. In this six-part series, JOIN Project contributors explore how homelessness and insecure immigration status create painful barriers to queer spaces… and explain how we as a community can bring those barriers down!
