Gaywaves is the longest continuously aired LGBTQ public affairs radio program in Ohio and probably beyond, having originally aired as Radio Lambda in the 1970s. The show's expanded format and pre-recorded interviews have given the opportunity to share parts of the show beyond NE Ohio. This podcast is the best of the recorded interviews with LGBTQ news makers and opinion shapers from all over the country. The interviewer is Eric Resnick, a premiere LGBT newspaper journalist formally with the now defunct Gay People's Chronicle. The podcast features newsworthy interviews with national LGBT political figures, activists, and community leaders.

Our guest on Gaywaves this week is Akron Mayoral candidate Shammas Malik, an LGBTQ ally who is important for us to know. Malik helped to pass Akron's civil rights ordinance while a civil attorney in the law department. As a member of city council he led passage of a ban on conversion therapy and has been instrumental in making Akron one of the most LGBTQ affirming cities in Ohio.
Malik talks about those efforts and what he offers as the most progressive candidate for the office, police reform, equity and inclusion in city government, and his relationship to the LGBTQ community.
