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.

National Center for Lesbian Rights legal director Shannon Minter came on Gaywaves during the Amy Coney Barrett hearings to discuss her appointment, prospects for LGBTQ rights issues in the federal courts going forward, and a road map for LGBTQ rights to advance in the future.
"I am concerned about a lot of things that could happen if Amy Coney Barrett is put on the Court, but I am not particularly concerned that reversing Obergefell would be in the cards for a number of reasons." -- Shannon Minter
Minter's candid assessment differs from the political perspectives dominating the mainstream media and are divorced from the presidential campaign.
Also discussed in depth is the Fulton v. City of Philadelphia case that will be heard by the High Court the day after the election. Fulton will prove to be a more consequential case for LGBT equality going forward than anything out there right now, and it is not getting much attention.
A correction needs to be noted. The host incorrectly describes Jonathan Capehart's husband as a strategist for the DNC. In fact, he was an Obama appointee working for Hillary Clinton in the State Department.
This segment aired October 15.
