180. The Next Chapter of LGBTQ+ Storytelling (with Steven Rowley)
Episode 180
Monday, 6 April, 2026

Historically, LGBTQ+ storylines in literature, film, and television were confined to predominantly tragic narratives, where heartbreak, loss, or death defined queer characters. Today, that representation is evolving, with authentic, multidimensional portrayals of LGBTQ+ characters navigating complex emotions, relationships, and life stages that reflect real queer experiences.In this episode, Steven Rowley, New York Times bestselling author of The Guncle, joins us to delve into his newest novel, Take Me with You, and why modern LGBTQ+ stories exploring grief, family, and identity matter.Related Episodes:Listen to Episode 95.
