Hosts Rosalie Lewis and Tim Rosenberger celebrate pride month by educating themselves on the gay and lesbian experience through two historic documentaries: Portrait of Jason (1967) and Word Is Out: Stories of Some of Our Lives (1977). The films explore what it was like to be gay in the 60s, 70s, and earlier.

Both films are currently avaible on The Criterion Channel.
