This Way Out

This Way Out is the only internationally distributed weekly LGBTQ radio program, currently airing on some 200 local community radio stations around the world. The award-winning half-hour magazine-style program features a summary of some of the major news events in or affecting the queer community (NewsWrap), in-depth coverage of major events, interviews with key queer figures, plus music, literature, entertainment — all the information and culture of a community on the move!

The image is a promotional graphic for “This Way Out,” an international LGBTQ radio magazine broadcast on KBCS 91.3. The background features a gradient of bright, rainbow colors blending into each other, symbolizing LGBTQ+ pride. In the center-left, there’s a logo consisting of a triangle with a globe in the middle. The globe is filled with colorful sound waves representing the radio format and global reach. The text “This Way Out” is written in bold black letters above the logo. To the right, there is a white bubble with the text “The International LGBTQ Radio Magazine” in a stylized font, emphasizing the show’s global and inclusive nature. Below this, there is smaller text that reads “Tuesdays @ 5AM,” indicating the broadcast time. At the top of the image is the KBCS 91.3 logo, which is a rectangular green and brown box with white text. The Bellevue College logo is placed subtly at the bottom center of the image, showing affiliation with the institution. The design is colorful and dynamic, with clear, contrasting text that is easy to read. The use of rainbow colors and the globe emphasizes the show’s focus on LGBTQ+ issues from a global perspective.

Philosophy Talk

Philosophy on the radio? You’ve got to be kidding? Well, sometimes we do (kid, that is). Mostly we look at today’s important ideas with an eye to thinking them through.

Philosophy Talk is a weekly, one-hour radio series. The hosts’ down-to-earth and no-nonsense approach brings the richness of philosophic thought to everyday subjects. Topics are lofty (Truth, Beauty, Justice), arresting (Terrorism, Intelligent Design, Suicide), and engaging (Baseball, Love, Happiness).

This is not a lecture or a college course; it’s philosophy in action!

Philosophy Talk is a fun opportunity to explore issues of importance to your audience in a thoughtful, friendly fashion, where thinking is encouraged.
