Now, as a journalist, he’s searching for the stories he craved when he was coming of age. Through intimate interviews with LGBTQ+ elders, Jordan uncovers the untold stories of queer history. And in the process, he discovers the role models he always needed and the wisdom they’ve been waiting to pass down. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc452a823ed715027a3e71b/a629d5df-4b6d-40fa-a319-d8260922f648/WWYI92+Final+3000x3000+iHR.jpg Podcasts - Where Were You In ‘92? 1992: The year of big-butt anthems, achy-breaky hearts, and Madonna’s Sex book. The year that Boyz II Men and Whitney Houston shattered chart records, while U2 and TLC confronted the AIDS crisis head-on. The year that introduced us to grunge, G-funk, and… Right Said Fred. In this podcast, journalist Jason Lamphier (Entertainment Weekly) looks back at the major hits, one-hit wonders, shocking headlines, and irresistible scandals that shaped what might be the wildest, weirdest, most controversial 12 months in music history. Featuring interviews with music video directors, MTV bigwigs, obsessive superfans, and special guests like Sir Mix-a-Lot, Ice-T, Tori Amos, and Vanessa Williams, Where Were You in '92? poses the question: What was it about 1992 that made it so groundbreaking, so bonkers, and so absolutely fabulous?

Rolling Stone magazine journalist Robert Greenfield was along for the ride, writing the seminal rock book STP (Stones Touring Party) — culled from weeks on the road and more than 60 hours of interviews with the band and their entourage. Now, for the first time, Greenfield and fellow STP vet Gary Stromberg share that tape archive, allowing listeners to sit in on intimate chats with the Stones in their prime. Written and hosted by Jordan Runtagh, with original music and sound design by Noel Brown and Mykal Alder June, Stones Touring Party is an all-access pass to the sights, sounds, riots, bombings, drug busts, death threats and other assorted mayhem from this pivotal moment in American history.

Last One Out is a one-woman-show by Mykal Alder June about gay bar sex, hormones, queer dating, and the joys and confusion of coming out as trans in middle age. Originally performed at the Atlanta Fringe Festival May 30 - June 7, 2025 June is brash, then precious, then rageful, then heartfelt, then irreverent, almost all in the same breath. She takes these colorful fragments and makes them into a mosaic, together composing a splintered yet beautiful image of girlhood. We all transition in one way or another, and all people, trans or otherwise, can learn from June’s story about the power – and necessity – of saving your own life. —Rough Draft Atlanta
