Continuing from September, this is Part 2 of my latest Transgender Music Special, another three hour
show. This time my interview is with Ryan Cassata, a Long Island teenager who has found himself
as a Transgender Activist, and he's also a singer/songwriter, so we'll hear about both aspects.

This is my 13th show focused on the music of Transgender Artists, and I try to make
them a resource for finding what artists are making music and for folks to hear as much as
I can share on these shows, now totaling over 24 hours, all archived.
You can find links to past shows at the bottom of the page.

I've played 142 different TG artists, and over
350 different songs, some of them several times, and I routinely
include TG artists on most of my other shows
