Episode notes

Dearest tealings, join us for a conversation today about chorus community culture, and how we've seen it evolve here in Iowa. We also take about our favorite bar, the Legendary Blazing Saddle! 🐴

———

Featuring Tristan Miedema & Tessa Tura from Iowa's only trans and nonbinary singing ensemble TRANScendent.

Welcome to Trans Tea, a podcast all about queer life in the Midwest — the community, the trans choral movement, and the queer stories yet to be told. Co-hosted by Tessa Tura (she/her), drag entertainer, queer activist, and one of TRANScendent's founding members & Tristan Miedema (he/they), director of TRANScendent, Iowa's only trans and non-binary singing ensemble. We're here to talk about queer Iowans living out loud and the voices making it happen. So consider this your invitation — sit back and grab a cup, cuz we're spillinggg.
