Jennie McNulty Presents: Walking Funny With... Franco Stevens

by
Trish Bendix

This time Jennie takes a walk with the founder of Curve Magazine, Franco Stevens aboard The Norwegian Spirit on the maiden voyage of Sweet. With LGBT publications folding everyday, find out how Franco has kept Curve going for 20 years, including the exciting new components of the online version of the publication. And you won't believe how she initially funded it.

Franco also talks about the heart-warming stories she discovered during the trip at each port and what it felt like to be able to participate at each stop as a differently-abled person.

To find out more about Curve, go to curvemag.com and, as always, for more info on Jennie, her tour schedule and "The Extra Mile," go to jenniemcnulty.com.

    This episode was great.  Jennie, it's nice to see you interviewing different types of people. It's great you picked Franco Stevens. 

    I didn't know the background of Curve mag so this is nice.  I like the term differently-abled, very positive word.  It's empowering.

    I must say thank you Franco for capturing your dream. I've seen the changes the magazine has experienced.  I must say the digital format was the wisest decision ever made.  I believe Writer's digest either has switched to digital format or will switch to digital.  I believe, if magazines and newspapers were to follow suit,they will be able to boost their circulation even more. Plus, as I'm now experiencing, it's a headache to recycle newspapers and magazines.  Humans  use a lot of trees,a lot. So thanks for finding a more alternative outlet for readers to  read about Lesbian culture, news,entertainment,etc. and  for preserving trees.

    Great episode :) I'll admit, I had to re-wind the first minute or so because I was so distracted by Jennie's arms...
