Genia Stevens runs the popular blog SistersTalk, and has been keeping it up for the last six years, writing on anything relating to LGBT issues. Stevens' new show on BlogTalkRadio will be lesbian-specific, where she dishes on everything from politics to music to race and gender issues.

LGBT filmmaker J.D. Disalvatore (Eating Out 2, Shelter, Gay Propaganda) has informed me that she's going to be co-hosting the Frank DeCaro Show with Doria Biddle on Sirius OutQ radio (Channel 109) this Friday from 8-11 a.m. PT (11 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET). And that's not all: Their guests will be actor/writer Guinevere Turner (Go Fish, American Psycho, The L Word), director Katherine Brooks (Loving Annabelle) and event producer Mariah Hanson (The Dinah).

"We'll be sipping DOM starting at 8 a.m. Pacific Time and dishing the lesbian dirt, telling it like it is for three hours," J.D. told me. Even better? You can call in (866-305-6887) and ask questions — "the more outrageous the better," according to J.D.

If you don't get Sirius satellite radio, you can listen for free on your computer with a three-day trial (go to siriusoutq.com and click on "Listen Online"). Just get some earbud-type headphones and nobody'll even notice you're listening at work! … continue reading

AfterElton.com recently did a story on "gay newsmen." Gay female correspondents do exist too, but they are more likely to do "one shots," covering an event or a few events in a series.

Diana Nyad, the celebrated long-distance swimmer, has done a lot of high-profile broadcasting. I see her these days at awards shows — she hosted both the Billies and the Women's Sports Foundation dinner. Both times I have seen her talk, her focus was on her 102.5-mile swim from the Bahamas to Florida. She is pretty damn funny, reenacting parts of her swim on stage.

For an interesting take on sports news that's totally different from your average newscast, check out Nyad's weekly show on KCRW, The Score, on which she has covered everything from the recent doping scandal in cycling to boxing, dog sledding, tennis and climbing. She is also the sports correspondent for NPR's Marketplace and a host for Savvy Traveler. Before that, Nyad was the Senior Correspondent for Fox Sports News from 1996–2001, and was the anchor for ABC’s Wide World of Sports from 1980–1988.

She's come a long way since 1974, when, at age 24, she became the first person to cross Lake Ontario from north to south in 18 hours and 20 minutes. And that was merely one of her many amazing feats.
