Voltage, Visions & Variety

Hosts: Ez (he/him) and Elliott (he/him)

This week on Tranzmission, Ez (he/him) and Elliott (he/him) bring you the latest in community news and events, alongside three exciting interviews with incredible trans and gender diverse artists.

In the studio, Ez and Elliott sit down with Jaye Heather (she/her) to chat about her upcoming comedy show Frozen Girl Sperm at Big Fork Theatre on Friday April 24 — a bold and hilarious exploration you won’t want to miss. Ez also speaks with Naavikaran about their MYSTIQ Tour, hitting The Cave Inn on Friday April 17, as well as their powerful film project Where Are You From?. Plus, Ez catches up with Naarm-based band Cry Club to dive into their electrifying new album High Voltage Anxiety — in an interview that unexpectedly journeys into metaphysical and moral philosophy, and absolutely delivers.
