Robert Drake’s “Out Loud!” returns, plus more special programming for Pride Month

Pride Month is just around the corner starting in June, and here to help soundtrack the celebrations is XPN’s month of special programming featuring LGBTQ+ voices.

Starting things off on Sunday, June 2nd from 1 PM to 5 PM, DJ Robert Drake hosts the annual Out Loud! show, a four-hour special of community-building, revolutionary anthems from queer artists from the 70s to now. Hear the songs that inspired people to come out through the decades.
