Can Nonprofit ‘Out in STL’ Save LGBTQ Media?

In this episode of The 314 Podcast, host Sarah Fenske talks with Chris Andoe about the new and retooled Out in STL. Andoe recently purchased the 8-year-old LGBTQ magazine Out In STL for $1 and relaunched it under a nonprofit board. He explains why he’s optimistic about the venture even when local media is struggling and corporations have turned their back on the LGBTQ community—and also shares how he found his calling in St. Louis. Then, Sarah chats with SLM staff writer Ryan Krull about what he learned about St. Louis’ historic Sumner High School, which has made big gains since nearly being shuttered in 2021, only to face new threats in the tornado’s aftermath.
