Queer Life Stories is back with our second series - exploring stories from the LGBTIQA+ community here in Tasmania, Australia.
This episode features Jess & Lauren who speak about their recent acceptance of the lesbian identity after having their own heteronormative marriages and children prior to meeting. Lauren also speaks about growing up in the Mormon religion and the influence and impact that has had on her journey.
Lauren is also a co-host of her own podcast, From God to Gay, with co-host Carris; who discuss their upbringing and conditioning in christian churches which lead to marriage and children before leaving the church and finding peace in their acceptance of their sexuality. Each episode speaks to a different topic from their perspective and is a fascinating exploration of how religion has impacted on their identities and lives. Highly recommend checking it out!
Queer Life Stories: The Second Series is made possible with the incredible support of Working It Out.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
