❤️🧡💛💚💙💜In this episode of A Story Worth Telling, we interview Tris Reid-Smith, and Scott Nunn. Truly a power couple, Tris and Scott have both worked in journalism for the last 25 years and have recently founded their own charity PrideWide to combat misinformation online and tell authentic queer stories.

We hear some incredible tales from their careers, and explore how journalism and LGBTQ+ news has changed over the last decade. Of course, we also explore the film or TV that sparked their queer awakening, with a surprise performance from Miss Piggy?? We'll be watching an unforgettable scene from 'Beautiful Thing 1996' as we revisit this classic Queer Movie and discuss what makes it so special.
