@ColemanGlobal @JPmorganchase @jpmorgan

During the Summer and Fall of 2023, Coleman Global, and our podcast station, WDON1204.com,  partnered with SAGEusa to bring “The Colors of Sound” Podcasting workshop to LGBT+ older adults in New York City. 

The inter-generational sessions focused on ‘Finding your point of view’ and ‘The Art of Storytelling’. Each week, participants crafted their own topics for discussion, developed their own questions to help move the conversation along, spoke about podcasting equipment, and had a brief introduction to how to market podcasts online. 

Throughout the workshop series, the participants shared personal stories of both struggle and of triumph. We laughed about the things that are common in society, and debated those things that divide our global community.
