Chicago Queer & Now is a podcast hosted by Chicago Reader staffers Adam M. Rhodes (they/them) and Taryn Allen (she/her) who are exploring Chicago's queer culture through guest interviews, dives into the Reader archives, and conversations about current queer events, pop culture, identity, and more.

The show is hosted by Adam Rhodes and Taryn Allen, produced by Brianna Wellen, and edited by Adam Rhodes. It features original theme music by Richard Brasseale, voice work by Kirk Williamson, and show logos by Taryn Allen.
