Radio Talk show!
September 24, 2015
Yes humans it is time for the first episode of the Speaking Of Happy Radio Talk Show! Hosted by Eli Rigatuso! This is a unique version of the show as it is an interview between Eli and a long time friend. The interview took place about a week after the Caitlyn Jenner 20/20 Interview with Diane Sawyer. At the time this was recorded Caitlyn was still going by Bruce and was OK with the pronouns Him/He. And I do refer to Caitlyn in this manner during the interview. Please understand that it is imperative to honor the request of transgender people when they provide you with a name and pronouns. It is about respect. I wanted to share this interview because even referring to myself as Transgender was very new for me and I had yet to pick out a name that works for me or even begin to think about what my transition would look like.
Since this interview I have picked a name and have shared with my family and many friends and even strangers about my transition. I am proud to refer to myself as Eli Rigatuso, Trans Man. I will be sharing many other stories as well as videos created by me to this site so keep checking back. I seriously hope you enjoy the interview.
It originally Aired on www.radiomaha.com an online radio station located in Omaha and broadcast all over the interwebs and run by an eclectic group of radioheads. I will be doing a regular weekly talk show which I am calling Speaking Of Happy and will be interviewing local LGTBQIA organizations and people living in Omaha, Nebraska.
