Description

When Simon heard Alana's story, a devout catholic girl who took her life, he knew it needed to be told. After hearing her journey with conversion therapy, and having a similar journey himself, he decided to see what he could do to get it out there. He pulled together stories from her friend's, family, and journals and made the podcast Dear Alana. Winning several awards and touching thousands of hearts, this story made a huge impact when it released. We interview Simon on his journey making the podcast and how making it changed his life. https://discord.gg/DcaTx45V https://www.patreon.com/c/ITriedtoBeStraight https://dearalana.com/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/i-tried-to-be-straight/support
