Breaking Away
by Josh Gleason (Vox Tablet, 2010)
Luzer Twersky was raised as a Hasidic Jew. At the age of 23 he decided to leave his family and everything he'd ever known to move into secular society. His upbringing had been strict -- no school, no movies, no dates, no jobs. Otrasized from his community, he entered a world he knew very little about. *Includes an interview with the producer, Josh Gleason (extended interview in 'extras' section).
Finding Miles
by Sarah P. Reynolds (Transom.org, 2010)
A few years ago, radio producer Sarah Reynolds was privy to an intimate
confession: her friend Megan told her that she was about to undergo a transition in
gender from female to male. Over the next year, Megan and Sarah recorded hundreds of hours of tape as she became Miles. From this tape, Sarah created an intimate documentation of the journey. This piece was originally produced for Transom.org with support from Jay Allison.
