                  ======================================== 
                              THIS WAY OUT
              the international gay & lesbian radio magazine
                   Program #1,044, distributed 03/31/08
   (hosted this week by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
                  Olivia sets records in sound and at sea;
   Pink pop, classic country and a sassy sister regale the "Audiofile";
   Thirty men are busted in an Iranian "morals" raid, a gay West Bank
 Palestinian reunites with his Tel Aviv partner, a sweeping LGBT rights
    bill is introduced in Cuba, an Ecuadorian Assemblymember denounces
           "orientation" protections, and more global GLBT news

* In "NewsWrap": The latest "morality" raid on a private home in Iran nets 30 
men accused of homosexual conduct, but Israel allows a West Bank Palestinian 
to live with his gay partner in Tel Aviv... Cuban lawmakers consider sweeping 
LGBT rights reforms, while 302 couples have registered their civil unions in 
the first year they've been offered in Mexico City, but an Ecuadorian 
legislator compares homosexuality to pedophilia and bestiality... the leader of a 
Nigerian LGBT rights group is viciously assaulted in Port Harcourt... while it 
really wasn't much of a secret, R.E.M. lead singer Michael Stipe officially comes 
out... and more LGBT news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON, and 
reported this week by ERICA SPRINGER & GREG GORDON).

* OLIVIA RECORDS was the audacious little California collective that brought 
some of the first great lesbian feminist music to the world.   Last time on 
"This Way Out," correspondent ELAINE MEIZLISH ["The Tenth Voice"/KKFI-Kansas 
City, Missouri] got Olivia pioneer and President JUDY DLUGACZ talking about the 
company's pivotal place in the evolution of women's music.   In this week's 
conclusion, she discusses more of Olivia's herstory, including how the record 
label transitioned into a lesbian cruise and vacation company (with intro music 
from "Leaping Lesbians" by SUE FINK and outro music from "Woman-Loving Women" 
by TERESA TRULL, and thanks to JD DOYLE, MARK MANNING, and JAMIE RICH for 
production assistance) [www.olivia.com, 1-800-631-6277].

* The city of Chicago rules in this month's AUDIOFILE" [with excerpts from 
"Like A Girl" and "Meet Mr. Right" from SCOTT FREE's "THE PINK ALBUM (A POP 
OPERA)" and "Easy Kisses" and "Cowboy Night" from the self-titled album by DEVIN & 
THE STRAIGHTS]; but a sassy sister also has her say ["What Would You Do If 
Your Heart Stopped Beating Tonight?" and "I Love the Nightlife" from ALICIA 
BRIDGES' "SAY IT SISTER"] (with comments by each artist, hosted by CHRIS WILSON &
