Preserving trans voices, one story at a time. The Trans Narrative Podcast is a global archive of lived experience, honoring and documenting trans and gender-diverse lives through long-form storytelling. Listen, witness, and join a community that refuses erasure. ⸻ The Trans Narrative Podcast is an international storytelling and archival platform dedicated to honoring and preserving trans and gender-diverse lives through long-form narrative. With more than 150 episodes across five seasons and listeners in over 80 countries, the show documents lived experience from beginning to end, treating each story as historical record rather than soundbite. Stories are how humans survive. Long before institutions, algorithms, and borders, people relied on memory, oral history, and shared narrative to understand who they were and how they belonged to one another. In a world that fragments us, storytelling becomes continuity. In a moment marked by misrepresentation, silencing, and erasure of trans lives, preservation is necessary. Each episode follows a grounded narrative arc. Guests share their beginnings, identity formation, challenges, achievements, and aspirations. These are testimonies, not debates. Accuracy and care matter more than virality. What is recorded cannot be easily erased. The Trans Narrative Podcast exists because without community we suffer. When stories disappear, people do too. Recording our voices in our own words preserves us and resists erasure for future generations. The podcast is rooted in community rather than spectacle. It resists reduction and refuses to flatten trans lives into crisis or inspiration. Instead, it creates space for complexity, joy, grief, humor, work, art, and survival. It is a living archive shaped by the people who trust it with their stories. Hosted by Caroline Penny, the show centers narrative sovereignty and honors trans voices as they are. Caroline believes trans people do not need to be translated or corrected to be understood. Listening and preserving stories is an act of care for current and future generations. Season Five marks four years of continuous storytelling and a renewed commitment to documenting trans lives at a time when visibility alone is not enough. This podcast is a record. It is proof that we were here, that we spoke, that we loved, that we built community, and that our stories were worth keeping. Witnessing, preserving, and holding these stories is how we survive, how we resist, and how we endure. 🎙️ If you are a trans or gender-diverse person interested in sharing your story, you are welcome to email transnarrativepodcast@gmail.com.
