Lerone Landis
Lerone Landis is the co-host and producer of Lambda Weekly, the LGBT radio show that is
broadcast each Sunday at noon on 89.3 KNON-FM. He has a degree in radio, television and
film from the University ofNorth Texas, and now lives in Garland with his partner of nine years,
Danny Valle. Landis is always looking for new guests from the LGBT community to appear on
the show. For more information, go online to www.knon.org or e-mail lambdaweekly.com.
He id you first started in radio?
Believe it or not, my first radio job was with a religious radio station. But I thought coming on
board with a gay radio show would be a better fit for me, since I was not closeted.
Why does working on a gay radio show appeal to you?
I am somewhat of a GLBT news junkie, and I also find that doing radio satisfies my appetite to
be part of a discourse concerning anything that relates to our community.
H o has lambda Weekly helped bring the LGBT community together?
Lambda Weekly has been on the air since 1983, and in that time we have had just about every-
body that's anybody in the community on as a guest. When these various groups come on the
air and get the word out that they need support for whatever their cause is, our listeners usual-
ly step up to the plate to help out a group that they might not have known about otherwise.
What does Lambda Weekly bring to the community that other media options don't?
WheiBas the Internet, TV and newspapers are the most common sources of information for
GLBT North Texans, Lambda Weekly can provide, not just headlines, but an open dialogue
about our issues with local hosts and local guests. You simply cannot find that anywhere else
locally.
What oes Lambda Weekly need back from the community?
I h®p€ our listener base continues to grow and that we can get more listener support in regards
to funding, because KNON is a community station and that means we operate on donations
from everyday people in the DFW area. That's where the station's logo — "The voice of the
people" — comes from. We pride ourselves on being part of the oldest and longest-running
GLBT show in the country. But to keep that title, we must meet our financial goals. And listen-
ers can help us do that by donating so we can stay on the air.
Soundout is a weekly column featuring people whose jobs and interests have an impact on the daily lives of members
of the SLBT community. It features those who often go unnoticed by the press and community. If you'd like to recom-
mend someone to cover in this column, contact sTammye Nash at nash@dallasvoice.com.
