Episode 1.1 - All We Have Now

Author: Jack Tracy, Necessary Outlet Productions June 11, 2019 Duration: 18:53
In celebration of LGBTQIA Pride 2019, Necessary Outlet Productions is pleased to preview its upcoming audio drama "Community" exclusively on Spotify for the month of June. Subscribe now for future episodes coming this summer. In our pilot episode, Nathan drags Hector to Toxic nightclub to see legendary drag queen Velossa Raptor. Elsewhere, Jess and Desiree have their date interrupted by Jess's erratic ex, Cynthia. As bartender Miguel goes to breakup an altercation, colleague Luke lags behind to lament the end of his military career following the recent transgender ban. Downstairs, Ellie and Andy regret bringing a bachelorette party to the club.

Jack Tracy and Necessary Outlet Productions present Community, a narrative podcast that unfolds at the tense intersection of news, politics, and daily life. The story begins with an unthinkable tragedy: a mass shooting at a gay nightclub called Toxic. This fictional event forces a diverse group of characters from across the LGBTQIA spectrum to navigate a landscape of grief, fear, and urgent action. The series delves into the complex, often fraught personal dynamics within any community, exploring how internal debates about art, health, sexuality, and performance collide with an external crisis. What you'll hear is a raw and layered audio drama about the struggle to find unity and strength in the aftermath of violence. It's a story about the historical resilience of marginalized people, tested once again. The creators emphasize that while the events are fictional, the emotional and societal themes are intensely real, and listener discretion is advised due to disturbing content. This isn't a simple tale of heroes and villains; it's a nuanced portrait of people trying to survive, support one another, and rebuild their sense of safety and identity. Each episode of this podcast builds a world that feels urgently contemporary, asking difficult questions about how we live and connect when everything feels fractured.
