ME!
Hi, I’m Brigid and I’m a 30-something trans woman living in Michigan with a lot to say. All my life I’ve been told that I have a voice for radio and lately as I’ve transitioned I’ve been told that I am skilled at communicating my story and my experiences.
I started transitioning in late 2018. It’s been over a year and I’ve learned so much about life, beauty, discrimination, privilege, fear, bravery, and a million other topics.
Bridging the Gap!
About the Project
This podcast is a chance for me to try and share my story with the world. The story of a one-eyed ginger kid who spent 30 years trying to fit in and feel like a man only to discover that there was a deep and powerful reason they couldn’t seem to achieve those goals.
I want to share my story with the world for a few reasons…
About the Show Itself
The structure of the show has actually already been decided and things like music and guest hosts are already in the works and will not require investment. The release schedule has not been decided on just yet. It’ll depend on editing and guests and so forth.
The title of the show is a play on my name, specifically the pronunciation of it and the idea of transition being a bridge between my past self and my future self (thanks to @__francesann__ on instagram for the name!)
What we know…
Where Does the Money Go?
Any money raised by this Kickstarter is going towards initial equipment costs and hosting fees. It all depends on how much we raise.
Bare minimum I’d need about $200 for a microphone, mount, boom, peripherals, and hosting fees.
But ideally I’m hoping to get an AKG Project Studio P220 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone ($134), a Heil Sound PL-2T Overhead Broadcast Boom ($109), a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (3rd Gen) USB Audio Interface ($160), peripherals, and hosting fees.
If we exceed the goal, I can afford better equipment including editing software.
UPDATED EQUIPMENT LIST WITH CURRENT PLEDGED AMOUNT ($1151)!!!
So with $1151 I’m looking to buy…
Roadmap
Thank You!
Any support you can provide would go a long way towards helping me achieve a lifelong goal of using my unique voice and experience to help others. Whether that support is monetary, or in the form of sharing a link to this page, or even just messaging me saying you love me… it’s all support.
I love you all and I’m so proud of you!
Thank you!
-Brigid
P.S. REMEMBER: Kickstarter is an ALL OR NOTHING platform! We need to hit the goal in order to make this happen!

Consistently releasing episodes, amount of content, hosting fees, advertising/marketing, delays in writing thank you letters and doing thank you art.
