 "It's a radio show to take you behind the curtain and between the sensational headlines of Taylor Lianne Chandler. You’ve read about her in tabloids such as the National Enquirer, on social media, worldwide scandalous reports, as well as talk shows. However, you  truly know nothing about the life of Taylor Lianne Chandler, but that's all about to change".

Taylor is going to bring her past to life in an open format, like only radio can. Listen to this Wonder Woman as she exposes the true details of her life, along with confronting today's hottest subjects concerning the Intersex, Transgender and Queer communities. Subjects celebrating transgender and pride lifestyles, as well as taking on the administration and those who have failed to recognize, lead and fight for equality for those in the Intersex, Transgender community.

​Taylor added a co-host, Natalie Thompson, Vice President, of Capital Pride Alliance in the summer of 2019. As a Queer identifying woman of color she brings a much needed perspective to today's issues.

“I want to go beyond the sensational and help people understand our community better, whether you are in it or confused about it. "Gives Good Radio" I feel, is what's been missing, a show that informs, educates and brings acceptance and understanding to a marginalized community that we all encounter whether we know it or not."
