Geez Press
Geez Out Loud is a production of Geez Press. In this fringe-Christian, Lefty podcast, select stories featured in the quarterly, print magazine are read to you by the author. ABOUT GEEZ: Geez magazine is a quarterly, non-profit, ad-free, print magazine about social justice, art, and activism for people at the fringes of faith in both Canada and the US. Our aim is to nurture a community of faith-oriented folks that are concerned about the environment, peace, racial and gender justice, decolonization, and other social concerns. At best, we offer a prophetic and provocative voice to the institutional church and a pastoral presence to those laboring at the front lines of social change.
