Michel Martin

Michel Martin was the recipient of the 2012 Randy Shilts Award for LGBTQ Coverage. The host of “Tell Me More,” Martin has consistently lived up to her program’s title with her coverage of the LGBTQ community, going beyond the headlines to ask deeper questions – from whether gay marriage might lead to legal polygamy to how gay and lesbian people are reshaping African American and Latino activism. Her regular series exploring “private lives” has brought her listeners voices few have heard before – including persecuted gay men in Africa, people living with HIV and AIDS on Indian reservations and transgender athletes chasing Olympic glory.
