"The first time I ever saw Clare McCarthy, she stopped me in my tracks. What stopped me was the face as she was listening. Even though there were thousands of people around us, she looked like the only people in the world were the ones at the mics in front of her."

— Chion Wolf, Producer/Host, Audacious
“WOW! I give it an 11 out of 10. The clear explanations, effective use of media, and willingness to show vulnerability in order to advocate for trans people made this one of the best presentations I have hosted in my public library career."

— Rachel Tonucci, Bloomfield (CT) Public Library
“You are thoroughly, warmly present with your guests, creating an audio sanctuary for wisdom, compassion, nuance and contrapuntal perspective. Fabulousness reigns. And you are a dynamic agent of change."

"Your questions were fantastic. It made me think, which any educator should do."

"This is my second time visiting Clare McCarthy's "Transqat" podcast, and it was just as much a joy as the first. Clare is funny, insightful, and a truly terrific listener. Now I have to go do something with my life so she'll invite me on a third time!"

Eliot Schrefer, author, Queer Ducks & Other Animals
"Clare was a communicative programmer to work with, and every patron who came to her program wants her to return again! She was engaging in a way that helped everyone learn, and rather than lecturing, was able to provide media literacy skills that helped patrons not only learn what but how and why of different news bits. We will definitely be having her back again!
