PRIDE

PRIDE is a queer culture show with a wide lens and a conversational pulse. It follows LGBTQ+ stories through the people making music, films, television, journalism, activism, and historical interpretation. The show is comfortable with fandom, but it is not only fan service. It asks how creative work gets made, who gets supported, and why representation still carries real weight. In one recent episode, Dasha talks about country music, TikTok momentum, line dancing, and the need to make that world feel less closed off. G Flip’s appearance turns songwriting into a messy, physical, funny process, full of identity, looseness, and an imagined Butch Springsteen universe. Film coverage can be playful and specific, lingering on twins, messy characters, strange bromances, horror deaths, prosthetics, quirky motel stories, and first love. The show also steps outside entertainment publicity when the subject calls for it. Sarah Ann Masse’s conversation centers survivor stories, creative projects, fiscal sponsorship, community need, and support that is active rather than performative. Tracy Gilchrist’s episode turns a viral interview moment into a larger discussion of queer media, solidarity, and trans coverage. Kevin Ortega Rojas brings the show into the Gender Liberation March, where personal stories about gender affirming care sit beside public organizing and intergenerational presence. Historical episodes widen the frame further, using Andrew Lear’s work on ancient Greece and Rome to question easy myths about the queer past. The mood can be bright and chatty. It can also get pointed. That mix is the appeal: PRIDE treats queer joy, celebrity, art, advocacy, and scholarship as parts of the same cultural conversation. It gives listeners access to recognizable names while also making space for organizers, researchers, and behind-the-scenes builders. The result is a show for people who care about what queer representation feels like, how it is produced, and what it makes possible.
