PRIDE : Ryan Mitchell on Being Seen, Heard, and on a Billboard
SHOW NOTES
Queer media isn’t just representation—it’s history, healing, and a little bit of chaos.This week on Pride, host Caitlynn McDaniel is joined by Ryan Mitchell—culture critic, media multi-hyphenate, and co-creator of iHeart’s new podcast HIGHKEY! From working red carpets with just a phone to landing a billboard in Times Square, Ryan’s career path is anything but typical—and deeply rooted in community, voice, and showing up unapologetically queer.Together, Caitlynn and Ryan talk about:
🎧 Listen to HIGHKEY! wherever you get your podcasts.
- Why Glee is queer canon (even if Caitlynn missed the memo)
- Finding belonging in unexpected places—from the NFL to WeHo Pride
- Podcasting as therapy, queer joy, and holding space for voices that rarely get it
- The wild ride of building High Key with two other loud, brilliant queer hosts
- Why this Pride season feels a little… off, and why it matters
