On Pride, host Caitlynn McDaniel deep dives into the LGBTQ+ stories lighting up our screens — and the people who bring them to life.
Each week, she sits down with the stars we love, the creators behind the scenes, and the voices changing the way stories are told. From on-screen firsts to behind-the-scenes breakthroughs, Pride is where iconic characters, coded moments, and groundbreaking storytelling all come together.
Whether it’s a rom-com kiss that made you feel seen, a coming-out arc that hit too close to home, or a soundtrack that screamed queer joy — we’re celebrating it all, and the people making it happen.
Because representation isn’t extra — it’s everything.

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:
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
Plus: hot takes on Final Destination, emotional Disney fireworks, and the kind of deep chats that make you wonder if you’re secretly in therapy.🎙️ Follow Ryan on socials: @theslaygawd 🎧 Listen to HIGHKEY! wherever you get your podcasts.
